FLEET

NAVAL SPLENDOUR AT WEYMOUTH.

WHEN THE WARSHIPS WELCOMED." HIS MAJESTY.

BY HECTOR C. BYWATER

H.M.S. RODNEY, WEYMOUTH, July 11. Ideal weather conditions prevailed when the Home Fleet mado rendy to receive the King.

The sun shone out of zu azuro sky, there was a flat calm, and not a cata-paw to stir the flags that hang lazily from the wast heads of the ships.

At 4.30, when Victoria and Albert was first sighted to east- ward, the spectacle from the upper bridge of Rodney was magni- ficent,

Op our starboard lay Nelson, Warspite, Hood, and other great. ships, while on our port beam were Courageous and Furious. Be yond these were scores of other vessels, great and small. In each ship the crew lined the rails on upper-deck and boat-deek, their white crowned caps picking out the sheer of the hull against the sombre background of grey paintwork.

ROYAL YACHT GREETED BY THUNDER OF GUNS.

As the Royal Yacht with her es cort of destroyers drew nearer our bugles sounded the “Alert" and a few seconds later the first guns of the Royal Salute thundered across the water.

From my lofty position I had a birds-eye view of our vicious three- pounders as they flashed again with clockwork regularity. All the ships were firing now and for see- onds at a time the anchorage was almost bidden in a grey smoke pali, stabbed by orange tongues of flame from the gun muzzles.

As the Royal Yacht steamed to- i wards the harbour at a moderate speed, she presented an unforget table picture of nautical grace and j beauty, with her black and gold hull, twin lauff painted funnels and three raking masts. At her I retop she wore the Admiralty flag, from the mainmasthead floated the Royal Sudard and from the mizzen top

the Union Jack.

Making a wide swoop, she held

dropped her anchors punctually at 5.30. Her journey round, the Flect bad taken nestly an hung, and all this time there was practically dead silence throughout the Fleet. AAYO when the salute was being fired or the regulation cheers were being given.

Seventeen thousand officers and men stood motionless as statues as their King passed by, but the warmth of the cheers when the mo mont came for this gresting bore witness to the fervant loyalty that underlay the bends of Service etiquette.

GRANDEUR AND BEAUTY,

Although the present Fleet is small, the spectacle was extraordin arily impressive, and I have scen nothing to equal it in grandeur and beauty since the war.
