EARL ST. VINCENT.—Lord St. Vincent was
exacting upon minute points of etiquette to a degree which
was irksome to his subordinates. It was the custom for a
lieutenant from each ship in the fleet to go on board the
always fulfilled ed daily I believe, for orders, but the office was
unwillingly. On one occasion, and in a par-
ticular vessel, a dispute arose among the lieutenants, each
trying to show that the duty was not his; mail, to the great
relief of the others, a spirited young fellow volunteered.
Ho went on board and introduced himself to the admiral,
then Sir John Jervis, who, alter scanning his uniform, said,
"I cannot give my orders to you." "Why not, Sir ?"
"I don't know who you are." "I am a lieutenant." "I
should not judge so from your dress." "I am aware of no
defect in my dress." " You have no buckles in your shoes."
The lieutenant departed, supplied the omission, and return-
ing, again. presented himself upon the admiral's quarter-
deck, prepared to take his revenge. The first formalities
having been gone through, Sir John was proceeding to give
his instruct',ons, when, to his great surprise, the lieutenant
said he covdd not take his orders. " Why not ?" inquired
the startle d Jervis, " I don't know who you are," was the
reply. "I am Sir John Jervis, Commander-in-Chief of his
Majesty's Fleet, &C." I cannot tell by your dress" (for in
truth the admiral wore a simple undress). Sir John, with-
out another word—for he was fairly caught—retired into
his cabin , whence he soon emerged in the full costume of
an admi cal, and the officer, having expressed his satisfac-
tion, re,coivedhis orders. The story goes that speedy pro
motion followed in this case, for Jervis had the good sense
to froreciate the spirit of the one as well as the wit of the
o.uilfft-1404 and Queries.
