HC Deb 27 April 1875 vol 223 c1691
MR. GOSCHEN

wished to know, Whether the First Lord of the Admiralty has received any information as to the behaviour of the "Devastation" in her recent voyage?

MR. HUNT

I am not able, Sir, to say anything about the behaviour of the ship; but on the 23rd instant we received advices from Lisbon announcing that the Devastation and the Hercules arrived at Lisbon all well, and that they were to leave for Gibraltar on Sunday. We have since received a telegram from Gibraltar announcing the arrival of the ships, but with no particulars.
