§ MR. W. H. SMITHBefore the House adjourns, I think it would be agreeable to the House that I should state that Her Majesty desires to express Her deep sympathy with the House in the great calamity that has fallen upon the Navy and upon this country in the loss of the Eurydice, and She has telegraphed to me in these words—
The Queen would wish. Mr. Smith to make known Her grief at the terrible calamity of the Eurydice, and Her heart-felt sympathy with the afflicted parents and relatives.I am sure the whole country will mourn with Her Majesty at the great loss which the country has sustained, and which Her Majesty has sustained, in the loss of so many devoted servants.
