On Sunday morning the King. accompanied by the Queen, the

Prince of Wales, Prince Albert, and Princess Mary, came ashore from the Royal yacht and reviewed 140 Naval veterans in Portsmouth Dockyard. The men, who were assembled in civilian dress, wearing their medals, had served in the Crimea, the Mutiny, Egypt, the Baltic, and China. The oldest was ninety-four, and many were infirm or maimed. Some claimed acquaintance with the King and the reminis- cences which followed marked most agreeably the relations between officers and men.
