The Cunard Line ss. Laconia was torpedoed without warning on Sun- day night. She had about 300 on board, practically all of whom were saved.

But titr- ma- chinery has been sold. What cost probably hundreds of thousands, has gone for $8,650, and The Echo under- stands that junk dealers were the buyers. What cost one million dol- lars will now be thrown upon the township of Keppel, as it is a safe in- ference that the Trust Company will wash their hands of the whole affair."
