Armstrong, Whitworth, and Co., has given an account at Newcastle. of the origin and development of the warship-building section of the firm. He stated that about 1867 the company, which pre vionaly had been cocupied almost entirely with the construction of gnus and their appartenances, including explosives, decided to take up the building of war vessels, and accordingly arranged with the late Mr. Charles Mitobell to build such vessole at his Wal- ker shipyard. Sir William White, who from 1983 to 1885 was in charge of the shipbuilding de- partment, organized the Elewick yard solely for the construction of warships, and the Walker yard, which had been taken over by the Armstrong Company in 1882, was left to deal with vessels other than warships. It was then that the firm really earnestly und vigorously entered on the design- ing and construction of warships, and they have since never been without an order for one or more of such vessels. Indeed, on one or two occasions their resources have been rather severely taxed, as, for instance, in 1896, when they had no fewer than 20 warships of in various stages of completion different classes, 15 at Elswick and five at Walker, with an ag- gregate displacement of 98,000 tons." At the present time they total displacement of 168,670 had in hand 10 war vessels of a

tone, including five Dreadnoughts, two coast defence ironolads, two scouts, and one armoured gun. boat. Their total warship outpat aince 1884 amounted to 141 vessels, with a displacement of 619,979 tons and a horse-power of 1,221,687. Their new Arm- atrong yard, where they had begun the building of the Dread- of over 30,000 tone for a foreign nought Malaya and an armourolad Navy, contains wine building berths, the largest of which will take any class of vessel up to 1,000ft, in length and almost any beam. The smallest berth will takea vessel up to 500ft, in length. Three of those berths have been specially constructed and streng thesad by ferro-concrete piling and foundations for the building of the largest and heaviest war or mercantile vessels yet con- templated. Tuare is a river" frontage nearly a mile in length. Tho yard is, or rather will be, equipped with all the latest and most improved machinery, and has been brought as thoroughly up to date as money and me, chanical appliances will allow, Provided the supply of labour and material were available they could undertake to construct at it over 200,000 tons of shipbuild- ing work simultaneously,
