§ CAPTAIN PIMasked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether, taking into consideration the many casualties which have resulted to Her Majesty's ships, either from default or through insufficiency of Navy cables, the "Admiralty and Rodger" anchors, he has satisfied himself as to the trustworthy character and thorough efficiency of the ground-tackle provided for the use of the Royal yacht "Victoria and Albert," now refitting, and about to proceed to sea with Her Majesty on board?
§ MR. HUNTSir, I have had a report from Portsmouth that the ground-tackle 563 of the Royal yacht is in a satisfactory state. The cables were surveyed in December, 1875, and the anchors went through the fire proof a year ago.
