ADMIRAL BACK
IN HONGKONG II.M.S. Cumberland made fast
AFTER a five weeks' stay in Singapore, during which alongside the Naval Dock wird war
she participated in the combined exercises and had her hull scraped in the Naval Base floating dock, the 10,000-ton cruiser Dorsetshire, of the China Squadron, has left Singapore for Sydney.--
It is suggested in Australia that Dorsetshire's visit has been arranged partly with the aim of soothing the Commonwealth, much disappointment having been felt there owing to absence of any large British naval vessel at the 150th. Anniversary celebrations which started in Sydney on January 26.
Although Raly sent her crack cruiser Raimondo Montecucoli, the United States sent the four cruisers
Louisville, Trenton, Milwaukes and Naval Building
Memphils, Holland sent the runboat Flores and a cruiser attended from New Zealand, there was no repre- sentive from the China or Eust Indies Squadrons.
The most likely reason for the fact that British naval vessels could not attend was the situation in China and the holding of the combined exercises at Singapore,
The visit of Dorsetshire probably will cause much satisfaction in Aus- tralian official circles,
AT SYDNEY IN MONTH
The cruiser will reach Darwin, Northern Territory of Australlia, on March 14 and will remain there until March 20, Dorsetshiro will | visit Thursday Island for a day, and will arrive in Sydney on April 2.
