We wish to show that-there-is-good reason for apposing that the statements which have Leen very widely expressed os the extent of the injury inflicted on the Vanguard by the Fron Duke havo been be a great degrea exag«. gerated. It be boen generally assumed that the collision between the Iron Duke and the Vanguard proved, if it proved anything at all. the irresistible power of the ram as a weepon of attack, and we have not seen a single erga ment adduced in favour of the opposite new notwithstanding that the opposite view at all events as regards the action of the ram în calen weather-spesira to us to be to every great os-1 tcut upheld by the evidence available.
