Mr. PERKINS

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty at what date did H.M.S. "Proserpine" leave Aden on her homeward voyage; when did she reach Suez; how long has she been detained there; and the reason for such detention?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The "Proserpine" left Aden on the 7th July, reached Port Said on the 16th July, and was detained there for thirteen days owing to boiler defects.
