8. Hall was, truly, an amazing character. He went on to become chief of Naval Intelligence during WWI and guide not only the code breaking operation of Room 40, but bedevil the Central Powers with various subterfuges and secret agent "stuff." See James, Admiral Sir William The Code Breakers of Room 40: The story of Admiral Sir William Hall Genius of British Counter-Intelligence. New York, St. Martin's Press, 1956, pages 14-18 for a discussion of his time on Queen Mary.
