Cuban independence. There is every
indication also that the debate VIII

An Unlucky BunEle.

On the 21st of December, 1885, Ad-
miral Dundas gave up the command
of the feet and returned to England.
He was succeeded by Admiral
Lyons, between whom and Dundas
signal parting took place which will
long be remembered as a standing
joke in the navy.
As Admiral Dundas left the feet
at Kamiesch the crews of both Eng
lish and French ships manned the
yards and gave him parting
cheer. At the same moment by the
desire Of Dundas, a signal was run
up to Sir E. Loyns on board the
Agamemnon, May success attend
you, to which Sir E. Lyons ordered
to be hoisted in reply, MAY happi-
ness await YOU"
But though In real life hanging
and happiness are generally oonsid-
cred to have no very CLOSE oonneo-
ton, yet in the signal code they are
very much alike. Unfortunately, in
the hurry to reply to Admiral Dun
das, the flag for the former instead
of the latter word was hoisted, and
what was worse the stupid blunder
was not discovered and hauled down
till the whole feet had seen and
read it.-Pearson g Weekly.
