DESCRIPTION OF THE DUKE'S QUARTERS,

"Beachy Head. 1690.** This inscription caught my eye as I stepped on to the quarter-deck of H.M.S. Suffolk. There were dates and names of other battles of oldes times in which a, Suffolk bad fought arranged on either side of the quar, ter-deck superstructure.

Because it is naval etiquette so to do, I touched my but by way of salute to the memory of England's greatest Admiral, and then saluted again in response to a similar greeting from the Officer of the Watch a young grey-eyed lieuten- ant whose taaned features and briskly alert manner denoted him, nevertheless, to be no novice in the ways of the sea

I made known my request to view the quarters allotted to H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester, who will sail in HM.S. Suffolk in connection with the Garter Mission to Japan. Hardly had I finished presenting my credentials to the Officer of the Watch than I was in the presence of the Captain.

The Admiral's Suite.

One must, of necessity, exercise the utmost decorum when approach- ing the Captain of a Britiah war ship on the quarter deck of his own yessel. For, be it understood, his ship is his Kingdom, and the Cap. taia is veritable ruler of all he surveys. Iacon felt, however, that the greeting of Captain G. S. Arbuthnott, D.S.O., had very quick. ly put me entirely at ease.

The Captain himself conducted! me below to inspect the quarters allotted to the Duke. Like HMS. Kent, Suffolk, had been designed as a flagship. Accommodation is pro- vided for an Admital, Chief of Staff, etc., in addition to that pro vided for the Captain, Commander, and usual Ward Room officers.
