RISKED SUBMARINES
TO HELP SHIP
An award of £ 1,500 to the Ellerman liner Algerian, in the Admiralty Court for services ren- dered to the steamer Mari Chan- dris, brought up to £6,500 the salvage awards for helping this ship after her collision last June. In November, Mr. Justice Buck- nill had awarded £5,000 to salvors to whom the Algerian handed her
over.
Mr. Justice Langton said that the Mari Chandris had a large hole in her side when the Algerian towed her forty-five miles towards Falmouth, and that service was a good one, because It was in an area which at the time was re- garded as a happy hunting ground for German submarines.
