net-’lect in performing his duty
at C. X. O. in not taking proper

in not keeping himself fully ac-

giilations by the pilots_ we ham
to report that the evidence is
far from satisfactory that he

bring to the notice of the Cap-
illlli Superintendent neglect on

hi view of the allegations of din-
olledierlce of the C.X.0.’s orders
by pilots we do not consider
such <liso'bedlen<-.e -was the »prc>
xlmate cause of the collision.,
'lt would seem that'the pilots/of
Halifax attempt to vary the__wgl|
known Rules of the Road, and in
this connection we think Pildt

can tramp steamer on the morn-
ing of tho collision. deserving of
censure.
ill. Tliat_the regulations governing
the trafhc ln Halifax Harbor in
force since the war were pre-
D&l‘€‘li by the competent Naval
authorities; that such traflic ro-
