HC Deb 15 April 1889 vol 335 c488
ADMIRAL MAYNE (Pembroke and Haverfordwest)

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he had received any report on the stability or seaworthiness of H.M.S. Cossack, recently arrived at Zanzibar; and, if not, whether he will ask for a report from the captain of the ship?

*THE SECRETARY To THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. FORWOOD,) Lancashire, S.W., Ormskirk

On behalf of my noble Friend I have to say that the subject of the stability and seaworthiness of the Cossack has not been referred to in any of the reports that have reached the Admiralty, either from the ship herself or from the Admiral under whose orders she is serving, since her arrival at Zanzibar.
