was one Of those austere men who
thought that all discipline must rest
on fear; the only way to instil that
fear was by punishment, and in his
day punishment rose TO a severity
never before known. Contemporary
with St. Vincent was Nelson, who
hated punishment in every shape and
form, and whose contention was hat
true discipline could have only m
basis. and that was mutual respect
between officers and men. He further
contended hat the true test Of dis
cipline in a fighting force was the
way men comported themselves in
battle, and certainly by the glorious
victories he himself achieved he es-
tablished the practical value of his
own theories. Curiously enough. how
