Admiral of the Fleet Sir Geoffrey Hornby, who it will be remembered was called as a witness for the defence at the court-martial on Vice-Admiral Fairfax, is dissatisfied with the conclusions arrived at by the Admiralty as expressed in the Minute presented to Parliament. He write to the Times ostensibly in reply to Admiral Sir Leopold Heath, who recently endeavoured to justify the action of the Board, but it is clear that Sir G. Hornby, a summary of whose letter appears in this issue, is more concerned with one particular clause of the Minute, than with the document on the whole - - -

At the Admiralty and the Howe Court-Martial
Admiral Hornby's Opinion
Sir Leopold Heath having written a letter to the Times on the subject of the Admiralty and the Howe court-martial, saying that he is much mistaken if the service in general does not entirely sympathise with the Board in the view they have taken, not only of the particular case, but of the general subject, Admiral Hornsby write in reply: - I believe he is much mistaken. His is the first opinion I have heard from a naval officer in favour of the minute of the 8th ult. It is undoubtedly the duty of the board to consider all sentences given by the courts-martial; but those sentences are held in great respect by the fleet as being the well-weighed opinions of very competent and honourable men; and when two such Courts acquit an officer charged with a specific offence very strong reasons must be shewn for condemning him for "unskillful management." Yet this is what has been done in the case of the captain of the Howe. We had both Courts agree that the inaccuracy of the chart was the primary cause of the loss. It is true that if she (the Howe) had followed the flagship accurately she would not have gone ashore; but one reason that she failed to do so was that the chart was trusted. - - -
Sir Leopold compliments the Board on their pluck in issuing their minute. I feel more sympathy with the future admirals and captains in the ridicule that will be cast on them when they wait outside ports with a fair tide to enter while their brethren of all nations and degree are pressing them to enter.

As was to be expected, the extraordinary issued by the Admiralty respecting the Howe Courts-martial has drawn forth letters from naval officers and others in the habit of discussing service matters in the public newspapers. - - - - Sir Leopold Heath does not agree with Mr Clowes, and scores a distinct point when he when he asks whether the epithets "cowardly, despotic, tyrannical, and un-English" would be considered as rightly attaching to a Court o Appeal which upset the judgment of the of a lower Court, and that the Judge of the lower Court would feel himself insulted. The Admiral believes that the Admiralty in the view they have taken, not only of the particular case of the stranding of the Howe, but of the general subject, but here we think he is entirely wrong.
Outside the service there may be, and doubtless is, a pretty general agreement with the unique course pursued by the Board, but among naval men there is a wide-spread sympathy with those whose conduct was under investigation and with the members of the Courts-martial, particularly that held at Portsmouth, under the presidency of the Earl of Clanwilliam. - - - -

The Admiralty Minute
In referring to the court-martial at Porstmouth last week we find that we unintentionally did Mr Martin an injustice in attributing to him the duties of prosecutor. The Secretary of the Admiralty states that there was no prosecution at that trial. - - -
- - - It cannot be for its good that the Navy should be governed by law made off-hand by such a transient and changeable body as the Board of Admiralty instead of Act of Parliament. There are many who with Sir Leopold Heath will admire the high sense of duty which has been shown by the Naval members of the Board in arousing the ire of their brother officers, but they would have stood far stronger had their position been legally secure, and had their minute a somewhat less defensive ring.

Herbert Heath was on board the H.M.S. Victoria under the direction of Sir George Tryon, Fleet Commander in the Mediterranean off Tripoli in Lebanon.
Tryon had the fleet of 14 ships doing manoeuvres to keep themselves occupied. They were in two groups and performed a turning in manoeuver of the two groups, in line, towards each other that resulted in H.M.S. Victoria and H.M.S. Camperdown having a prang, of which, H.M.S. Victoria came out worse, and sank.
Tryon gave orders to get H.M.S. Victoria to head for shore, not at the time realising how serious the damage was. A party of sailors under Lt Herbert Heath tried to unroll a collision mat down the side of the ship to patch up the hole. But the ship was going under too fast and by the time they had unravelled the mat they were already themselves standing in water and had to give up.
Within five minutes of the collision the bow was under water and the ship was listing to starboard. The ship capsized within 13 minutes. The area around Herbert became a “widening circle of foaming bubbles, like a giant saucepan of boiling milk.”
358 sailors were lost with the ship. Tryon went down with the ship.

Heath on the East India Station. His position during the Abyssinian Expedition of 1868 was that of director of transports, and in consequence of the of the very valuable services which he rendered during the campaign he was specially mentioned in despatches and rewarded with the C.B. in addition to the Abyssinian medal. - - - From 1871 to 1874 he was private secretary to Mr Goschen, who was then First Lord of the Admiralty. - -

The Loss of the Victoria.
We offer our hearty congratulations to Sir Leopold Heath on the miraculous escape of his son Lieutenant Herbert L. Heath, on of the officers of the ill-fated Victoria.
New has been received at Anstie Grange of Lieutenant Heath's safety. The fact that his name did not appear in the list either of those saved or who had lost their lives naturally gave cause for anxiety, but it has since been ascretained that Lieut. Heath had been ordered for temporary duty away from his ship.
To this circumstance he probably owes a most providential escape. A few years ago, it is said, this gallant young officer narrowly escaped death through some defect in a diving apparatus, and last year he was falsely reported to have been shot in Australia.

Lieutenant Heath's Escape - Admiral Sir Leopold Heath writes us from Anstie Grange under date July 3rd.
"We thank you much for your congratulations upon the escape of our son, Lieut. H.L.Heath from the Victoria disaster. You will, however, have seen from the official dispatches that his safety was not due, as you suppose, to temporary absence from his ship."
Lieutenant Heath, who was doing duty on board the ill-fated Victoria, has made the following statement to our Admiralty officials: - "I was on the chart house when the signal was hauled down, and heard the orders given, "Hard a starboard." I saw the ship swinging to port. I went off the chart house on to the fore bridge and heard the order given full steam astern port engine, and seeing a collision imminent gave orders, "Close water-tight doors," and "Out collision mat." I saw many men running down to their stations, and then went down on to the upper deck to see the men into their stations, and ordered the G's to be sounded on the bugle.
It was while I was on the upper deck that the collision took place. I then went on to the forecastle to try and place the mat, which I could not do at all, as the ship settled down by the bows and heeled to starboard. I then tried to get down the starboard forecastle hatchway, to see if the doors were properly closed, but I was driven back by the water. From here I went over all to the after-bridge, with a view to hoisting the boats out. The captain ordered me to fall the men in the port side of the upper deck. This was piped, and almost immediately after the ship lurched heavily to starboard and turned over.

Whilst on the subject of dog stories, I must include this from the Spectator, vouched for by Frisk's owner, Miss Georgina A. Marsh-Caldwell.
Frisk is a little red Blenheim, and the writer says that her pet always slept in a basket, close to the hall-door. One night she dashed up the stairs, loudly barking, ran first to my eldest sisters room, then through a swing door to another sister's room, barking outside each door, then upstairs again to my room at the top of the house, where she remained barking till I got up and opened it, when she ran in, still barking, and waited till I was ready to go down with her. She scampered on before me, I following close, and when we both reached the hall she dashed still barking to the door, to show me whence her alarm had arisen.
It was the policeman turning the handle of the door from the outside to see if it was properly closed.
One night, a long time after the first adventure, I was wakened by a quiet scratch at the door of my room. No barking, this time but, tiresome as it was to be disturbed on a cold night, I got up and opened the door, and was conscious in the darkness that Frisk was standing there. Come in. Frisk,' said I. But no movement; Frisk stood waiting. Come in, Frisk,' I repeated, somewhat sharply. No movement, no bark.
Then, being sure that something must be wrong, I lighted a candle, and there stood Frisk outside the door, never offering to come in. She trotted quietly down before me, not speaking a word. When we were both through the swing-door, and at the head of the stairs, I saw that the inner door to the hall was open, and also that of the morning-room, from which shone a bright light.
My heart went pit-a-pat for a moment then seeing Frisk run quietly down the stairs, I followed her, when she calmly jumped into her basket again, and I, venturing into the morning-room, found that my brother-in-law had left the lamp burning by mistake, a proceeding which Frisk plainly knew was wrong, and had therefore come upstairs to inform me, but had not thought it necessary to disturb the rest of the household this time!
She had come straight up to my room without disturbing any one else, to tell me of the irregularity of a light burning when every one was in bed, and that being done, jumped into bed again, conscious of having per formed her duty."

Primrose League Fete at Sandbach.
On Saturday afternoon, a fete and garden party in connection with the Brookside Habitation of the Primrose League was held in the grounds of Betchton House, the residence of Mr L. Barlow, ruling councillor of the habitation.
The weather was very much against the success of the gathering, for rain threatened during the whole of the morning.
A meeting was announced to be held in the Square in the afternoon, and an address was to be delivered by Mr R.M.D. Littler Q.C., but the rain which had threatened all day came down in torrents and the meeting had to be abandoned. - - -
Amongst those present we noticed the following:- General Sir Richard Wilbraham, Mr Lionel Barlow, Mrs Barlow, Mr Littler Q.C., Mr and Mrs G.B. Baker, the Misses Marsh-Caldwell (Linley Wood), Misses Royds, Miss Shooter, Major and Mrs Heath, - - Miss Poole, - - - and many others.
After tea, the rain having cleared off, a platform was improvised of three lorries, which were hung with banners bearing suitable inscriptions such as "Imperatium Liberate," "Primrose League, Brookside Habitation," &c. whilst onthe sides of the tea tent were hangings with the words "Victoria, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India," "God save the Queen," &c.
On the platform were - Mr Lionel Barlow (chairman), Mr Littler Q.C., General Sir Richard Wilbraham, Mrs Barlow, the Misses Marsh-Caldwell (Linley Wood), Major and Mrs Heath, Misse Royds, Miss Shooter, - - (rest unreadable)
