Two men were killed and four Injured by an explosion at the naval ordnance depot at Pillau, near Konigsberg. The men were loading high explosives for a coastal battery when fire broke out and reached the explosives before it could be extinguished. One building of the depot was destroyed. In the first year of the company’s existence, 14 years ago, aeroplanes of Imperial Airways carried less than three tons of letter mail; last year the machines carried 700 tons of letters.
