§ COLONEL LOCKWOOD (Essex, Epping)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether he is in a position to state if, at the time or since the wreck of the Indian troopship Warren Hastings, which occurred on the 384 14th January, 1897, on the Island of Reunion, with Headquarters 1st Battalion King's Royal Rifles and half a Battalion York and Lancaster Regiment on board, any of the officers' and men's baggage, men's property, etc., was saved?
§ MR. BRODRICKIt is known that a small quantity of cabin baggage was saved from the troopship Warren Hastings, and it is hoped that more baggage and the regimental plate may yet be recovered.
§ MR. PERCY THORNTON (Clapham)asked what had become of the crew?
§ MR. BRODRICKthought that the crew were on the Island of Reunion. He believed that all were saved but two natives.
