§ 35. Mr. CROOKSasked the President of the Board of Trade whether any report 543 was made or inquiry held into the case of Guy Carrs, a seaman who was lost overboard from the steamship "Nicoya," on her voyage home from the West Indies in October or November, 1912?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Buxton)An inquiry into the death of Guy Caws, apprentice on board the steamship "Nicoya," of Glasgow, was held under the provisions of Section 690 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, by the deputy-superintendent in charge of the Mercantile Marine Office at Garston, Liverpool, on the arrival of the vessel. It appeared from the evidence taken that Caws accidentally fell overboard at sea and was drowned on 4th November, 1912. All possible efforts seem to have been made to rescue him.
