that they are going to be dismantled and sold, or put on to the scrap haap. The question which concerns us, however, is, what are we going to have in their place? The sloops, on account of their economical steaming qualities and shallow draught, were admirably adapted to their work, and if called upon to land a party of fifty or sixty men, in order to quell a dis turbance, were capable of doing so. Torpedo. boat destroyers are not adapted for river-work of this sort. They carry a much smaller com- plement of men; they consume coal on a much Jarger scale; are fragile and dependent on a parent-ship for supplies which they have not got room to stow and yet they are the only small craft, besides the little gunboats, that are left.
