The heavy rain of yesterday caused a slight landslide during the morning at Belcher Street, in the Kennedy Town district. Little or no damage was done, except that small piece of rock fell into a Sanitary Department car, but did not strike the driver.

It is generally believed that the six British carriers have a combined capacity of at least one hundred and sixty tying machines. The Hermes, which was laid down in January, 1918, was the first ship.

Moreover, the British Admiralty seem to say "Don't pat all A. S. WATSON of your eggs in one basket." The loss
