SIR EDWARD CHICHESTER
787

The speech of Captain Chichester to the German admiral—"That is a matter known only to Dewey and me"—may be seen inscribed in the Naval School in Annapolis, U.S.A., where it embellishes one of the walls of the academy. It may be noted that Annapolis is one of the most British towns in the United States, in the style of its streets and architecture generally, and there is surely no English name more beloved in the American Navy than that of bluff old Admiral Chichester.
