(Received June 27. 9.5 a.m.)
London, Juno 2G. King George visited the Fleet at its northern base. He arrived amidst one of the most remarkable thunderstorms recorded, and was met ashore by his son, Lieut. Prince Albert. Accompanied by Admiral Beatty, the King inspected in succession tbe crews of the various flagships. He saw a modern battleship in action, with officers and men at their stations, masked and gloved against the risk of cordite flashes.
The visit lasted a week. Tlie members of the King's entourage are satisfied that the Nnw is willing and ready to moot all demands to be made on it.
