commenting on the dispatch of the

indicated that the steamer had AZ

on any OF our ships unless they have
been taken over by the government
for use as transports. Then they can
arm them as they like, for they are
then ciassed as auxiliary warships.
But our passenger liners are not
armed in any way, and when the Hes.
perian sailed from Montreal she GER
tainly carried no gun. She was In
port in England week, and We have
no information whatever that during
that time anything was done to her
in the way OF putting on a gun. A At4.7
is pretty big gun-it was with guns
OF this caliber that the naval brigade
did much fine work when going to the
relief Of the Ladysmith-and in order
to mount one Of them on a liner, the
whole OF the inside OF the ship would
have to be braced up.
Il don't think It possible that n gun
could have been put on the Hesperian.
This is the first boat the Allan line
has lost" continued Mr.. Allan. at, is
not difficult for submarine to get a
boat like that. Apparently one was
waiting for her. Whether the Hesper.
ian had a gun or not does not alter
the question OF the responsibility. 1t
is evident from the information that
has come to hand that she was not
warned in, any way. =
