A meeting of the Royal Society of Tasmania was held on August 14. Mr. Bernard Shaw, I.S.O., presided. Attendance was low due to other functions scheduled at the same time.
Mr. W. F. Ward read a paper upon "The effect of reversing the screw on the steering qualities of a ship, with an explanation of the Togo-Alice collision." The speaker illustrated his address with diagrams. Further points of detail were discussed. The meeting then terminated.
