Anchoring at Spithead, she was boarded by the flag-lieutenant, who, presenting the compliments of the Port Admiral, desired to know why the ship was flying an Admiral's flag. The captain, with great presence of mind, caused a blue handkerchief to be sewn in the middle of the flag, which then became the house-flag of Wigram's & Green. Later the house-flag of Money Wigram & Son's. |
