CAPTAIN PORTER
BLAMES MATE.

United States Local Inspectors Bolles
and Bulger held an investigation yes
terday into the grounding of the steam
ship Mongolia on coral reef at Mid
way Island September 10.
Captain W. P. S. Porter presented
the official chart used by him, showing
that the lead would not make any
sounding until five or six miles off
shore, and that from that point TO the
dry land there was q gradual slope.
He testified that when he saw light
on shore and judged that he was five
or six miles OIL shore, or where the
lead should strike bottom, he ordered
Chief Mate A. Martin to work the
sounding machine continuously and
slowed down to about three knots an
hour. The mate reported to him no
bottom at $50 fathoms. The chart
showed $50 fathoms seven or eight
miles from shore in the direction in
which they were going Later the
mate reported no bottom at $50
fathoms. On about the fifth throw of
the lead the mate reported bottom at
forty fathoms. Then the captain or
dered full speed astern, and just after
the mate reported bottom at seventeen
fathoms the vessel struck He then
told the mate that he (the mate) must
have been mistaken as to the sound
ings. The mates testimony as to the
soundings was the same.
Other witnesses were examined but
their testimony did not tend TO throw
any further light on the case. The
matter was taken under advisement
