Under First Sea Lord Admiral of the Fleet Sir Dudley, Commander in Chief of the Home Fleet is Admiral Sir Charles Morton Forbes, 60, a softspoken, blue-eyed, pint-sized gunnery specialist who reached the top without social pull, who likes to prune his own apple trees, whose second wife is a Swede. He saw the carnage at the Dardanelles as executive officer of the Queen Elizabeth, was the late Admiral Earl Jellicoe's fleet gunnery officer at Jutland in the Iron Duke, for which...
Most doctors believe, with their sainted masters, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes,* Sir William Osier and Dr. William H.

For a while, he went into partnership with Charles Jackson, a noted chemist and physicist, but finally, homeless...
...Congress was ready to award him $100,000, but Chemist Jackson stormed Washington, violently denounced Morton as a fraud, claimed that he had given Morton the tip on the powers of ether. Up popped Dr. Long with a sheaf of documents to prove that he was first. Confronted by conflicting claims, Congress did nothing. Morton died a pauper in 1868. Jackson went mad, died in an asylum several years later. During the Civil War, Long buried his documents in the woods. Later he dug them up and stored them in the garret. He died an embittered...
