THE H.A.J. Steamship
the recent manœuvres was the fact that, thanks largely to increased efficiency derived from the gyroscope, the Whitehead torpedo is a weapon to be taken into very serious'consideration in future naval battles. Seven or eight ships were ---actually struck thereby, an i altogether.a_great impression was made. For some years past there has been a glowing but very mistaken tendency throughd it the Service to ignore the possibilities and capabilities, of torpedoes in actual warfare.In a word, the reputation of the Whitehead has been at a discount; though, when one comes to consider the question, it is difficult to see why, for the gyroscope is no longer a new thing, and everyone knows the improvement which it has brought about in the value of the torpedo. Probably the growing conviction that battle Gring will be carried out at long ranges has something to do with this failure to give Whitehead torpedoes their due; and, indeel, it is difficult to believe that the use of submerged tubes in action will be any- thing else but extremely limited. On the other hand, destroyers-and before long, submarines as well-appear to be destined to have consider able voire in the settlement of the next nával struggle; and who knows but that greater glorying awaits the torpedo (an either the gun or the ram?

NOTICE TO CONSIGNEES.
The detailed account of the late voyage of the Sunbeam to Canada and back, given by Lord Brassey in a letter to the Times, has in- terest from a higher standpoint that of the yachtsman. It shows, for one thing, that, for certain purposes, a combination of steam and sail power has considerable advantages com- pared with the use of either by itself. On the outward voyage of the famous schooner, THE Steamship contrary winds were so much in evidence that only 830 miles out of 3,636 were accomplished by sailing. But on the way back to England, the position was reversed, no more than 240 miles having to be performed under steam, The coal consumption for the entire trip-a matter of vital importance on long voyages was consequently kept down to 140 tons, but
the yacht nevertheless managed to maintain an average speed of 202 miles a day, Lord Brassey also bears witness to the good resulting to crews from occasional resort to salt power alone; it completes the professional equipment of the handy man” and safeguards him' from growing rasty in seamanship and hardiness of the old sort. Of course, it is not given to all ́to possess a staunch cruiser of 227 tons, capable of going anywhere and facing all sorts of weather, But it would certainly be to the national ad- vantage if some of the enormous sums spent on international yacht racing-machine racing would be the more:accurate description-were diverted to that purpose. Skimming dish craft would fare very badly if caught in the tail end of the recent hurricane, as the Sunbeam was when approaching soundings last Satur day. But she weathered the heavy gale and the tremendous seas splendidly, and does not appear to have suffered in any way.-Globe.
