ADMIRAL JELLICOE TESTED.
Mr. A. H. Pollen paid a fine tribute to Sir John Jellicoe when speaking to the Pilgrims' Club. Mr Pollen recalled that Admiral Sir John Jellicoe was one of the three officers still in the service who were survivors of the wreck of the Victoria. Very few of those who came out of that ghastly happening had kept their nerve in a condition to enable them to serve, and it was a most intersting tiling that a man who had gone through" the astounding nerve-test of the last twelve months should have gone scatheless through a previous experience of so terrible a character. Sir John Jellicoe's ascendancy^ over his brother admirals and captains, and over all under his command, almost amounted to worship.
