Lady Annaly, and the Earl of Rosae, were driven into the street early on the morning of June 1st by a fire which broke out in a mur queo at a dance given by Mr. Bower Ismay at 25, Bruton-street, W. 9. No one was injured,

There they will be speedily trans- ferred to a stemmer which will go cut into the Atlantic and cink its cargo with all its dreadful potenti- alities of death and illness.

It is stated that a spot has been chosen where the Atlantic is about 8,000ft deep, and where the pre- sence of the gas will not endanger either shipping or fish supplies

Altogether there will be destroy ed by this method about 70 tons of phosgene (in liquid form), contain ed in two tanks and 8,000 steel floaks.

Mrs. Bower lamay, who is the widow of Captain C. Bower Ismay, has taken Sir, Basil Montgomery's house in Bruton street for the sea- son,

The dance was in honour of her Mias Del debutanto daughter, Ismay, and a marquee had been Lorected at the back of the house.
