Commander' Sanders, V.C., D.5.0., was paid to-day by Admiral Jeilicoo' in unveiling a memorial to Sanders in the Takapuna-School. Three Victoria. Cross winners wore present at tho ceremony, namely, Lieutenants Bassett and Judson, and Private J. Crichton.

Admiral Jellicoe said Lieut-Commander Sanders was promoted to his rank- within twelve months of joining the service, and this, as far as he was aware, was almost a record. He. detailed the last guhnnt light made by the Prize when torpedoed out of range. "That," said the .\dmiral, "was the end of as gallant a craft and as gallant a captain and crew as ever sailed the 6»as."
