HOOD “MUTINY”
POSITION CLEARED AT LAST. MERELY NAVAL MANOEUVRES. (United Press Association—By T .ectrio Telegraph—Copyright! LONDON, October 16. The alleged mutiny on the battleship “Hood” last week is now amusingly explained. In tho course of naval exercises, four naval cutters carrying seamen representing “p rates” landed at Invcrgordon. They wore rounded up by others from the Hood and the Renown. The people of Invcrgordon. peeing the marines, with fixed bayonets, pursuing the seamen, spread the story ol the mutiny. Ihe j Admiralty indignantly repudiates those reflections on a “splendid ship’s company.” There is an interest-ng story behind the Admiralty’s denial of the mutiny. Only rare London newspaper published an allusion to the unrest in the Fleet, j but the Soviet newspapers carried col- , nnns insubordination in the British Fleet. They elaborated the doing’s of “the mutinous crew- of the Hood, many of whom are openly wonri)i~ ,-od.” The simple explanation of this is that the nirnte party wore disI languishing red ribbons on their sleeves.
