'acquainted when I spoke, and I could, perhaps, cile other reforms which have taken place dur- ing that last year and a half; but, being only a sailor, I shall leave this line of argument alone. and am quite content that Mr. Thursfield should enjoy his excellent joke.

Personalities always excite far more interest, than their amrunce justifies. But, even if I am to be unt Sally for the ocasion. .1 would still venture to submit that in my letter, which your were good enough to publish on the 26th the arguments which I advanced to show that we had not lightly abandoned the best school for the training of young officers, that our officers and men were not the worst bot sailers in the world, that there, is no systein which keeps our ships in harbour and lowers the standard of gunnery, and that it is merely a joke to say that the physique of our bluejackets has been lawered by 50 per cent. remain untouched by Mr. Thursfield's letter. He quotes personally three high authorities in support of the above charges, but highly as I- respect those authorities, I am convinted that I could bring a to one against each of them. Your readers must decide whether or not I have succeeded in showing that there is no foundation for the above sweeping assertions regarding our present system of naval training. Mr. Tharsfield with his clever pen has render- ed great services to his country by drawing attentionto baval matters, and it is to be sincerely hoped that he will continue his efforts.

He will find, even if he has not already done so, that the opinions of officers vary widely on some very important. subject. We do not go all together he a flock of sheep. I for one mus admit that I have not been consistent, and that I' hold opinions now which are almost diametrically opposed to some which I expressed only a short time ago, expecially with regard to the position of the engineers, and the relative values of engineering and old-fashioned seamanship:

"The discordant unerances of the experts" is not altogether an unjust reproach, Naval efficiency is in a constant state of flux and change; and an old proverb tells us that it is ill work teaching am, old dog new tricks, but, nevertheless, we must learn new tricks, and we are leaming them, though, perhaps, not as rapidly as we might do.

I undertook to show that in your leading article on Trafalgar you put before your readers far too dismal a view of our present system of naval training, and in doing so I contradicted A statement which I made no more than a year and a half ago without having thoroughly acquainted myself with some changes which had been made doing my absence abroad. Mr. Thursfield has convicted me; he has got his little joke at my expense, and he is heartily welcome to it. I can even join him in his laugh, while still hoping that he will continue to devote his great ta ents and his extensive naval knowledge to the graver aspects of the case by advocating and supporting all desirable reforms.

If he will do this he will win and deserve the gratitude of all those who have the efficiency of the Navy at heart, whereas, if he continues to repent and defend, the above-mentioned caricature of our naval training, and fails to distinguish between solid arguments and ex- pressions used as mere figures of speech, he will win nothing save a barren triumph in dialectics.

In Mr. Thursfeld's case we look for him to be always instructive and only sometimes amusing.

Your obedient servant,
