A very amusing little sketch by W. W. Jacobs and Horace Mills.
George Burton, a naval pensioner, anxious to make an impression on Mrs. Dutton, an attractive widow, persuades his old messmate, Joe Stiles, to impersonate an admiral. "The Admiral" plays his part so well that George sees his "prize" slipping away from him, till the curtain falls on a welcome surprise.
