BELL OF THE VICTORY
RINGS FOR FIRST TIME IN CENTURY / , LONDON, March 32. After a silence of 122 years, when it did its part to bring success to the British navy at the battle of Trafalgar, the bell of Lord Nelson’s flagship Victory rang once again on Friday night in St. George’s Ilall, Liverpool. The bell was used to ring out the watches at an entertainment given for the benefit of seamen’s institutes under the auspices of the British steamship interests. In the past years, the ships’ bells of the famous sailing vessels Cutty Sark and H.M.S. Bombay have been used to record the passing of time as on shipboard, but tho hero’s bell was used for the first time by permission of the Admiralty.
