§ 12. Sir ROBERT HAMILTONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the success attending the operations to remove the blockship "Numi-dian" from Holm Sound, Scapa Flow, it is now intended to extend similar operations to the "Lorne" in Water Sound, or other blockships in those waters'?
§ Commander EYRES-MONSELLInvestigation of the results so far achieved is about to be made on the spot; and the question of dealing with other sunken vessels will not be considered until an official report of the success of the "Numidian" operations has been received, as was. indicated in my reply of the 25th April last.
§ Mr. MACPHERSONCan the right hon. Gentleman give any information as to the proposed salvage of the "Natal" at Invergordon?
§ Commander EYRES-MONSELLI am afraid that hardly arises out of the question on the paper.
