Although. it was originally announced” that Captain ,!. G. Glennie was .to take command of H.M.S. Dunedin when Rear-Admiral the Hon. E. R. Drummond transferred his flag to the new cruiser Achilles, no such 'T change has taken place. .Instead; iCommahder Willett, who was the Commodore’s chief executive officer on the Dunedin, has assumed command of the old flagship and will take her tp England when she leaves Auckland on February 16. When the Achilles arrived at Auckland on September 6, it was officially, stated that Captain Glennie, who brought her out from England, would take command of the Dunedin after the transfer of the Commodore’s flag, and that Commander Willett: would transfer with the RearAdmiral. Now,- however, Captain -Glenhie will remain with the Achilles, as the Rear-Admiral’s chief executive officer. : This is the first time a Commodore of the New Zealand station has had a captain as his executive officer.—Press Association. - .V '
