BRITISH
ADMIRAL
IS DEAD
LONDON, Sept., !)— Admiral Aron
Charles Bcresford died suddenly this
forenoon of a stroke of apoplexy.
Lord Bcresford became distinguish
ed at sen as n fighter in the British
navy and then became famous on land
as a fighter in parliament for “a
jjreat British navy to control the
seas.”
“Our supremacy at sea has been
threatened,” he exclaimed in one of his
appeals. “We have arrived at a crisis
in our history as an empire. It be
comes a matter of life or deuth to
the British empire to remain supreme
at sea.”
Entering the British navy, at the
age of 1”, Beresford served his coun
try on the high seas, for a half cen
tury. During brief periods he serve#!
in Parliament. He was a popular naval
hero of England and a rear admiral
when he was retired in 1011 at the ag<'
of 65 years.
The world still remembers his cour
ageous exploit in 1882, during the
bombardment of Alexandria. He was
then -'15 years of age. In his little ship
“Condor,” he silenced the Marabout
forts, entered the city and established
an effective police force . He was pro
moted to the rank of captain. He also
received special commendation from
Parliament and the wildest enthus
iasm from the British public.
His was an eventful life. Scarcely
a year passed but what some act of
gallantry won him new honors. He lad
his naval brigade across the desert to
Khartum in the vain attempt to res
cue General Gordon. He commanded
his sailors in the battles of Abu Kle*<.
Abu Kru, and Metommoh. He led the
expedition which rescued Sir Charles
Wilson's party in the “Safia”, for
which Parliament "omn.erded him f<>.
gallantry. The r'rench Government
thanked him for h*s assistance to the
grounded ‘Seignalay."
Many foreigi governments, as well
as his own, *|^2juv “d medals upon ;h»*
Adftiiial for gd’anuy. But of them
ail, he felt mu..i p.*r;d of those which
were given hi n tor leaping overboaid
at high sea to rescue shipmates. Three
times was he thus honored.
Lord Bercsford believed in naval
strength as the only security for
peace.
“The main point for the content
ment and welfare of the people or’ !!*••
world is peace,” he declared. “Peace
is absolutely essential.”
