(By Telegraph.)
(Special to "The Evening Post.")
NELSON, 16th March,
While the" Benown was at the outer anchorage .on Sunday, the Iron Duke Sea Scouts, .under .Commander-Lieu-tenant A. K. Griffiths, R.N.V.8., put off in their cutter. As_ the Royal barge containing the Duchess went out of the entrance the Scouts crew came to the salute, and later, as the Eenown sailed for. Wellington, the Scouts gave hearty cheers. The Scouts were really the last to farewell the Royal visitor. To-day tho secretary of t- i Nelson Navy League received the following appreciative letter from Captain W. Snlivan: "We were much impressed on "board Renown with the keenness and smartness of the boat's crew of Sea Scouts who pulled off to the ship while she was lying off -Nelson yesterday morning (Sunday), especially with the smart and seamanlike way in which the salute of tossing oars to the Royal barge was carried out. Our only regret was thajt it was not possible, owing to unavoidable circumstances, to invite the boys-crew to inspect the ship. I shoul'l be glad if you will bring this to the notice, of those concerned."
