the language of the Lascara. Replying to the Solicitor General Sir T. Notley did not think the Company would be better off if it had a regular language test for officers. He agreed that Lascars in an emergency required good leading and the safety of the ship very greatly depended on the Lascata being well led. He believed one or two officers had been discharged since the sinking of the "Egypt." The discipline, sa deskribed, was bad but it was' difficult to believe all the evidence. He was of the opin ion that owing to the sudderness of the collision and the enormons list the disciplino in the majority of the crew! broke down. The Company had not held an inquiry io connection with the case. It never had bad such at case before. Replying to Mr. Bucknil for the Indis Office on behalf of Indian members of the crew Sir F. Notley said the Lascars had performed invaluable ser- vice during the war and had behaved well during sub- marine attacks. He was of opinion that P. and O. dis cipline would stand comparison with any service in the world. The enquiry was adjourned.
