corning tho colision on tho seventh instant
chip Lady Octavin. declares that tho dIsaatar
was wholly duo 70 the nbsence of 2 proper
lookout On the Champion. Tho board is Of the
opinion that the fault rests mainly with r. II
Leonard. first mato OF tho Champion. and II he
had e,lrviyed his action should hnye boon, con-
damnca in sevcro terms The evi'ence shows
that II was the Lady o tava that rnn into he
Cham pion. but that under tho evidence the offi
cers OF the Octavia should be exonerated from
all tho blame.
Tho champion appears to have boon fully
aanippad with llfe-snving appliances. and tho
loss or life would not have been 50 serious had
the steamer kept af1oat n few minutes longer.
Credit IL given to the officers and crew of the
Lady Octavia for the prompt manner in which
they want to tho rescue Of the passengers and
crew of the wrecked steamer.
