The work is to be put in hand in about a month's 'time, but it is & 'improbable that, the new pier will be ready for use before next (spring, and in the meantime Old Swan Pier will continue to be util- ised for river traffic..

How long the present structure has been in existence, it is hard to determine, but it probably dates back to the early part of the last century. It was certainly in use in 1857, and with the growing popularity of the "Belle" boats and General Steam Navigation Company's "Eagle" steamers, Old Swan Pier became as well known to Londoners and to visitors as London Bridge itself.

The pier, was named after the "Old Swan Inn," a famous river-

There is really nothing of a Fido about Sir Wyndham except ihia fidelity and neither fear nor Jaffection will turn him from what he considers to be his duty. Meet him in the street and you would pass him without 4 second glance. .That is just what he would wish, for he is not an ad. vertiser. But visit him in his curiously shaped and not too com- fortable room high up in that ramshackle building on the Em- bankment known as New Scotland Yard and you realise that you are in the company of a dynamic per- sonality.

Picture him. A man of middle height; in his 52nd year, but lean and lithe like a panther and with something of the restlessness of that animal-for, although he knows the vital importance of de- tails, he is impatient of trifles. He always wants to get straight at the root of things, and with uncanny insight he arrives at a conclusion which takes most other men days of tedious Investiga- tion to reach.

It is perhaps Sir Wyndham's eyes which compel most atten- tion. Deep set over a military moustache and behind a nose of pronounced character, they give Jone the feeling, as one of his fel No. 973 Bugler R. F. G. Jones low clubmen remarked, that "he and No. 1001 Bugler C. S. Pile from knows something to your dis No. 2 Platoon to Corps Headquar-advantage."

Doggett's day, as may be seen from Pepys' Diary, for on May 18, 1661, he describes how he went to see a race from London Bridge to Chelsea, which proved poor sport, and it, is probable that, as on a previous occasion, Pepys adjourned to the "Old Ewan," to console himself with "two or three quarts of wine, very good, and 200 walnuts."

The son of a Cornish lawyer, Sir Wyndham himself once fol- lowed the law, But the Army called and he answered, and now he is a policeman. Legal train ing gave him his great power of analytical deduction, while his military training made him ac- quainted with explosives and the use of firearms.. These two com-. bined are the reason why Browne and Kennedy are now under sen- tence of death for the murder of P.-C. Gutteridge, for it is now no secret that it was Sir Wynd- ham's personal examination of the bullets used in this murder in the light of his knowledge as a small arma expert that brought these two men to trial.

Incidentally, Sir. Wyndham is of the foremost sporting shots in the country; he loves the open air and shooting, fishing, and motoring are his hobbies.
