LORD JELLICOE.
SOME GILBERTIAN HUMOR. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. Speaking at the civic reception to-day, Lord Jellicoe said: "I want to Bay on behalf of the officers and men, especially the unmarried ones, that the more we see of the New Zealand ladies the more we want to see. (Applause.) Indeed, in the minds of some of us, especially in the mind of the captain of the New Zealand, there must occasionally coine the thought as to whether he will have anybody left to man the ship by the time she arrives home in England, because we are constantly getting requests from various portions of the ship that urgent business—(laughter)—has arisen which necessitates the presence of such and such an officer or man in New Zealand, or in some other part of the Empire which the New Zealand has visited. We do not know the special reason, but we guess it, and occasionally the truth is revealed when the banns are published on Sunday morning. (Laughter.) But, at any rate, what we want is to see as much as possible of this great Dominion."
