'A Naval Tragedy Tt is most regrettable to have] to record that an officer and five] men of the Royal Fleet auxiliary; ship Bacchus, of 2,000 tons, which arrived in the Medway from the Mediterranean on Thursday with stores and ammunition, were drowned in a collision in the Medway early on Tuesday. A motor-boat' containing an officer and 10 men who were returning from leave, left Chatham shortly before midnight. As they approached the Bacchus, which was some little distance from the shore, the coxswain had to clear: barge, the Alpha, of Rochester, which was taking a zig-zag course. As the boat passed in front of the barge the motor-lighter Flame loomed directly ahead, and the two boats Jcame into collision. The following are missing, believed to be dre Sed Officer V.

Wireless Operator C. Stone-house.
Able Seamon C. Chinn and Hi.

As illustrating the point lof view of the LIP. on trade T may mention that another resolution declaring opposition both to Free Trade and Protection, and advocating the establishment of a National Board of Imports for the regula ton of trade in conjunction with national ownership of key indust and other social and economic me sures, was adopted.

To hear these educationalists talk one would almost imagine that the State! the ship was under direct control; and I should like to contradict the reports that we sent out an 8.0.5. Not one did we send. The story that we signalled that we were distress may have arisen from the fect that I attempted to signal to a tramp steamer to ask her for my exact position. I thought it was a Dutch boat and tried to get in touch with her by flashing a lighted lamp. As it happened, however, it was @ Japanese ship and she probably did not understand. Our only difficulty was that we could only fly the airship at a certain ed, but in the circumstances sh.
