We believe that the water leaked in
through a hole, stove in tho bottom
from sonie unknown cause: We sup-
pose that this injury •was caused by
coming in.contakt.with a stone or snag
in the river. We. arepalso convinced
bora. the evidence adduced that the
boiler was not securely fastened, and
'that the , stanchions supporting the
promenades and hurricane decks were
of too slender a nature, and made.
chiefly of pine and not properly braced.
We.are of the opinion that the engin-
first number of the Goderich News pub- • eer was 'guilty of great negligence in
the discharge of hisduty in not seeing
that the hold was clear of water, and
in not•conveying in person to the cap-
tain information of the dangerous on-
dition of the boat. We think that the
