Aluminous cement is so called because, in comparison with Port- land, it is very rick in alumina. It is correspondingly poor in lime and silica but usually contains more iron.

Beforo arriving at the above decision, the Procurator's Office held full con- sultations with the Foreign Office and the Department of Communica- tians.

These three Russian whalers, to- gether with another and much big- ger one, were. sent from Russia via Suez in order to engage in large

The decision of the Procurator's Office is said to be based on the following fauts-

2-The captains of these, vosscla ought to have been well aware that the port and neighbourhood is a for- tiled zone, and that the port is not opon.
