§ SIR T. BRAMSDONasked the Secretary to the Admiralty if he is aware that His Majesty's tugs "Pert" and "Sprite" were employed on the salvage of steamship "Southpoint" and His Majesty's tugs "Swarthy" and "Grappler," and the dockyard salvage party on that of steamship "India," and that all were omitted from the awards made for the salvage of these two vessels; and whether claims can be preferred for the officers and men concerned?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe services rendered by His Majesty's tugs "Pert" and "Sprite," after the steamship "South-point" arrived at Portland, were not considered to justify a claim for salvage. In respect of the salvage of the steamship "India," the personal awards have been distributed as made by the arbitrator but the services of the other claimants will be-considered.
