THE NARRUNG SCARE
IS SHE TOP-HEAVY? Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright, LONDON, January 2. (Received January 3, at 10.55 a.m.) Replying to Mr Farrell, M.P. (who asked in the House of Commons whether, in view of her having taken a dangerous list in the Indian Ocean, the Board of Trade intended to allow the s.s. Naming to campassengers to Australia), Mr Robertson (Parliamentary Under-Secretary to the Board of Trade), on behalf of the Government, said that her captain stated the Aarrung to be a splendid ship. She was not a sister ship to the Waratah. After she had been repaired, he saw no reason why she should not carry passengers to Australia. Mr Farrell offered to produce confidential documents relating to the Narrung's alleged unseaworthiness, and Mr Robertson promised to peruse them.
