AN HONOUR TO THE MERCANTILE MARINE.

Commander Sir Franke Bartlett Stuart Notley, K.B.E, R.D., R.NR.; whose name appears in the bonours 1st published to-day, is the Marine Superintendent of the P and 0. Steam Navigation Company.

His long and interesting career in the mercantile marke began as far back as 1879, when he went to sea as an apprentice in the abip Borealis." In saillig ships he re- mained, chiefly in the Australian trade, for a period of seven years, then, as a junior officer, in June 1886, entering the service of the P. and 0 Company, in which, in July 1905, be attained the rank of commander. In this capacity he had charge, among other ships, of the "Plasy," engaged in the Indian transport service, for nearly four years. At the termina- tion of the "Medina's" commission as a royal yacht, Captain Notley took command of that vessel, remaining. in her for six years until his appoint- ment by Lord Inchcape to his present position in January 1917.

His early and prolonged service in sailing ships gave Captain Notley ag knowledge and experience of seaman- ship in its broadest rapect which has become of relatively increasing rarity, as the proportion of British sailing ships has diminished.

Captain Notley's work as superin- tendent during the later and more strenuous period of the war was not simplified by the fact that F. and O. ships were runsing.. under the Ministry of Shipping and bad frequently 'to be attended, overhauled and restored, under conditions of the utmost difficulty, at distant ports ou various parts. of the United Kingdom coast. This disturbance of routine, involving a amount of hurried considerable travel imposed a burden of work

Notley, like the responsible overseers of other great. lines, met the unusual strain with a success upon the pre- sent recognition of which his nume- rous friends have been glad to cm- gratulate him. Captain Notley's hocour is; indeed, evidence of the official perception of the vital service which was rendered to the sational cause by the mercantile marine and, In that sense, it is warmly welcomed fu shipping circles.

It may be added that Sir Franke Nolley, who holds the rank of retired. commander and the decoration of the Royal Naval Reserit, was fer many. years a keen and active officer in that branch of Admiralty service; and, in that connection, was en ployed for some time as an officer in the Navy, after successfully taking the usual preliminary courses in the gunnery and torpedo school-
