§ Sir CLEMENT KINLOCH-COOKE(by Private Notice) asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is in a position to give the House any information concerning the British steamer "Eastway" of Cardiff, struck by the hurricane off the Bermudas, and can he give the names of the officers and crew known to be saved?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister)I greatly regret the occurrence of this casualty, and am afraid that a considerable loss of life has taken place. I have asked the owners of the "Eastway" by telegram to let me have any further information they may obtain, and on receiving their report I will immediately communicate it to my hon. Friend.
