is particularly true i'll view OF the complete

fault must be either in the cable system or i'll

been in use about two months, and during that

that it could not he loO>cncd, and the uncon-

The court martial in the Victoria disaster
acquitted Captain Bourkc without qualifica-
ton. It's verdict in this respect was logical
and necessary. The Vice Admiral gave the
orders for the manocuvre, and paid no heed to
Captain Bourkcs circumstances Only one
man could command the flagship The SUI
perior officer was solely responsible for the
disaster and said so almost with his last
breath. The subordinate could not be held ac-
countablc for an order which his Judgment
condemned. 1t was his plain duty to obey the
Vice Admiral, who commanded the ship. ANY
other verdict would have been subycrsiye of
naval discipline. With reference 10 Rear
Admiral Markham the court -martars iudg-
ment was less logical and distinctly cvasivc.
The court acquitted him on the ground of cx-
pcdicncy because it would be fatal to the
best interests of the service To say that he
was to blame for carrying out the directions
of the commander-ln-chief, who was present
in person" 1t considered the Rear Admiral
under obligation to obey the Vice Admiral.
but expressed its regret that he had not car
ricd out his original intention and disobeycd
the order That is singular qualification

apprehensions and of what You considered in
evitable, you ought to have violated the neces-
sary rules of the service
The logical deduction from the reservation
made in Admiral Markhams case is that the
court would have justified his conduct if he
had refused to comply with the order and
thereby had prevented the collision at the risk
of a court martial upon his conduct. That is
a plausible conclusion after the event with the
Victoria and the Vce-Admiral ut the bottom
of the Mediterranean. But to Admiral Mark
ham standing upon his quarterback and read
ing the signal, "What are you doing Camper

have seemed altogether predetermined. If he
had refused to obey and after saving the Vic
toria had requested court-martial for his
vindicaton he would have set up his private
