Incidentally, the Australia will have been at sea for 25 days continuously, which is probably a record , for the navy since the war. In consequence of the time lost it has been decided to omit calls at the Bahamas and Bermuda. The Duke of Gloucester will be in Jamaica from March 6 to 16, arriving at Portsmouth' on March 28.
