THE TORCH INCIDENT.
SYDNEY DOCK CENSURED. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received January 0, 10.20 p.m. London, January 0. In the Douse of Commons, Mr. Churchi',l stated that the regulations prescribed an examination of the cement coating inside the bottom plating whenever a sliip was in the yard. No such survey would help the Torch hetween 1005 and March, 1012. but as she was out of commission and he was advised that none of her officers had actually committed a breach rendering them liable to disciplinary measures, the only deficiencies revealed were due to want of judgment, common sense and 'businesslike capacity. The captain of the dockyard had been severely censured. The officers of the yard immediately concerned would he informed of the naval lords' serious displeasure. The Sydney dockyard was in a state of transition. There was no reason to be'ueve that similar laxity existed elsewhere, but a full inquiry'would be made into other dockyards abroad to prevent a recurrence of the incident.
