THE ESTABLISHMENTS A FACTOR IN ITS EFFICIENCY:

[From A Correspondent]

The recent piece of work which was successful ly undertaken by the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company in connection with the refitting of both the Albion and Glory stands out pro-- Eminently at a time when it Ik of the utmost

importance that the capabilitie in this respect should be tested.

As we understand it, it is only the turret guns which are really noticeably, affected, and the cause of it secar to be traceable to the copper driving band which encircles the base of the projectile and which, cutting into the rifling of the gun as the projectile is forced through the muzzle, imparts the rotary spin to it which keeps it true and straight as an arrow during its passage through the air

The men had all been in America before, and wished to return there, but they did not all have sufficient money, and they thought that the arrangement to work part of their passages was quite usual and regular. They did not intend to defrand anyone or do anything wrong. -

Ab Ping was then charged with aiding and abetting the men in slowing away:

His Worship said it was clear that the men did not go on board with any wrong intention; they all ap; eared to be rather stupid, and there was no doubt that Ah. Pirg, taking advantage of their stupidity, had duped them. They could not he held to be stowaways in the legal acceptation of the term, for the moment they found they were not to be treated like ordinary passengers, but to be hidden away by Ah Ping, they refused to subrit, and it was the fuss they made over the absence of any bedding, food, or their own belongings that attracted the attention of the officers of the vessel to their presence on board." They were all ac-. cordingly discharged..

We might, therefore, reasonably expect the driving band to wipe itself on the lining of the gun and leave a trail of copper deposited,

This is apparently, what has accurred, only that about the centre of the gun where the temperature, due to the highest pressure, would be greatest a constriction has formed, the copper being more thickly deposited here than anywhere else.

It must be remembered that as these guns are wire guns and therefore have a certain amount of spring in them, the copper would be de posited when the gun was slightly expanded from the pressure, and consequently as the barn assumed normal dimensions again the added thickness of copper would cause the constric tion before mentioned. It therefore became orcessary to replace these guns by oiliers from the reserve store.. Now the removal of a fifty Mr. P. W.
