§ SIR FREDERICK MILNERasked the Secretary to the Admiralty, What ships we have at Suakin fitted with the electric light, with a view to its being utilised to assist the outposts on dark nights against the stealthy attacks of the Arabs, who are making nightly raids on the camp, and have, on more than one occasion, inflicted injury on the troops; and, whether, on former occasions, the electric light has been found of the greatest use in protecting the outposts from attack?
§ SIR THOMAS BRASSEY,in reply, said, that some of the ships at Suakin were fitted with the electric light, and it had been in use for some time past.
