Sir James Craig, who announced as stated above that the Admiralty had decided to build other tailers.

RETENTION OF ROSITE.

The debate was mainly carried on by the Dockyard members, supple mented by a couple of Admirals and a sprinkling of Navy officers. Lieut- Commander Kenworthy aired his views on nearly every vote.

Rear Admiral Sir W. Hall (warmly greeted on his recovery from illness). and Commander Bellairs, more practically critical, provoked a brisk speech from the First Lord, which indicated, rather than described, the Admiralty policy of the future. It is to be a policy of conservation, 25 opposed to expansion, apparently: but its precise military quality was discreetly left by Mr. Long in the hands of the Committee of Imperial Defence.

On one point, Mr. Long was emphatic in repelling suggestions of excessive expenditure, and that was in respect of the storage of oil fuel. "I am prepared to take my stand on the oil policy of the Admiralty," de clared Mr. Long "for it is the necessity of the moment." The Admiralty'e preparations, which involved the provision of oil depots at various points, costing £671,000, were thus defended. Not less vigorously vigorously, Mr. Long stood out for the retention of Rosyth.

The question of expenditure on Dockyards, he said. had been ex- haustively examined, and he did not think the amount could be reduced with safety. It was the duty of the coustry to maintain an efficient Navy, and it was not true economy to postpone expenditure.

THE COASTCUARD SERVICE. Rear Admiral Sir R. Hall (West Derby, C.U) urged the Committee to consider the Coastguard service as part of the sea services, and there: fore it should under the control of the Admiralty.

Commander Viscount Curzon (Bat tersea, S., C.U.) agreed with all that Admiral Hall had said with regard to the Coastguard Service. After giving instances of delays that bad taken place in that Service with regard to wrecks, be said that part of the difficulty had arisen through the division of coast watching between the Board of Trade and the Admiralty. He urged that the duties should be unified and placed under the sole control of the Admiralty. He hoped the Admiralty would stick to Port Edgar, which was one of the finest and best equipped stations of its sort. It admitted of destroyer flotillas being refilled at the maximun possible speed.". He would like to be, assured, however, that the Admiralty had been able to get over the difficulties connected with the silting up of the harbour,

The original programme included is proposal to, build an 'oil-tanker at Devonport, which otherwise would have had no bullding programme at all. But the member for Plymouth urged the claims of the Dockyard to greater recognition. Her appeal for the retention of a larger number of shipwrights could not have been entertained, except by extending the programme for the building of peace craft Dr Macnamara, then Ad- miralty representative, promised to do what he could, and the result was | now mide known by his successor,

for the big attempt which was to decide the fate of the steamer. Four ground tackles were laid with 6-inch wire cables and beavy blocks and luffs Ten 4-ton anchors were at the end of the cables, 3 at the ends of two of them and 2 at the ends of the others. After lying all winter on the shores of Sable Island it was!! natural that the steamer's engines would be badly in need of These were thoroughly repairs. overhauled and fitted out for opera- tion

All preparations having been com- pleted, the big attempt was finally made. The steamer "La Canadienne" stood outside with heavy cables reaching to the stranded vessel, exerting every ounce of her power: the winches worked with tremendous strength on the ground tacker and these were pulling the steamer stern Srst towards the sea. While these pulled, the repaired engines of the Platea" worked her propeller and cut away the sand. Thus with one power pulling and another cutting the workers were soon encouraged by a movement on the part of the stearer. Before the day was over she bad progressed 30 feet, and every day after, more progress followed.
