Britain had to fall back thus upon cas-

who supplemented the decaying ranks

tide came when, in 1876, Sadler (gray

Australian, and since then Britain has
played second fiddle. Yet even this eN-

not account for her decline as against
her colonies for the latter start where
she leaves of, with no special calling of
watermen to supply the champion
