AN UNPARDONABLE 1111sTAxiii.---Another India-
man, the Nabob, has been lost coining up Channel.
having steered her course to the French coast while
imagining herself on the English, and having been full
fifty miles to the southward of her course. Complaint
is made that there was no light to correct her mistake
on the Jersey coast. A skilful, active, prudent master
would not have wanted any light to warn him of the
error, which he would have detected by his lead line.
There can be no mistake about the soundings on the
English and the French °oast. The French soundings
speak French as plainly as the people, and the English
soundings speak English no less unequivocally. A bit
of grease at the bottom of the lead brings to the eye of
the experienced and skilful master the information
whether he is on the English or the French coast. But
to take casts of the lead the ship must be hove too, and
time must be lost, and the éclat with it of a floe run up
Channel, so the loss of the ship is often preferred, and
a run to destruction. Again lot us point out the fitness
of courts of inquiry for wrecks in the merchant service.
