England's oldest admiral, Sir Edmund Fremantle, celebrated his 91st birthday in mail week. A recent fall has left him less active, but otherwise he is in good health. Joining the Navy at the age of 13 in 1849, he served for many years abroad in the Mediterranean and China. He also took part in wars in New Zealand, Ashanti, and Burmah. His personal daring made him a popular figure in the Navy, and he

was awarded the Royal Humane Society's medal for div. ing overboard to save a sailor, a feat he repented in the Bay of Bengal.

In his house at Kings Worthy, near Winchester, he sees few friends, and seldom goes be yond his own boundaries be- cause of failing sight and hearing. But his interest in current poli- tics remains as keen as over, and he conducts a considerable cor, respondence by dictation. He is also very interested in the work of the Commons and Footpatha Preservation Society, which he founded. His general health is extremely good.
