Force of a Torpedo. Some idea of the foros of a torpedo was supplied in the Admiralty Court on December 6 by Mr. Justice Hill in awarding | £8,450 to a number of vessels for salving the new a. Woodfield. The steamer is worth £160,000.. and she was torpedoed on her malden / voyage in the English Channel and beached at New haven' after services by a torpedo boat, an armed trawler, two, tugs and other craft. “The damage was extraordinary," "said the judge: The torpedo passed right through the veel from port to starboard, making a hole 40ft. long, bending out the plates aixfeet, and making other holes, from which the ship must have sunk had not the salvage services. been promptly rendered." His lordship decided that -£7,730 should be divided between the two tugs Alert and Joffre: Lieu- tenant Macmillan, of Torpedo-{ boat 5, would be given £100, Lieutenant Barclay £53, the crew £350, mad the armed trawler- Glenboyne £200.

Cargo Lost in Missing Ships. As there has been a certain amount of criticism respecting: delays in the settlement of war- risk claims on cargo and of claims on account of cargo in missing ships, says "The Times. it is satisfactory to be able to record a recent case in which vers prompt-payments were made. A vessel which disappeared without trace while osrrying cargo worth over £150,000 was duly posted at Lloyd's and within ten days of the documents in London the underwriters of the marine risks and the State War Risks Office had agreed each to pay; without prejuice, 50 per cent, of the amount insured. The object was, of course, to provide the assured. with funds immediately, and to relieve them of any financial embarr someut while investiga- tions into the circumstances of the loss were being made. The willingness to make these prompt payments may be regarded as typical of the desire of both the general body of marine under-· writers and the State War Risks Office to facilitate matters for merchants in the case of missing ships. The pressure of work on the State Office has at times been very great indeed, but it fe understood that as regards ordinary war risk losses, its settlements have now been brought very nearly up to date. ~ Enormous US.A. Shipbuilding Contracts.

The Shipping Board (says a Reuter's Washington telegram) announces that contracte have..... been entered into for tonnage exceeding 4,000,000 tons; compris ing 345 steel, 58 composite, and 375 wooden vessels.
