"Potato" Jo©es, whose disgust at affairs is increased by the nick-name by which he is known throughout the world, and which he deelared to be most uncomplimentary,, went ashore this morning and discussed the position with his partners. • The Mary LleweHyn later faced a raging Bay of Biscay gale and steamed out. Jones refused to reveal his plans, btxt according to the Sunday Graphic he told the officer commanding a British destroyer: "I am packing np for Avonmouth." . "Potato" Jones, enraged over the inactivity, told the British .United Press that since the time of the Spanish Armada nothing had been heard of the Spanish Navy.
