the falkland Islands, will round out
his fifty-ninth year today. His naval
career has covered almost forty-sev-
en- years, as he entered the navy in
1871. He served with distinction in
the Egyptian war in 1882, and in 1899
reached the rank of captain. About
thirteen years ago he became chief
of staff of the Mediterranean fleet. AT
the beginning of the present war,
when he held the rank of vice-admir-
al, he was made chief of the war
staff, and held that position when he
was dispatched to the South Atlantic
to meet the squadron which had de-
feated the squadron under Rear Ad-
miraI Cradock, off the Chilean coast
Early in December, 1914, Admiral
Sturdee came up with Count Won
Specs ships near the Falkland ISL
ands, and destroyed them. He then
returned to his duties in England

the German squadron, went down
