§ 4. Lord C. BERESFORDasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the Houlder Line steamship "La Correntina," which was sunk by the "Kronprinz Wilhelm," was armed for purposes of self defence; and whether, although she was armed with 4.7-inch guns, she had no ammunition on board?
§ 6. Sir C. KINLOCH - COOKEasked whether the "Karlsruhe" ran into the British steamer "La Correntina," which was armed but without ammunition; and can he say whether she was one of the ships taken over by the Admiralty, or explain the reason why, seeing that the ship was armed with two 3-inch guns, no ammunition was on board?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe carrying of ammunition before the war by merchant ships armed in self defence raised a good 698 many difficult questions which were being gradually adjusted. In a few cases the supply had not been actually placed on board. The "Correntina" was one of these.
