The Admiralty desires to deny this rumour categorically. During the stay of the vessel at Golfe-Juan, near Nice, which lasted over nine days, an average of 340 men have enjoyed leave on shore daily. In this period there have been thirty-five men who have returned late from shore leave. Included in this number are two who have not yet returned, and they am posted as deserters.
