Show Bo'sun and Sir John Fisher. Admiral Potter told a new one on Sir John richer. When Sir John was at the head of the British admiralty he was most inaccessible. One day an old boatswain appeared. He would not take "no" for an answer. Finally a secretary went into Sir John's office, of-fice, leaving the door ajar. He told the admiral that a sailor demanded an interview. "Tell him to go to hell," roared Sir John. "Aye, aye, sir," piped the boatswain, who stood in the doorway at a respectful re-spectful salute; "I know I'll meet you there, sir, but I want to talk to you now, too." |
