made public yesterday by the local
board OF Steamboat inspectors. Cap
tain Watkins make no attempt to evade
responsibility for the accident, but says
frankly that the stranding of the ship

error on his part The accident, he
says, was not due to any want oil
thought or anxiety about his vessel.

and only had their masters license
suspended for six months or year at
