In the cours e of a speech in New York Rear-Admiral Sims gave the British Admiralty a very good character for disregard of red-tape com-
pared with the American Navy Department, which, he declared could give the Admiralty points and a beating when it came to obstruction.

Contrary to the general belief in the United States, he added, the Yankee tars did not always come out with flying colours.
