§ GENERAL BUCKLEYsaid, he rose to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, The reason why Captain Grant's Cooking Apparatus, sufficient for 5,000 men, which was sent to China in the Royal Adelaide transport, 3,000 tons, was not landed, though written applications were made for that purpose by the Officer commanding; and whether the transport has not returned to England without having broken hulk?
MR. T. G. BARINGsaid, he was unable to give the hon. and gallant officer any answer at present respecting Captain Grant's Cooking Apparatus. With respect to the Royal Adelaide transport, he believed she had not yet been reported, though he understood that she had broken bulk.
