Roxburgh. which had stayed outside prac-
ticing gunnery, as follows:
Paint work appears to be in more de-
mand than gunnery. so you had better
come inside IN time TO look pretty by

When Admiral Beresford learned Of this
he summoned Rear Admiral Scott TO his

The possibility of Rear Admiral Scott
resigning in consequence stirs feeling. his
record and his enthusiasm for gunnerv
having made him equally popular with
Lord Beresford- The latter, however. is
as being technically in the right.
