( informed, ba thoroughly investigated il Rp-
pears that the steamer blew her whistle as 9 sig

IErna 10 is certainly dus % the soldiers, to the
caus0, and 10 sil concerned, that this badly
Insnazed Adsir gnould be 5i1sd thoroughly and

the blame and the penalty should be visited
up1u tha Parry or parties who may bJ found re-
suonsibls Ter the disaster.
