"OUR INVINCIBLE NAVY."
In the article which appeared under the above title in the issue of _Punch_
for January 14th, the setting of the nautical episode, in which the subject
of the story conducted himself with so much aplomb and resourcefulness, was

his assurance that _Reginald McTaggart_ was not intended even remotely to
represent any actual individual.
