THE OLYMPIC
THE TROUBLE OVER THE LIFEBOATS. Press Association.—Telegraph.—Copyright LONDON, May 7. Lord Mersey’s assessors visited the Olympic and saw the boats lowered.

The Olympic had to abandon a voyage owing to the stokers striking against the use of collapsible boats in place of ordinary lifeboats.
