The crew of tne vessel denied that there was any explosives on board, and there seems little doubt, according to the sutementt of those who examined the ship, that the explosion was from the outside and that some sort of bomb

or torpedo had been used.

Alfred Leblanc, general agent of the Harrison Line, visited the Mechanician and a report of the damage done was submitted to him. He said three urge plates on the surboard side of the boat had been stove in and t6 rivets had been broken off or knocked completely from their places. As the ship was making considerable water it was decided to shift the ballast so as to lift the damaged section out of the water. It is thought the damage can be repaired here. Agent Leblanc said the Mechanician will be loaded with a cargo of mules and get away for South Africa

as soon at possible.
