SHIP THAT WAS FORGOTTEN.

Miss Carstair's Bid for... River Clyde that Won World's Record. Fame in the Dardanelles

Under the heading "Segrave's, Speed Rival" the Daily Express in mail week-before Sir H. Segrave's eDath-published the following article by its motoring

Mr. correspondent,

Harold Pemberton.

Cowes, 1.0.W.

Fifteen years ago, when the gallant attempt of those on board the steamer River Clyde to land on the Gallipoli const was the admiration of the whole world, the unassuming cargo steamer was described as "the, Ship of Undying Memory."

CUTTY SARK FOR THE SEA AGAIN.

London, June 22, Sails are being made for the famous clipper Cutty Sark which is now serving as a training ship at Falmouth.

This is Miss Carstair's last big water adventure. As she sat in the stern of Estelle IV., peering through a forest of stack pipes rising from two 300 h.p. engines, she explained rather sadly that her hobby was costing too much. Her attempts to win back covet- ed records from the United States of America in British boats must have cost her already more than £100,000. And about £25,000 worth of motor-boats were stored in the little shipyard...

She is all the more determined, in view of her retirement, to make one great final bid for the world's record and the trophy, and I imagine that Sir Henry is go- ing to have a worthy rival.

Constant Target. The breakdown of the floating bridge prevented the scheme be- ing carried out in its entirety, but there was no minimising the gal lantry with which the attempt was made, and Commander Unwin, among others, won his Victoria Cross for it.

All through the Dardanelles ex pedition she remained in position, welcome shade to tired troops but a constant target for the enemy.
