Here, last October, the received orders not to proceed to Vladivostock uelit after the ratification of the Peace Treaty, and accordingly waited her time. Shortly afterwards the vessel disappeared, and nothing is known. at to her | subsequent movements. The steamer Brya was despatched in November last from Vladi vostock in search of the missing ship, but returned, having found no trace of either the steamer or her crew.
Since that date nothing has been heard of the Scerabaya, but now the news comes that the vestel has been discovered by the natives,

ARMING AUSTRALIA.
A COMPREHENSIVE SCHEME. Slowly, but surely, the importance of making provision for the defence of Australia is being recognised by Federal politicians; and it is a sign of the times that the Royal Commission which, nearly two years ago, was appointed "to examine the Bill for an Act relating to Naviga tion and Shipping" häs, in ita report just issued, mada recommendations in favour of the for mation of an Australian Royal Naval Reserve and the establishment of seagoing training ships for lads,

In connection with the formation of a Royal Naval Reserve, the Commissioners "ore con- vinced that prompt action is highly desirable." MESSRS, HUGHES AND HOUGH have
received instructions to sell by PUBLIC AUCTION,

THE SUPPLY OF TRAINED men. "Our financia'resources," the report proceeds. "are limited, and we cannot hope to possess a line of battle-ships, or even first-class cruisers; but torpedo-boats and similar craft are within our means, and, properly handled, would as the late war has shown, a good account of Give themselves. These can be obtained at com. naratively short notice, and with little difficulty. But it is far otherwise with the force needed to man them. It has become a truism, which situate at Victoria, in the Colony of Hongkong people accept unquestioned but do_not heed, that it takes time to train a seaman; and the time required to produce an up-to-date naval fighting man is much greater then formerly To what extent the effectiveness of '
a navy.in absolutely dependent
sufficient supply пропа of trained seamen, the experience of America. and Russia in the recent wars may be instanced,
In the report of the Committee of Congress appointed in 1904 in connection with questions affecting the trine of the United States of America, it is stated that had America, in her war with
Spain
met with a single reverso, necessitating further drafts of seamen, none were available for the purpose. Practically the whole of her sailors and fishermen had beeg absorbed, and to man the fleet recourse must have been had to landsmen, Just what this means is shown by the experience of the ill- starred Baltic Fleet of Russia."
POINTS OF THE SCHEME, The following are the outstanding points of the scheme as summarised by Mr. Hughes himself:-
(1) To offer inducements to Australian ship- Owners to employ bays between the ages of fourteen and eighteen, who are to be trained in the essentir's of seamanship. Such boys' to be enrolled in the Australian Royal Naval Reserve for a period of ten yours,
(3) To provide for a system of annual con tinuous training in seamanship, gonnery, and torpedo work for those boys on board of the Imperial' Squadron.
(3) To provide for a course of similar instruc
tinn for all seamen between the ages of eighteen and forty-five now or hereafter employed on Australian registered ships, such seamen to be enrolled in the Aus- tralian Royal Naval Reserve.
Mr Hughes believes in catching his sailors young. Boys, "Australian or British, are to
