Special Gable Despatch TO THE Sun.
LONDON, March l4.-Admiral Nelson's
General Memorandum" being the Ad-
miral's autographs directions issued to his
captains on the eve of the battle of
Trafalgar, was sold at auction at Christie's
to-day to a bookseller named Sabin for
SIS, 900. Some Of the authorities of the
British Museum were present at the sale
and it is said that the purchase may have
been made on their behalf.
The document indicates the plan of battle
and is remarkable because it makes no
provision for anything but victory. "In case
a captain is unable to make out the flag
ships signals" Nelson says: she cannot
do very wrongif he places his ship alongside
one Of the enemy's.'
The whereabouts Of the memorandum
was not known until recently, when it was
found in the possession of a private family
which had been una wa re of the character
or value Of the document.

year. -,

entertainment, which was closed by a ballet

about midnight. after the theatres sent
their crowds. 1t was daylight before the
