This, officer is Commander William Metcalfe Lang, R.M., a vice-admiral in the Chinese navy, and late in command of the Kestrel in our own service. Commander Lang is not likely to follow the example of Hobart Pacha, whose refusal of the Admiralty request to resign the service of the "unspeakable" Turk" led to his name being struck out of the Navy List. Not such a dreadful disgrace, perhaps, when it is remembered that a similar sentence was passed on the Earl of Dundonald, one of England's greatest seamen, and that Sartorius and Charles Napier experienced a like fate during the days when they held command of Dom Pedro's fleet.
