stars on ii that now flies from the
Tennessee's main will also be lowered
and in its place will be hoisted the
blue flag OF the commander in chief.
The West Virginia, for the time being
at least, will cease to be a flagship and
the future movements of the fleet will
be directed from the Tennessee, which
Admiral Sebree Will retain for his flag
The second division of the Pacific
Meet. OF which Admiral Sebree is now
in command. viii be turned over to
Rear Admiral Edward 3. Barry, now
on his way here from the east
Although Admiral Swinburne goes
on the retired list, the navy department
IS not yet ready TO surrender his serv-
ices. He has been appointed a member
Of a special retiring board which will
sit in Washington. The duty of this
board viii be to select for retirement
or service record is not sufficiently
perfect 10 justify their further promo
tiOn.
The onlciaI retirement from command
Of Admiral Swinburne will be purely
a formal affair. His flag will be hauled
down on the West Virginia. There will
be a salute of recognition from the
ships of the fleet for the new flag on
the Tennessee. Admiral Swinburne, in
civilian clothes, will then carry his
grip over the West Nirginia's side,
and as his barge-his for only a few
minutes longer-leaves the gangway,
the West Virginia Will fire a goodby
salute of 13 guns in his honor. The
officers OF the West Virginia wanted TO
man pulling barge and row the adj
miral ashore. Admiral Swinburne.
however, preferred to take the will for
the deed and requested that this per-
sonal tribute be omitted.
Rear Admiral Sebree, who succeeds
Swinburne. is probably the most pic
turesque figure in the American navy.
He is a sailorman of the old school and
enjoys not only the respect Of his
officers. but the almost idolatrous love
of the enlisted personnel.
