managed. that she was leaky, and that
the boiler was not properly secured nor
the decks properly braced. and that she
was not fully manned and equipped. The
verdict blames the manager of the COM

steamer. and the Government Inspector.
The Captain and the manager have been
arrested for manslaughter. This looks
as if something might be done to punish
the men who are clearly guilty OF having
caused great loss of life.
