   Five men were injured when a motor-launch lifeboat, being lowered from the Cunard White Star passenger liner AQUITANIA in a lifeboat drill, fell 50 feet to the water.

   The accident happened in the Ocean Dock, Southampton, when a party of 10 men were lowering the motor launch from the boat deck when the rope falls at one end snapped.

   For a moment the launch hung suspended in mid-air, and then the falls at the other end broke under the strain and the launch, with two men aboard, plunged 50 feet to the water.

   The two men in the launch narrowly escaped drowning and were taken to Hospital suffering from shock.   Three other men were struck by the flying falls.   All of the men came from Southampton.
