BRITISH SHIPYARD F^'^U^ rk . TW was a tune Bon is that the financiers endeavoured to show how a shipyard should be ran. and failed. It was one of the foUies of the war period that anyone city" could do better than trained shil>huilders. The madness passed, but its effects remained. The reorganised comnguv has been fighting manfully aga-n. t heavy odds, and it has lost. So, the departure for sea of the Anglo American Oil Company s Chesapeake m January, the firm was left with no \e sel in hand. The yard is non s.lent. l n the other hand, Messrs. Ilarland & M olff —where the men who know have d»recttr-d operations without interference—have an increasing quantity of work to do. and can regard the future with hope and confidence.

A “Q" SHIP HERO.— Captain R. N". Stuart. V.C.. D. 5.0., R.N.R.. late =»t-. ncantain of the Canadian Pacilic nn« i Empress of Australia, lias been appointed commander of the Brandon, of the same line. His V.C. was awarded for services in connection with the “cy ehip Pargust. On .Tune 7. 1917. while- disguised as a British merchant vessel, tne Pargust was torpedoed at very ciose range. A panic party, under the command of Lieutenant F. R. Hereford, abandoned the ship, and as the lifeboat, actin" as a lure, decoved the suomanne to within 50 yards of the Pargust, the latter opened out with her guns. The submarine took a heavy Ist. and her crew clambered out of the ®onning tower, holding up their hands. The Pargust ceased fire, whereupon the submarine began to move away. The Pargust i--opened fire, and the submarine sank, oneman clinging to the bow as she went down. For this action Lieutenant Stuart, as he then was, was awarded the Victoria Cross.
