HC Deb 14 June 1877 vol 234 c1779
LORD ESLINGTON

asked the President of the Board of Trade, If the Egyptian Government has rewarded the crews of two English ships for gallantly assisting an Egyptian corvette in distress ?

SIR CHARLES ADDERLEY,

in reply, said, that the Egyptian Government had placed in the hands of the Board of Trade the sum of £200 for the crews of the English ships Agra and Myra, in acknowledgment of assistance rendered to the Egyptian corvette Latief when on fire, on the 10th of March last, 50 miles off Suez; and he understood that they purposed some further reward to the officers.
