ADMIRALTY DIVISION.

Before Mr. Justice Langton, sitting with Captain A. R. H. Morrell and Captain W. E. Crumplin, Elder Brethren of Trinity House.

Collision between steamships Eirini N. Rallia and Eumaeus in Crosby Channel, River Mersey, in fog - Eirini N. Rallia inward bound; Eumaeus outward bound - Dispute as to place of collision, visibility, courses, look-out and speeds - Unreliable evidence - Held, that both vessels were proceeding in mid-channel at excessive speed; that the Eirini N. Rallia had a good look-out and heard the signals of the Eumaeus ahead, that she was negligent in failing to stop, but that she took the right action in porting when the Eumaeus came in sight; that the Eumaeus had a bad look-out and failed to hear the signals of the Eirini N. Rallia ahead, and that she took the wrong action in starboarding when the Eirini N. Rallia came in sight - Both found to blame -Apportionment: Eirini N. Rallia, one-third; Eumaeus, two-thirds.
