FALABA FINDING.
JUDGE, THE SUBMARINE AND THE CREW.

Giving judgment on Thursday morning in the case of the Falaba, Lord Mersey found that the ship was sunk by a torpedo from a German submarine, and that the measures taken for saving life were promptly carried out, and that proper discipline was maintained. He said that the submarine made no effort to save life, but that probably she could not have done so without endangering herself.

Lord Mersey added that he was satisfied that witnesses who described the boats of the Falaba as having been "rotten" were mistaken, and that the damage sustained by some of them in launching was not due to neglect on the part of the officers and crew.
