NAVAL MEMORIES.

The development Arat of steam pinnaces and, later, of motor- boats, has had one effect on the British Navy on the China Sta- tion, and that is the abolition of the Chinese boats' crews which in former times every ship flying the White Ensign carried in this part of the world. These stalwarts- for they were meatly that--were of H.MS. "carried on the books Victor Emmanuel," that picturesque eld wonder two-decker of the old days that was "receiving ship" at Hong Kong. They wore the uni- form of the British matloe, that when H.M.S. Plover or Lap- Rattler came up the wing or Menam on one of its periodical showing the flag visits, they act-! ed as ferrymen between ship and hore and were sometimes seen about.
