sovereign out of his own pocket.

in-Chief, is expected to commence an inspection of the

absence early in September; and instead of travelling
north with the Princess to join the Duke and Duchess of
Gordon’s party at Gordon Castle, his Serene Highness will
probably go abroad on private businuss, his duties while he
is away being carried out by the senior oihcer in the
Southern Military District.

The Royal middies will, if the Bacchante returns direct

rather I. suggestive fact that, during the stay of the
Squadron at Melbourne, more than fifty descrtions have
been reported, the defnulters going ashore in boats’ crews,

got rid of the initial objection of expense by stating that he
would advance the money for uniforms.

Belrnullet, in the country of the Binghams of Clan1norris-
not Lucun. Here he harpooned the sunfish, shot bluerooks
on Iuniskca, hunted the seal in the caves of En-is, and

occasion he had an unplcursantly close shave forhis life;
but he captured it young eagle, which still survives, and is
in the possession of the Prou-stunt Archbishop of Tusni.
