It is certain that small rasseta enn be employed with far greater advant age than forinerly. The most important positions which our aval forces would be required to mapy, such as the Straits of Gibraltar, Bab-el Mandab, and Singapore, are ominently adapted for the effective use of small vessels smell with powerful weapons.

"I has been urgad maat strongly by Mr. Hornnhy that every monster ironell should be supported by a ilulilla of grishouts. Has due woight bosa giren te this suggestion of this Chi Constructor, which received the strongest sup port from Sir Spencer Reajuwon and other anthorities?
