According to the story the steamers hoisted Norwegian colours."Undoubtedly," the "Gazette" remarks, “this re- port is apoaryphal. Not withstanding the fact that the "Gazette has examined the shipping list, it has been unable Leave Hongkong to find that the said number of Norwegian steamers was at any moment in the war present at Vera Cruz. If six steamers really left harbour simultaneously fiying the Norwegian flag, it is obvious that they were false colours. We affirm that Norwegian shipping everywhere is rigorously control- led to avoid anything in the nature of an offence against neutrality taking place. We are confident that Norwegian ahips are not guilty of transporting necessaries to belligerents.

In times of pease their politicians grudged the expendi ture on warships, and brought forward many schemes for spend ing their money to better advant age. But now the Little Navy parly was non-existent Had their policy been followed, what would have been the posi- tion of the country.? Their ships would have ceased to sail the seas they would have been laid up in neutral ports to avoid cap- tare, Foodstuffs and raw mate- frisl would not have resobed our shores and the country would have been starving. Thanks to our strong Navy, it was the Ger man and Austrian ships that were. laid up. Our shipa held the s997. Oyster, Fresh, Fried or sewed Findon Haddocks, Kippera &zo 2
