("Continued from page 4) "I can only account for the terrible. accident through unconsciously pull- ing the trigger owing to my bad state of nerves caused by the repeat ed attempts of these burglars. I had not the slightest idea that these men were detectives, nor had any in- formation been given to me or any of the residents of the terrace that these detectives were about. Had I known they were detectives I would have gone out and helped them in their work if necessary."

THE CUNARD FLEET.

TYRRHENIA CHRISTENED,

To meet post-war requirements the Canard Company are rapidly adding to their fleet of ocean-going vessels, and on the Clyde, another steamer, the "Tyrrhenia," was christened by Lady Beardmore at the Dalmuir Yard, where it has been built by Messrs. Willam Beardmore and Co. It had been intended to launch the ship, but the somewhat boisterous weather which prevailed made that course dangerous. Accordingly she did not take the water, but if better con- disons prevail will soon be slid off the ways.
