ABOARD H.M.S. ROYAL SOVEREIGN, July 16.

In blazing sunshine, traditional "King's weather," His Majesty to-day stood on the bridge of the royal yacht, the Victoria and Albert, and with three of his sons took the salute of Britain's mighty war fleet off · Spithead.

An area of eleven square miles was filled with an orderly array of 157 warships and one hundred other gaily beflagged vessels.

His Majesty the King, with a keen naval-trained eye, swept the review as the royal yacht steamed through the avenues of grey, low-lying hulls, while the ships' companies manned the warships' sides and cheered lustily, and the roaring planes of the Fleet Air Arm dived low in salute.
