RYDE, Isle OF Wight, Aug 49,
The inquest was held to-day upon
the remains OF Baron Moritz Curt
Won Zedwitz, the German yachts
man killed yesterday in collision
between Emperor Williams yacht
Meteor aud Zedwitz's yacht Isolde.
The commander of the Britannia
expressed the opinion that the
Meteor ought to have given the
Isolde wider berth and thought
there had been an error in judge
ment. Captain Gomez Of the Meteor
denied having iniripged the rules.
He said there would have been
plenty OF room to pass had not the
Saint struck the Isolde and showed
the latter out OF her course aud
across that OF the Meteor. The
collision with the Isolde could not
be avoided, except by colliding with
the Britannia, which, he explained,
would have resulted in far more
serious smash-up. The jury render
ed a verdict OF nobody to blame.
