Never in Parallel Courses.

The explanation of the Olympic's posi-
ton was that she .took too wide a sweep
round the West Bramble buoy. The evil
dence had established the fact that the
vessels were never on parallel courses.
He thought that the Olympic, having the
Hawke on her starboard side, ought to
have got out of the Hawkes. way. The
Hawke was never the overtaking vessel.
If any vessel was overtaking another it
was the Olympic. The vessels, however,
were really crossing each others course.
and the collision was solely due to the
faulty navigation Of the Olyrnpics pilot.

RULING OF THE ADMIRALTY
Accident OFF Coast Of Isle of Wight
September 20.
'TH VESSELS DAMAGED
BOTH
Contact Declared to Be Solely Due
to Faulty Navigation of
Olympic Pilot.

LONDON, December 19-The admiralty
court today found that the White Star
line steamship Olympic was responsible
for the collision with the British pro-
tected cruiser Hawke, near Osborne bay,
on the north side Of the Isle Of Wight
September 20 last
While the Judgment Of the court finds
against the owners Of the Olympic on all
the points raised at the trial, and the de-
cfsion is given for Commander William
F. Blunt Of the Hawke. with costs in the
suit brought against him by the owners
Of the liner. the cross-suit brought by
the admiralty against the owners of the
Olympic failed on the defense raised by
them Of compulsory plotting. The liner
was in charge Of pilot at the time of
the collision, and this is compulsory on
all vessels sailing at that part of the
British coast.
In the cross-suit brought by the ad-
miralty each side has to pay it's own
costs. and the effect of the decision II
that neither side is mulcted in damages.
Accepts Blunt's Theory.
Sir Samuel Thomas Evans, president
of the probate, divorce and admiralty
division Of the high court of justice, who
gave Judgment accepted the theory OF
suction advanced by the commander of
the Hawke, on which point Naval Con-
structor David W. Taylor of the United
States Navy testified for the admiralty.
The judge expressed himself as salts
fed that the Hawke did not starboard
her helm as alleged. The cause of the
collision was that the liner Olympic
came too close to the cruiser Hawke.
Sir Samuel Evans also decided that the
place Of the collision as given by the
Hawkes. witnesses was correct; that the
speed of the Olympic at the time of the
collision and for a few minutes pre-
ceding it was greater than had been
stated by her witnesses, and that the
Hawkes. speed at the time of the COILS
sion and for some time before was about
fifteen knots. The Olympics course, the
than had been stated in evidence. while
the Hawkes. course was such as had
been stated by Commander Blunt.
