WW1 Seamans service record . Require your offers of help

[EXWORTHWADE]

Please assist if you can with my grandfathers older brothers ww1 record.
He survived the "war" only to have died in January 1919 after more than 10 years as a seaman.

What i am querying is in far right column:
1 what is a "c of e" thats being held? is it Court of Enquiry
2 the reference NL 4655/19 to a REPORT is this available for me to see now somewhere? or is it 100 year law prohibited
3 the word missing in the sentence i cant read ..."accidently drowned through the ***** of a collision on 26/1/1919

All further assistance on this would be most helpful. Incident took place on HMS GREENWICH / HMS TINTAGEL and is James Samuel Green no. 239935
I have copied a portion of the document only to show the source of the document no intention to defraud on copyright, purely as a family member of the deceased to obtain more info on behalf of his nephews etc.

Many Many thanks to anyone who takes time to read and indeed offers any help.

"accidently drowned through the result of a collision on 26/1/1919
"c of e"  is Court of Enquiry

According to this website:

http://www.naval-history.net/xDKCas1919a.htm

there was another casualty in the same incident - scroll down the page until you get to the right date.

thanks for your response . I was aware of the double tragedy .
I am now simply needing to know if an account is available for the incident via the court of enquiry as point 2  the reference NL 4655/19 to a REPORT is this available for me to see now somewhere? or is it 100 year law prohibited
.

I have no idea whether this will help - but the National Archives has the log book of the Tintagel for the relevant period:

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/displaycataloguedetails.asp?CATID=2125058&CATLN=6&Highlight=%2CTINTAGEL&accessmethod=0

It is not available online - so it's either a visit to Kew or a request for copies of the relevant pages - which as I understand it can be expensive and take a long time.

Alternatively you could appeal for anyone going to Kew who might have time to look for you,

My uncle John Slatter was the other man who drowned on 26th Jan 1919.  They were detailed to row an officer to shore but on their return encountered severe weather and both perished
