H.M.S. "Egeria" and H.M.S. "Condor." (Hansard, 10 February 1902)

HC Deb 10 February 1902 vol 102 c855 855

§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILL
I beg to ask the Civil Lord of the Admiralty, whether the Admiralty have received any news, in confirmation, or otherwise, of the disaster which is reported to have happened to the "Egeria," which went out to search for the "Condor."

§ * THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. PRETYMAN, Suffolk,) Woodbridge
No, Sir, the Admiralty have no reason to suppose in any way that anything has happened to the "Egeria." She has been sent to search for the "Condor" and is not expected to be heard of for two or three weeks.
