(British Offlcial Wireless)
dominion secretary has an unpleasant experience LAUNCH IN DIFFICULTIES
Rugby, Sept. 13. In connection with the mishap to the Dominions Secretary, Mr. J. H. Thomas and his three companions, it has been ascertained that when the motor failed a fresh sea was running which washed over the boat and the occupants had to bail vigorously. Heavy rain made visibility poor, but the Minister and his companions, by tying their handlcerchiefs to an oar, which they waved in the air attracted the notice of the coastguard who gave the alarm. The Shoreham lif eboat was launched and although darkness was approaching found the fishing party and took them ashore, cold and soaked but cheerful.
