Naturally, did not see much of my
great-uncle, the admiral. He was a

cause he was used to discipline at

the conduct of the ship than the cap

legged that there was no love lost be-
tween Capt. Guilford and the admiral,
and the captain had been heard to say
that having an admiral on board was
like having mother-in-law in the
house. Nevertheless, Sir Peter was a
fine seaman, and the gunroom joke
was that he knew how to command,
from having learned how to obey un-
der Lady Hawkshaw's iron rule.

turning to the steward, said: Soup.

Excuse me, Sir Peter, but in the in

you not to eat pork, as it always dis

Sir Peter glared at the steward and
then at the leg of pork, and, suddenly
jumping up, seized the dish and threw
it, pork and all, out of the stern win
dow. AS had secured my portion,
could view this with equanimity.
The next dish was spareribs. The
steward said nothing. but Sir Peter
let it pass with groan. 1t seemed to
me that everything appetizing in the
dinner was passed by Sir Peter, in re-
sponse to peculiar kind of warning
glance from the steward. This man,
I heard afterward, had sailed with him
many years, and was understood to be
an emissary of Lady Hawkshaw's.
We had, besides the pea soup and
roast pork, spareribs, potatoes, tur-
nips, anchovy with sauce, and a Gus

pea soup and potatoes; but l observed
that he was his own master as far as
the decanters were concerned, and 1t
occurred to me that he had made a
trade with the steward, by which he
was allowed this indulgence, as no

time Sir Peter filled his glass.
