SIR JOHN JELLICOE
Approaching the flagship,- I saw Sir John Jellicoe walking the quarterdeck, with a telescope under his arm, and keeping an eye upon all those grey monsters. He is quick of movement and speech, and tanned by years of exposure. He is on constant duty. Only a band of gold lace distinguished him from the other officers as he received his guests. The youthful appearance of Admirals Beatty and Sturdee and other squadron commanders "is impressive. Jellicoe, at fifty-seven, is senior to them -all. He is rarely without his telescope; nothing which the officer of the watch eees bnt Jellicoe sees also. He escorted his guests throughout the flagship.
