GERMAN RADIO ERROR
REPORT OF LINER FIRE CONFUSED WITH WRECK (Reed. Dec. 23, 9 a.m.) SYDNEY, Dec. 22. The Australian Minister of the Navy, Mr. W. M. Hughes, ridiculed the German radio report from New York concerning a fire on the Arundel Castle, which was stated ‘‘suddenly to have caught fire off Barvun Reef, New South Wales.” Mr. Hughes said the report obviously was confused with the recent fire aboard the stranded steamer Orungal, which ran on a reef at Barwon Heads, off the Victorian coast. The Arundel Castle, he added, had never visited Australian waters.
