TROUBLE ON WARSHIP
(Briti^i Offlcial Wireless.)
Three Officers Relieved of Appointments A FEW RATINGS DISMISSED
(Eeceived 26, 12.30 p.m.) EUGBY, Aug. 25. The report of the Court of Inquiry into the misunderstanding wliich arosein June last with reference to week-end loave from the battleship Warspite indicates that the discipline of certain ratings on that occasion was unsatisfactory. It also shows that the handling of tho situation was not entirely satisfactory. The Admiralty has issued orders for the removal of ratings numbering not more than nine or ten from that ship to other ships and also has given instructions for two or three men to be dismissed from the Navy, their services being no longer required. Further, the Admiralty has dccided that it is necessary to relieve from appointment three officers of the ship. Discipline on the Warspite is now entirely satisfactory.
