The 1’nited States Naval Court held at Yokohama to investigate the Oneida disas ter lias rendered an opinion of which the following is the principal part. After describing the position of the Oneida the court says: About the time the Engling Peninsular and Oriental Co.'s steamship Bombay, Captain Eyre, hove in sight around Kana waski point, and to the eastward of it, distant from the Oneida about live or six miles, and bearing ahead, then rapidly passing on to the Oneida’s starboard how. The Oneida's lookout and navigator made out tlie mast head and starboard, or green light, of the Bombay, and they saw the Bombay pass from’the eastward to the westward of Kanawsaki light, and her course was narrowly observed by the offi cer on duty and by the lookout of the Oneida, and she was seen passing clear and giving her a wide berth; that after running some fifteen or twenty minutes, rapidly changing her bearings ntore and more broad—about four to live points or more—on the starboard bow of the Oneida and while the Oneida’s lights were bright ly burning, the Bombay suddenly ported her helm, and came directly at. the Oneida in the direction of her green light, and struck her at the starboard mizzen rigging, at about eight knots’ speed, cutting away all her starboard quarter at an angle of forty-live degrees, and on a line from the main rigging to the wheel and to the star board side of the combings of the cabin hatch, thence clear to her rudder head down to the water’s edge; that the Oneida had her whole wheel carried away, that rounded to port and stood in toward the shoal in an east by north direction, and sunk in twenty fathoms of water in about twelve to fifteen minutes after, carrying down with her some one hundred and ftf I teen of her officers and men. It appears tully trom the evidence that the Oneida at no time saw the red light, hut constantly saw the green light of the Bombay, and that her own lights were property placed in full burning order. It also appeal's that the officers and crew acted with calmness and discipline, and at no time were in doubt or hesitation, but when the Bombay was about live points on the Oneida's starboard bow, or three points forward of her starboard beam, the Bombay put her helm hard a-port and went din etly at the Oneida, when the lat ter vessel at once (lung her own helm hard a-starboard, and it was in that position and the ship rapidly paying off to port when the Bombay struck her. At this time the Oneida headed as high as east by north, and the Bombay headed northeast. It is also shown that after the collision the executive offcer of .the Oneida, Lieut. Commander Stewart, hailed the Bombay several times, calling to her to layby, as the Oneida was cut down, and this when the Bombay was within a few yards of the Oneida's stern; that this call was un answered and unheeded; that three or four big guns were tired from the Oneida as signals of distress, with the full service charge of six pounds of powder; and that these signals, were also unheeded. It was also shown that at the moment of the collision the Bombay stopped her engines for a very few moments, but she did not once lose her headway; but crush ing through the quarter of the Oneida, and making the breach so wide that the per sons in her cabin looked out into the open sea through a space of from fifteen to twen ty feet or more. The Bombay kept on her way direct; that she passed out of sight of the officers and men who were hailing and looking at her for five or ten minutes, and anchored safely in Yokohama harbor at 7.11* P. M. of the same evening; that the Bombay neither offered nor asked for assistance, or communicated after the col lision. The Court therefore totally exonerates and exculpates the Oneida and her of ficers from all and any blame for this hor rible disaster, and hud that they acted promptly; that the Oneida was skillfully handled* and that the international rules of the road were carefully and intelligent ly obeyed. The Court at this point observes, how ever, with deep pain, that the Oneida had lost her gig by the colission ; that the din gy boat bad been broken in some time be fore her sailing, and that during a tvphoon some months previous she had lost her two largest and most servieable boats, thus leaving her in the hour of supreme dis tress with but two boats to save her peo ple. Had the Oneida replaced her boats and gone to sea with a full complement of them, it is morally certain that many more \aluablc lives would have been saved. The Court censures in the severest terms the navigation of the Bombay, and say that her crossing so far over to the eastern shore, with the green light ot the Oneida in full view, as it must have been, is an action so extraordinary as to stagger com mon sense of safety and duty, to say noth ing of the regulations and seamanlike knowledge. A line due south by east, quarter cast, drawn through Saratoga Spit buoy, and another at a point to the west ward of Kanawsaki light, in a direction north by west, half west, after rounding the light, which is the pilot course, shows how improbable it was for the Bombay to have collided with the Oneida, unless, in deed, she ran directly at the latter’s green light, as several witnesses testify she did. The cause of the collision, then, is alto gether and entirely due to the Bombay, whose commanding officer is to blame be yond excuse. Again, me conduct oi tnc uomoay alter '■ the collision, in passing on out oi’ sight ■ and not communicating w ith the Oneida, i in disregarding the loud hails of the ex ! ceutive officer of the Oneida, disregarding tin* signal of her steam whistle, which ! kept blowing until she sank, and finally not hearing, or, if she heard, not replying to three or four heavy signal guns from the l ineida, although they were distinctly heard in Yokohama, at a distance of over nine . miles, is so guilty and blamable that this Court can only speak of it as unparalleled I in cruelty. i Finally, from the et idence adduced and
