§ Sir B. SHEFFIELDasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if it has been definitely ascertained how and when the members of the Wrangel Island expedition met their end; and whether any steps are proposed to be taken with a view to recognising their services to the Empire?
Mr. THOMASNo particulars are in my possession beyond those which have appeared in the Press. So far as I am aware no steps in the direction suggested in the second part of the question are in contemplation.
