On May 1, 1901, she was com- missioned at Bermuda to take the place of the old floating battery Terror as receiving ship; and at the same time her name was altered from Malabar to Terror, to preserve continuity of the name of Terror as the ship on whose": books various officers at Bermuda were borne..

Transport Over Sea.

Owing to the peculiar geogra phical conditions of the Empire, Baye the Globe, the question of sea transport has a for greater im- portance for the British Army than it be for those of Contin ental nations: In time of peace the necessity for relieving corps | quartered in foreign stations, and the need for replacing the casual- ties which occur amongst nur troops abroad, arcessitates con siderable portions of the regular forces being yearly transported Acroes ·· the ... sgås 'on"

of varying lengths. The various campaigas in which British troops have been engaged in recent years has given us very valuable experience in regard to the preparation of vessels for the transport of horses and military carriages and the conduct of military embarkations and dis embarkations, so that the trans- port of troops by sea in time of peace is carried out with re- gularity and efficiency. The successful transport of troops by ses and their embarkation and disembarkatica in time of war is a far more serious matter, and though of particular importance ins country isolated like Great Britain, the study of combined" naval and military operations cannot be said to have received until quite recently the

ance demanded. Oor text books contain very little information regarding the combined · action of firsts and armies, though it is mora necesty than in the case of any other nation; except per- haps Japan. The last sixty yeaTA has furnished considerable ex

erience in the matter of the em- barkation and dicembarkation of troopa in an enemy's country. Ju regard to our own services, alone, we have the landing of the English, French, and Turkish armies in the Crimea in the open bay of Eupatoria in 1854; the British and French armies in Chins in 1859-60; the Abyssinian Expedi tion in 1888; the Expedition to Egypt in 1882, and more recently the South African War in 1899-1902. A study of the oircumstances attending each of these experiences shows clearly the want of practice on the part of our troops especially. The events of the South African War certainly demon- strated the wonderful resources of Great Britain. In the finst eight months alone of the war about 208,000 men and 200,000 horses and males were disembark- ed at the South African ports; and during the whole period of the war the total amounted to 400,000, with practically no mishap. But we met with no opposition, The Boers had no naval resources. Our transporta were able to proceed to South Africa at their best speed, and disembark the troops, horses, and etcron na comfortably an if they had been engaged in carrying ordinary passengers and merchandise in time of peace. Probably the ordinary reader has no idea of the difficulties attend- ing the embarkation and disem. barkation of a military force even in peace time, under favourable conditions in regard to weather and otherwise, and without op position.
