Four-inch gun carried by British steamship in harbor case
Norfolk, August 27. The British steamship Walmana arrived for coal with a four inch gun mounted on deck. Captain Holmes had not secured clearance papers and proceeded to the bankers. Customs officials in Washington were asked to rule before departure. An informal US Britain agreement restricts armed merchant ships leaving US ports. Walmana’s voyage from Marseilles to Buenos Aires is viewed as different due to its American port and destination.
