Lord Pirrie died while on the voyage from Buenos Ayres to New York, states a London cable. He was chairman of the famous shipbuilding firm of Harland and Wolff. The first aerial mail from Sydney to Adelaide arrived aft;er being delayed by the bad weather. Brown, the cab-driver who was left a fortune of £60,000 by an aunt, died suddenly in a Dublin nursing home before he was able to enjoy his unexpected inheritance.

The American Congress on the last day of the session passed a special bill admitting the immigrants that were detained owing to a recent Supreme Court ruling, and the bill was subsequently signed by the President.

Lord Carson added: "I am sorry we have to go to Timbuctoo, or somewhere, to find a chairman for the Boundary Commission, but I do not envy him his job."
