Salvage Operations
(British Officio' 1 Wireless) (Received 3.0 p.m.)' RUGBY, July 3. A statement issued in Liverpool on the Thetis salvage operations says that no work was possible over the week-end, owing to strong winds and rough seas. This morning the wind was a light westerly, and the lifting craft Zelo was moored over the wreck by the salvage steamer Ranger. In answer to a question in the House of Commons to-day, the Parliamentary Secretary for the Admiralty, Mr Geoffrey Shakespeare, said that operations would commence as soon as the weather became favourable.
M. Bonnet, French Foreign Minister, conferred with the French Ambassador to Turkey, and discussed Turkey’s plans to transit warships through the Dardanelles in the event of a naval conflict. It is understood those are completely satisfactory to Britain and France.
