Similar to PU1/62/5/1.1, this shows John Bull peering over a door into a room where the shadowy and aged lords of the Admiralty conduct their business. Scattered on the floor are various scrolls of paper labelled with the topics on which Punch has found them wanting. These include the names of the ships lost through Admiralty incompetence (the HMS Captain and HMS Magaera) and such issues as 'armaments', 'dockyards', and 'ironclads'. |
