and bearded. he has determination
and calculation of am exceptional
nature written in. his face.
Ills eyes always seem hnlf-closed
In deep thought ana his square chin
is thrust forward to very marked
degree. II is a strong face-a face
not without imagination In lt but

lates his moves and means 10 carry
them out at all cost.
Admiral Bouc de iapeyrere entered

war II was 100 years since the
French fleet had seen any serious
fighting, he has been in several little
