London, Oct. 28th.-A second court
martial, arising from the strandlng OF

yesterday on Captain Bromley, charged
with negligently or by default having
stranded and lost his ship. 1t is alleged
that the accused was to blame for main
tanning a speed of twelve knots under
the weather conditions then prevailing
and for not causing sOundingS to be com
menced sooner. Captain Bromley plead
ed not guilty. The result of the findings
of the court martial was that he be rep
rimanded and dismissed from his position
in the service. The defendant submitted
that had amour and ferrol points been
correctly charted the Raleigh would not
have past 3.9 cables to the westward of
