Not long ago, il will be remembered.
Col PoNsoNBY. by command Of Queen VICTORIA,
sent a letter to Lord ENETER, the Commodore
Of the ROYAL Victoria Yacht Club, stating that II
was "a common practice for private yachts to
approuch the Queens yacht from motives Of
loyalty or curiosity, and as this was attended
with considerable risk, the Queen had requested
him to ask to have the practice discontinued.
This letter excited general disapproval and not
a little indignation. The Inference was that IT
was sought to throw the whole blame OF the sad
accident in which Mr.. Haywood lost his sister
in.law, two OF his crew, and his yacht, on his
Officers and TO shield the real culprits, Prince
ERNEST Of Leiningen and Can't. WEIGH of the
Queens Yacht. The whole press, with one or
two exceptions, censured PoSsoNBY, and re-
gretted that the Queen should have taken so
ill.advi. ed step. Finally the feeling about the
mater became so intense that the London
