AMUSING EXPLANATION OF THE ALLEGED HOOD MUTINY SOVIET JUBILATIONS
. — By Telegraph — Copyright).
(Rec. 7 p.m.) London, October 16 The alleged mutiny on- H.M.S. Hood last week has been amusingly explained. In the course of the naval exercises four naval cutters carrying parties of seamen who represented "pirates" were landed at Invergordon and were rounded up by parties from the Hood and the Renown. The people at Invergordon, seeing niarines with fixed bayonets pursuing the seamen, spread the story that the mutiny had oceurred. The Admiralty indignantly repudiates the reflection upon what is described as a "splendid ship's company." There is also an interesting story behind the Admiralty's denial of the mutiny. Only one London newspaper published the allusion to unrest in the navy but the Soviet newspapers earried columns describing insubordination in the British fleet and elaborating the doings of "the mutinous erew of the Hood, many of whom are openly wearing red." The simple explanation of this was that the members of the "pirate" party were wearing red armlets to distinguish them.
