\es," said an officer of the Georgia to a "Sunday Times" representative, > wove had the biggest surprise so far m Sydney. The reception you have aceordedtis has been the talk of the fleet From fo'castle to the Admiral's Quarter. The greatest movo of all was to allow our men to land with arms. When the signal was made from the Connecticut oh the night tefore the march through tho city for the men to land in light marching order, we all thought it was a mistake. Every moment we were expecting the order to be comitermanded, but it held good all right. This is the first foreign port in which we have done such a thing, and I can tel) you the compliment is appreciated by all. Yes, that is about the best thinj; you have done. You see, it's a very greab p ivilege—the greatest you could accord to us."
