(Received February 23, at 12.30 p.m.) Tho Court of Inquiry found that tho direct cause of tho loss of the Rrincipessa Mafalda was that the left propeller shaft fell away, causing an unstoppable leak, because it was impossible to close one of the small communication portals.

The ship carried 1,600 passengers, many being emigrants for the Argentine, and there was a heavy loss of life.]
