it was futila to order the men. back into the open, gavo the order that the parade should be reformed in the gymnasium, which-is-under- cover, and was quite available for the purpose, There the officer briefly addressed the signal. men and seamen and dismissed them. The' third patty, however, the stokers, a class drawn from the lowest social scale represented in the Royal Navy, had from time to time during the pasade made remarks uncomplimentary to the THE U officer, and they were ordered to remain as they ware.
The officer concerned in small in stature,
and, feeling confident that in the rear ranks. further insulting remarks were being made, ordered the men in front to kneel. It is point ed out that this was not really necessary under the circumstances, as the men, some 500 in number, could have been formed into three sides of a hollow square, taking the place of the dismissed seamen, and signalmen.
The stokers were greatly incensed at this order to kneel, and point-blank-they refused to carry it out; shouts of "No, no" coming from the ranks. Then the officer peremptorily repeated the order, and the men, with the ex- caption of two, dropped to their knees.
"TO GOD ALONE.” These two men stood defiantly, and one man said "he 'would band his Ince to God alene. Upon this the officer dismissed the

Later in the evening the men went to the canteen, and here the first act of what amount- ed to open mutiny occurred. After refreshing themselves with beer, perhaps too freely, the ines became excited, and began to behave in disorderly manner, smashing the glasses and turning on the tap.
Some of the more turbulent spirits advocated raid upon the quarters of the officer who had given the order to kneel, with the avowad object of wrecking his furniture. Accordingly a move was made in the direction of the officers' quarters, which are situated on the other side of the road.
