Lord Fisher, in the course of a new book of memories, to bo published in November, amongst some interesting naval disclosures, says that Lord Jellicoq's .appointment ra Commander-in-Chief led to an outbreak of mutinous threats amongst distinguished officers.

Ho has all the Nelsonic attributes except one—he is wholly wanting in the gift of insubordination. Alas, he is saturated with discipline, for which he allowed himself to be cajoled away front the great post of duty in order to prop up an effete administration.'"-Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. lUI.S.
