Although wearing a uniform of blue and gold, it was difficult to imagine that this slight, aathetic faced, born-spectacled map was the captain of a 23,000 tons battleship and the leader of 1,000 men. With ris nimble wit and quick grasp of points one would think him a leader at the Old Bailey Bar.

Captain Dewar: I'll put it an other way. Don't you agree that my justification or the reverso for forwarding Commander Daniel's letter largely depends upon whether or not the incidents described o curred!

SISTER.

CONTESTED WILL

A woman who refused the pro- posal of a man who afterwards married her sister, gave evidence in the Probate Court in London, She is Miss Isabel Jane Mear. She contested a will, made in 1995, by her sister, Mrs. Emma Caroline Leonards-on-Sea, who died in 1920 Morris, of Highland-mansions, St. at the age of 81.

In this will, propounded by the executors. Dr. Sidasy Charles Men- neer and Mr. Percy Idic, Mrs. Morrin-whose estate amounted to about £19,000-left most of her pro- perty to her servant Miss Louisa Charlotte Gibbs. about £1,395, was left to Miss The residue, Mear, who opposed the will on the ground that Mrs. Mortis was not of sound testamentary capacity. Miss Mear set up a will of 1019 in her favour. This left Miss Gibbs an annuity of £181.
