The Stranding of the lowa.

OFFICIAL REPORT.

Greenwich Police-court, March 17, 1865.

Report of the inquiry into the stranding of the steam-
ship lowa, at Omonville, on the coast of France, on the
6th of December, 1864 :

The lowa was an iron screw steamer, barque-rigged, of
1,781 tons register, 400 horse power, built at Water-
ford in the year 1864, and the property of Messrs. Mal-
colmson and Co., of that city. She was employed in the
trade between London and Now York, via Havre,
and at the time of her loss had on board 170 to
180 passengers, and a general cargo of 800 tons.
This was her third voyage, and she was commanded by
Captain Stephen Jarman, and manned by a crew of 56,
including the master and three mates. Captain Jarman
had commanded the ship from the time of her launch, and
holds a Board of Trade certificate of competency, dated
28th of January-, 1853. The lowa was swung for devia-

rect on her former voyages out and home. One of her
steering compasses, which had been found to oscillate on
her homeward voyage, was exchanged for a heavier one
before leaving London on this voyage. On the 3d of
December she took her departure from London, arrived
at Havre on the 4th, and took her departure from thence
on the 6th, at 230 p.m., laying her course at N.W. N.
from Fairway Buoy, which course the master considered
would clear Cape Barfleur Light at a distance of about five
miles. At 830 p.m. Cape Barfleur Light was sighted,
bearing W.S.W., at a supposed distance of four to six miles.
In the master's opinion the distance was only four miles,
or a little more, and accordingly he altered the course a
point and a half to the northward for an hour—a very
proper precaution. At 930 the course is altered to N.W.
W., and at 10 15 p.m. the light on Cape Levi is
sighted, bearing S. by E., at a supposed distance of nine to
ten miles. This nwr. W. course was steered till 11.40,
when the land was suddenly seen, and before the ship's
course could be altered or stopped, she went on the rocks
in the neighbourhood of Omonville, four to five miles to the
eastward of Cape La Hague. The passengers and crew
were all saved, but the vessel was much damaged, and the
cargo injured.

The fact of the ship going ashore in this unaccountable
manner, under no unfavourable state of weather or other
circumstances, necessarily induced an inquiry into the
cause of the loss, and upon that inquiry the accompanying
evidence has been taken. So far as the navigation of the
ship is concerned, we have the evidence of the first and
third mates, the quartermaster, and an able seaman, and
the master's own statement, all concurring in giving•the
lights and courses as stated in the ship's log, and which, if
correct, would undoubtedly have carried the ship
clear of all danger on this coast. But her going
ashore so entirely out of her supposed course leads
to. the conclusion that eau Quo Pau§t Lave been wino
