A rerious flaw In the Navy's moblimation plans Win revented during the recent emergency. As the defect could easily be remedied it is in the publle inicrest that the facis should be made known.
The first stage of the moblaniion, In which the ninin Fleet was brought strength in personnel, up to War pamed off smoothly enatigh, It was à very different matter when it came to providing officers for the Reserve. Fleet and second-line ships in gen- erat.
Ilundreds of retired naval officers were called up or offered their ser- Vlees. Retired executives of Lieut.. Commander rank are liable to recall up to the age of 80, and Commanders Atp to 05.
It appears, however, that no record is kept of their past ser- vices, state of physical Atness, or activities since retirement.
As the emergency proved, the luevitable result is that on rejoining the Service many are appointed to posts for which they, are unsulted, or where their spectaí qualifications are wasted. The following are two examples out of the many brought to my notice:
Aleut,-commander who retired in 1927 has followed the sea prac- tically ever since, first as master of an of tanker and later as an offesai in the whaling industry in the Pacific and Antarctic. On reporting to the Admiralty for war service he was appointed to an office on shore.
SECOND APPOINTMENT
He drew nilention to his special fitness for sea service, but was told
Investigations were started in Marsellies, France, after a mysterious explosion aboard the British ship Stanburgh set fire to the ship, off the French town of Sele, and sent her to the bottom. Crew of French lighter alongside was loading oil when the explosion occurred, and some were in- jured. Above, the ship burning furiously.

Truant Boy Fell 70ft. To Death In Shaft
A seven-year-old boy who was killed by falling down a disused mine shaft at St. Just, Cornwall, was stated at the inquest recently to have been playing truant from school.
Search parties found him after hearing moans from the shaft. He was seen on a ledge a few feet below the surface, but before he could be rescued he fell a further 70ft., and was dead when reached.
The boy, Ronald Matthews Carbis, of Bostuswell, Pendeen, St. Just, was the son of a miner, and his body was recovered by another miner, Edgar Jenkins, of Camborne, who was lovered by a windlass down the shaft. "VERY NOBLE EFFORT" Jenkins said he found the boy on rock with a ladder resting on Els head. He was dead.
The coronet, recording a verdict of "Aceldental death," praised the efforts of the searchers and Jenkins for his very noble effort in descending the shaft, which was unknown to him."
"It calls for my admiration." sald
the coroner.
