On Wednesday Dr. Harry Paynter Sloggett passed away at his home, Canterbury Road, Middle Park, at the age of 75 years. Dr. Sloggett was a native of Cornwall, and came to Australia 50 years ago, and lived most of the life in Middle Park, and practised his profession locally and in Collins Street.

At the South Melbourne Council on Wednesday Cr. Nuzum carried a motion of condolence.

Although the Victorian Navy ended in 1901 the career of Cerbeus etc continued. In 1910 the new ships started arriving & manning levels increased.
