| We 11 August 1875 | The Channel Fleet paid an unexpected visit to Galway Bay on Sunday morning, and the presence of the ironclads excited no slight commotion. The vessels now at anchor are the Warrior, Defence. Vanguard, Achilles, Hector, Iron Duke, Penelope, Hawk, and Imogene. The Town Commissioners are anxious to give the officers a hospitable reception, and telegraphed to the borough members to request an extension of the stay of the Fleet for a few days. In reply to the representations made to him, the First Lord of the Admiralty left it in the discretion of the Admiral to remain or not. A deputation waited on the Admiral, who consented to prolong his stay until Thursday. His ready compliance has afforded great satisfaction, and an impromptu ball, which is expected to be very successful, will be given to-morrow night in honour of the Fleet. | ||
