§ 105. Mr. T. M. HEALYasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in May last, a torpedoed ship containing about 1,500 tons of wheat was brought into Bantry Bay, and when the owners could not get their price for the cargo the sacks of wheat were deliberately thrown into the sea; whether boatmen and others begged those engaged in destroying a valuable food to cast the sacks into their boats or allow them to be landed, and that these requests were refused; and why did the representatives of the Admiralty on the spot tolerate such destruction?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAWe have no information respecting the matters referred to in this question, but we are communicating with the Vice-Admiral Commanding at Queenstown.
