A SEA - DOG AND A MUTINY.

A story of the sea is disclosed in # collection of autograph MSS. of Sir Joseph Banks, the eighteenth-century traveller and scientist, which are to be sold at Sotheby's.

Sir Joseph took part in Cap- tain Cook's expedition to examine the Transit of Venus in the Pacific, and made other voyages of discovery.

In one manuscript is given an secount of the voyage in Captain Vancouver's ship

Discovery, which surveyed the consts of Australia and New Zealand in 1791-1795.

This Vancouver (writes an Evening News correspondent) appears to have been a comman- der of forceful personality, a grim disciplinarian, and indeed a martinet of the high seas. It mattered nothing to him whe- ther his ship's company made up of peers or potmen. All alike came under the lush of his iron will. The

story of "trouble" on board Captain Vancouver's ship reads like a chapter from one of

"As regard the executive branch, during the years which immediately preceded the war the urgent need for officers for the rapidly-growing Navy had to be the first consideration. The entries, therefore, rose during those years, and 300 carlets were being entered annually. When the war came to an end and the Fleet was reduced to a pence-time basis, the number of these officers greatly exceeded requirements, and special steps Greater Shanghai: 5 cases, 2 were taken, in 1920 and 1922, to deaths.
