The Exhibition is divided into four Main Sections, viz. : - Arts, Navigation, Models, and Ordnance, and these with their several Sub-Divisions are located in a series of Galleries, with each of which has been associated the name of some distinguished character in Naval History, viz. : — The Franklin Gallery, containing the interesting and pathetic relics of the several Arctic Expeditions. Nelson 1 probably the most interesting and valuable Blake ,, > collection of Art treasures and Relics ever ,, Benbow ) brought together. ,, Howe ,, the " Miscellaneous Sub-Division" of the Exhibition. ,, Cook the Exhibits relating to (a) The several branches of the Science of Navigation. (b) Boat Lowering and Life Saving. , Models of Marine Engines, and a complete history of Naval Architecture, ocularly demon- strated, from the time of the "Great Harry" to the present day. "devoted to Naval Ordnance, Torpedoes, Diving Apparatus, Electrical Appliances for Naval purposes, materials used in Ship and Engine Construction, Armour Plates, &c. In addition to the above there is a special gallery, which has been designated "The Armstrong" gallery, and which is entirely occupied by the wonderful exhibits of the great Elswick Firm (Sir Wm. Armstrong & Co.), and a series of smaller structures (Kiosks) are ranged about the grounds, containing the separate exhibits of the larger Shipbuilding and other Firms. Throughout the Exhibition, endeavor has been made to so arrange the exhibits in chronological order as to at once convey to the visitor an idea of the gradual progress and development in all branches of Naval and Maritime matters ; and while the carrying out of such an arrangement does not readily lend itself to a strict classification for catalogue purposes, inasmuch as " Loan " and " Trade " exhibits, &c., cannot be kept distinct (in Sections) the one from Seppings St. Vincent Gallery Camperdown , , xvi Preface. the other, it is believed that it will prove none the less interesting on that account. In the compilation of this Catalogue the convenience of the visitor has always been kept in view, and while it purports to be a faithful record of the whole of the objects in the Exhibition, it has been arranged so as to serve the double purpose of Guide and Catalogue, in order that with this book as his vade meaim the visitor may be " personally conducted," so to speak, from entrance to exit. Should the visitor desire to proceed at once to any particular Gallery or Section he will be directed thereto on consulting the Key on page xli. Apart from the mere usefulness of the book as a Catalogue of the Exhibits, it is hoped that it may prove of interest in other directions. A series of articles has been written, which will be found preceding the principal sections (corresponding to the sections of the Exhibition) into which the book is divided, treating more fully of the particular subjects contained in those sections. To the Catalogue of the Arts Galleries has also been added a synopsis of the arrangement of Portraits, Battle Pictures, and Figure Subjects relating to prominent periods of British Naval History, as also a chronological list of the services of the Royal Navy, from the year 15 12 to the present date, and brief biographical notices of the Officers whose portraits are exhibited, and notes on the battles depicted. Every endeavour has been made to render this THIRD EDITION of the Catalogue more perfect than its predecessors, and thanks are tendered to all those who have so kindly assisted towards this end by calling attention to errors which had crept in and been overlooked in the hurry of compiling the previous editions ; in the meantime, any intimation of further corrections which may be desirable in future editions would be gladly received by THE EDITOR.

OFFICE OF "THE ENGINEER," 103, STRAND, LONDON, W.C. Introduction, xxxiii INTRODUCTION. The possibility of holding an Exhibition illustrative of the history, development and progress of the Navy was first discussed in the autumn of 1890, and, as an essential preliminary, H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh undertook to ascertain the wishes of H.R.H. the Prince' of Wales on the subject. His Royal Highness not only signified his approval of the project, but accepted the Presidency of the Council, and promised to support the movement by every means in his power, a promise which has been fulfilled in the most ample and literal sense. In presiding over a meeting held on the 5th February, 1891, at the Royal United Service Institution, of the Council and others associated with the proposed Exhibition, His Royal Highness again expressed his cordial approval of the undertaking, and remarked that, in his opinion, it was the bounden duty of every Englishman to do his utmost to increase the popularity of the Navy, an object which he considered the proposed Exhibition was well calculated to fulfil. Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh also gave powerful and practical proof of their sympathy with the movement, not only by their patronage but by placing at the disposal of the Arts Committee many objects of great interest and value, and in this their example has been emulated by the Prince of Wales ; the Duke of Edinburgh, moreover, in his capacity as Naval Com- mander-in-Chief at Plymouth, has not only assisted in the work of the Central Committee, but has organised a local movement, of which the results can be best judged by an inspection of the Exhibition itself. The project having thus assumed a practicable shape a Com- mittee was formed under the presidency of Admiral Sir William Dowell, K.C.B., with Admiral Sir W. Houston Stewart, G.C.B., as Vice-Chairman. H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh was present at the first meeting of the General Committee, which was held at the Admiralty on the 16th September, 1890. The object of the Exhibition having been defined, the most important question which presented itself for immediate settlement was that of a suitable site. The relative merits of several were B xxxiv Introduction. fully discussed, and it was at length decided to accept an offer made by the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital of the site about to be vacated by the Military Exhibition. A special feature of the proposed Exhibition, in connection with the outdoor entertainments, being the evolutions of Blue- jackets and Naval drills and exercises, requiring considerable scope, arrangements were made to acquire an additional tract of land ; the Naval Exhibition, therefore, occupies a space nearly eight acres in extent larger than its predecessor. Notwithstanding the additional accommodation thus afforded there has been no difficulty in obtaining a sufficient number of exhibits ; on the contrary, it has been necessary to subject the offers that have been made to a drastic course of weeding and many objects which might legitimately have claimed a place in such an Exhibition have been unavoidably excluded, in order to afford room for others of still greater or more general interest. It was, at the outset, decided that the Exhibition should be restricted to purely national objects. The exigencies of space, apart from other considerations, rendered it imperative to exclude foreign exhibits. It was also decided that any surplus funds arising from the Exhibition should be placed in the hands of Trustees to form the nucleus of a Benevolent Fund for the benefit of the widows and relatives of persons whose deaths are attributable to the Naval Service. Negotiations were entered into which resulted in the acquirement for the purposes of the Naval Exhibition of the buildings specially erected in 1890 for the use of the Royal Military Exhibition ; these were for the most part well adapted to the purpose, but, as will be seen by those familiar with the site, it has been necessary to re-arrange and in several instances to supplement them. A guarantee fund was formed, which met with ready support ; the Exhibition was registered under the title of " The Royal Naval Exhibition, 1891 " and Sub-Committees were formed to deal with the various heads into which such an undertaking naturally divided itself. The formation of a Local Committee at Devonport under the presidency of H.R.H. The Duke of Edinburgh has already been referred to. Similar organizations were effected at Portsmouth and Sheerness by the Naval Commanders-in-Chief, Admiral Sir J. E. Commerell, V.C., K.C.B. and Vice-Admiral Curme respectively. It is difficult to speak too highly of the work performed by these Committees ; not only were the duties and Introduction. XXxV responsibilities of the Central Committee thereby sensibly diminished, but the local interest evolved resulted in the production of many objects of great historical interest which might other- wise have easily escaped discovery. The Committee desire to record the great obligations they have been placed under by Sir Albert Kaye Rollit, LL.D., D.C.L., M.P., who has acted as Honorary Solicitor and also to express their gratitude to Messrs. Ogden, Palmer, and Langton for their services as Honorary Accountants ; to Mr. Follett Pennell, the Honorary Auditor ; and to the London and South Western Bank, for the facilities afforded them in financial matters. \ The ancient British name of Britain, " Clas Merdin," the " sea defended green spot," shows the importance attached, even at that early date, to our insular position and, as a natural sequence, to our " first line of defence. 55 The earliest British ships were probably coracles constructed of twigs covered with ox hides, capable of containing three or four people and, in summer, of passing over to Ireland or across the Channel. There are but few pictorial representations of British or Norman vessels before the nth Century, but, so far as can be ascertained, the ships of the Saxon period were nothing but large undecked boats, never exceeding 50 tons burthen, and capable of carrying from 50 to 60 men. The poop and stern were elevated, they had one mast only, and were steered by paddles fixed to the quarter, the modern rudder not having been generally adopted until the end of the 13th Century; when not in use they were drawn up on shore. The necessity of repelling the attacks of the East Anglians and Northumbrians induced Alfred to build "long ships, 55 which had the merit of being swifter, steadier and higher than those pre- viously in use. The reign of Alfred forms a landmark in Naval History, as he was the first English sovereign who commanded the fleet in battle, and may therefore be described as the first admiral. After his death the Navy fell into great decay but his great grandson, Edgar, is said, on doubtful authority, to have claimed the title of " King of the Seas ; 55 but, however this may be, he may legitimately be considered to have originated the idea of " annual manoeuvres 5 ' which thus leap at once to a respectable antiquity ; his practice was b 2 xxxvi Introduction. every year to divide his fleet into two divisions, and circumnavigate the coast to prevent the incursions of pirates and "to train his people to wan" Canute owed his crown to the Navy, having been chosen king by the fleet ; probably a unique instance of such a power being exercised by the Navy. Originally, no doubt, the ships, such as they were, were used indiscriminately for war or commerce, but from an ordinance of Ethelred (978 — 1016), it appears that at that time there were already two distinct kinds of ships, those used for war being considered the property of the king. They were fitted out and manned by cities and towns according to an established rate, aided by a special tax or a grant from the king's revenue, e.g., if the king sent ships to sea twenty shillings were collected from every burgess of Lewes for the wages of the crews, and when the king went on an expedition twenty of the burgesses of the City of Oxford had to attend him or pay a fine of £20. By degrees the commercial duties of the fleet became subordinated to the military, but even after the institution of "king's ships" as a distinct and permanent force it was occa- sionally the practice to hire them out for commercial purposes in time of peace, and as late as the time of Henry VII. we find this convenient method of reducing the Navy Estimates resorted to. The part played by the Navy in the attempt to repel the invasion of William the Norman is somewhat obscure ; it is known that during the months in which the flotilla intended for the conveyance of the invaders was being collected, Harold kept the seas with a considerable fleet, but that before the actual crossing took place he was compelled to disband the whole or a considerable part on account of want of supplies. This fleet was largely composed ot vessels furnished by the Cinque Ports under their charters, and it is possible that the ships belonging to Romney were retained in commission and that they did good service, for it is somewhat grimly recorded that the first thing William did after his victory was to inarch to Romney, where " he took what vengeance he would for the slaughter of his men." Until the early part of the fourteenth century the " king's ships" were a mere skeleton force which required to be largely supple- mented in time of war ; the chief source of Naval strength lay in the ships which the Cinque Ports were bound by their charters to furnish. These towns— Hastings, Sandwich, Dover, Romney and Hythe— to which Winchelsea and Rye, officially known as "the two ancient towns " were added soon after the Conquest —furnished, Introduction. xxxvii in all, 57 ships, the complements of which, according to the Port Domesday Book, were a "rector" or master, a "constable" or boatswain, 21 men and a boy. For upwards of a century the history of the Cinque Ports is practically the history of the British Navy, so much so that the ships furnished by that confederation are frequently styled in the old records " the Royal Navy of the Cinque Ports." According to the representations in the Bayeux Tapestry and other records, the ships of the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth centuries were partially decked vessels of about 20 tons burthen, rigged with one mast and one large sail ; they were considerably curved at bow and stern, and when employed as fighting ships were fitted with "castles" (hence "forecastle") at either end; there was a smaller " castle," corresponding to the modern " top," on the top of the mast ; the ships were fitted with strong bows to enable them to ram the enemy, a favourite manoeuvre \ as to arms, each sailor was required to provide himself with two spears, one of them sufficiently long to reach from one vessel to another, and these he was directed to be careful not to lose in throwing ; his other offensive weapons were scythes fixed to long poles, axes, slings fitted to stalls, barbed darts, stones for heaving and a bow ; his defensive armour consisted of a thick breastplate of linen and a steel cap. The confederation of the " Cinque Ports " was at the height of its power during the reigns of John, Henry ML, and Edward L, but as the greed of colonisation awoke, the sphere of Naval opera- tions enlarged ; commerce opened out in all directions, and the Ports gradually lost their exclusive privileges. They still bore their share, and an important one, in the great victory of Sluys, but the conclusion of the reign of Edward III. saw their decay already far advanced. Those who would investigate further the causes of this decay will find them discussed at length in Professor M. Burrows's recent " History of the Cinque Ports." Gradually, under the fostering care of Henry V., Edward IV., and the 7th and 8th Henrys, a permanent and extensive King's Navy was formed, and the functions of the Cinque Ports subsided into the duty of transporting Royal personages across the Channel. Victories such as that of Sluys, although won at sea, were not Naval victories in the modern sense of the term — they were won after hand to hand fights between soldiers embarked for the occasion, led by officers who fought on sea or land indifferently, as occasion required. xxxviii Introduction. The foundations of the present system of a body of officers and men trained exclusively for the service of the Royal Navy, were laid by Henry VIII., who created the Navy Office and the Trinity House, and the dockyards at Portsmouth, Deptford and Woolwich, but the personnel of the Royal Navy was not regulated on its present lines until the time of the Stuarts, the first regulations for the examination for the rank of Lieutenant having been established in 1677. The exigencies of space render it impossible to do more than glance at the vicissitudes which the Navy has undergone since the reign of Henry VIII., the weakness to which it was reduced under the rule of Edward VI. and Queen Mary, the efforts made by Queen Elizabeth to restore it to an adequate strength, efforts which were in no small degree assisted by the confidence inspired by the brilliant exploits of Drake in his laudable endeavours to " singe the King of Spain's beard," and which bore their fruit in the marvellous defeat of the Armada ; the degradation and decay into which it fell during the reign of Charles II. when Pepys re- ported that the naval administration was a prodigy " of wastefulness, corruption, ignorance, and indolence, that no estimate could be trusted, that no contract was performed, that no check was en- forced." From such a picture we gladly turn to the record of the heroic courage of Sir Richard Grenville, the victories of Blake, Benbow, Howe, Rodney, St. Vincent, Boscawen, Duncan, Hawke and Nelson ; the adventurous voyages of Cabot, Frobisher, Raleigh, Drake, Anson, Cook, Byron and Franklin ; the brilliant exploits of Cochrane and Sir Sidney Smith and the constructive genius of Pett and Seppings. Nor is any record necessary beyond the recital of their names, "by their fruits ye shall know them." It is not too much to say that never before has such a collec- tion of mute but glorious witnesses to England's Naval Supremacy been gathered together, and in gazing at them it will be well to bear in mind the words of Sir Walter Raleigh :— k< England is a land which can never be conquered whilst the kings thereof keep the dominion of the sea."

Guide and Catalogue. i " It is on the Navy under the Good Providence of God, that our Wealth, Prosperity, and Peace Depend/ 1 These words have been inscribed above the Main Entrance to the Exhibition Buildings, and have been adopted as the motto in connection with the Exhibition. The sentence itself has been adapted from the preamble to the Naval Discipline Act (29 & 30 Vict. Cap. CIX.) better known as " The Articles of War,'' and it would be difficult to frame anything more appropriate to the Exhibition itself, or more in accordance with the glorious traditions and. history of that great Service which has called the Exhibition into existence. THE TROPHY Facing the main entrance has been erected from a design by Mr. Spanton, of H.M.S. ' < Britannia." The idea is to show on one side ancient, and on the other modern, weapons of war, &c, as used on board ship, while the figure of Britannia connects the past with the present. The statue was modelled by Mr. W. C. May for the Armada Memorial at Plymouth, and the cast has been kindly lent by him, together with the bas-reliefs on the pedestal. The arms, &c. , have been arranged by Mr. Rice of the Ordnance Wharf, Portsmouth, by whom also the pillars in front of the Trophy have been decorated. British Sea Commerce and Naval Responsibilities. The attention of the visitor, on entering, is drawn to the two diagrams on the wall on his right, which have been prepared bv Captain Sir Tohn Colomb, R.M.A., K.C.M.G.,M.P. 1.

Arts Section, *5 In continuation of the Franklin Gallery, and separated from it by a screen with ornamental iron gates, which are locked at night, is the NELSON GALLERY, running parallel with which on the south side, are the BLAKE AND BENBOW GALLERIES, and in these three galleries is located the ARTS SECTION. * The Insignia and Relics of the Cinque Ports represent the earliest naval righting force of the English nation of which we have any certain knowledge. The fleet of 57 ships which, in return for valuable franchises, the Cinque Ports undertook to provide was liable to military service for 15 days, whenever the King should call it out. For any extension of the time of service the King paid at a fixed rate. Each ship was required to carry a crew of 21 men and a boy ; each had a ''rector" or master, as well as a " constable," or boatswain. Thus their whole force consisted of 1,368 officers and men, to which the King appears to have added on occasion a contingent of troops. The form of these " ships " is ascertained from the Cinque Port Seals, some of which are exhibited. They seem in the earliest times to have varied from 20 to 60 tons burden, and were little more than large boats, partially decked, and rigged with one stout mast and one large square sail. From the fore-castle, after-castle, and top- castle, the archers and cross-bowmen discharged their missiles. To this fleet the Kings of England for some ages intrusted the guardian- ship of the English Channel ; it conveyed the King when he crossed the sea ; and it fought his battles. It was led by the Earl of Salisbury in 12 13 to victory at Damme, and won the decisive battle of Dover Straits under Hubert de Burgh in 121 7. It was unfairly matched against the whole of the French naval forces by King Henry III., and formed the advanced guard of Earl Simon de Montfort in the Barons' War. King Edward I. employed it in the Conquest of Wales and Scotland; and in 1293 it destroyed the French fleet in a pitched battle at St. Mahe. Even as late as the reign of King Edward III., when the Kings own ships began to be of some importance, the fleet of the Cinque Ports formed a chief part of the force led by the King at Sluys, at the Siege of Calais, and at the battle of Lespagnols-sur-Mer. At the end of his reign, and during that of King Richard II., the French revenged i6 Arts Section, themselves by burning the Cinque Port towns. This disaster, and still more the unceasing silting-up of the harbours, caused the gradual decay of the Confederation. Their last service of importance was performed against the Spanish Armada. The names of the confederated ports chartered by Edward the Confessor are Hastings, Sandwich, Dover, Romney, and Hythe ; King Henry II. added Winchelsea and Rye. Thus they are officially addressed as ' 'The Five Cinque Ports and Two Ancient Towns/' Soon afterwards they began to enrol other towns as ''Members" of the Confederation, 8 of them being Corporate, and 24 Non-Corporate, towns. Seaford, Pevensey, Fordwich, Deal, Folkestone, Faversham, Lydd, and Tenterden form the first group : Ramsgate, Walmer, Margate, and Brightlingsea alone of the second group, survive as places of any importance. The military character of the Confederation grew out of the organisation of the Kentish Coast-men for the Herring Fishery. For many centuries they held the guardianship of Yarmouth Fair, regulated by the King from time to time, and only relinquished in 1663. Their oldest institutions were connected with this office. Amongst their numerous franchises none was more cherished than their " Honours at Court," recited in the earliest charter now surviving, that of 1278. At Coronations the Barons of the Cinque Ports — a title which dates from the Norman reigns and is still in use — bore on the points of silvered spears a silken canopy, with a bell at each corner, over the King and Queen. At the feast which followed the Barons sat at the next table to the King on his right hand. It was as a Royal Navy that they had the precedence of every one else in Court Honours. This "custom" was "ancient" when King Richard the First was crowned, and has been regularly observed. The Cinque Ports still enjoy exceptional privileges, and at the last census included within their " liberties " a population of 174,279. But though the Cinque Ports were thus, from a very early period, the nucleus of the Navy of England, every ship and every seafaring man in the country was subject to be " arrested " for the King's service ; and the Lord Admiral's first duty on being appointed was to make himself acquainted with the number and names of available ships and men. In case of a general armament, many towns, besides the Cinque Ports, added their quota to the fleet ; and prominent among these, in the time of Edward III., were London, Bristol, Yarmouth, Southampton, Portsmouth, Poole, Dartmouth, Plymouth, Looe, and Fowey„ Poole and Dartmouth obtained a special notoriety as haunts of privateers, scarcely distinguishable from pirates. Dartmouth was the home of Chaucer's typical sailor, who " certeinly was a good felawe," although " Of nyce conscience took he no keep. If that he foughte and hadde the heigher hand, By water he sente hem hoom to every land ;" Arts Section. a reference to the ordinary way of disposing of prisoners ; and of Poole, it was said : — "If Poole was a fish-pool, and the men of Poole fish, There'd be a pool for the devil, and fish for his dish." In addition, however, to the force thus supplied by the maritime towns, there was always a certain varying contingent of King's ships, the establishment of which dated back as far as the days of Ethelred, or Alfred, or even earlier ; but was placed on a more distinct and permanent footing under Henry VIII. by the institution of the Trinity House at Deptford, and of the Board long known as the Navy Board. This was composed of the " Principal Officers of the Navy " — the Treasurer, Comptroller, Surveyor, and Clerk of the Acts — who, under the Lord Admiral, were responsible for the administration of the " Navy Royal," which, from the increase in the size ©f ships, rendered neces- sary by the use of cannon, became of continually greater importance in the measure of the country's naval strength. Out of the very numerous fleet assembled to oppose the "Invincible" Armada in 1588, the stress of the fighting fell almost entirely on the Queen's ships ; comparatively few of the others being able to match themselves against the Spaniards' huge galleons. This brilliant and glorious war gave a new impulse to the " Navy Royal : " the country seemed to have learned that in it lay its true power and most effective defence ; and many new ships of a large size, were added to it. But the financial difficulties of James I. and Charles I., and the troubles of the Civil War prevented its being maintained at an adequate strength ; and when the war with Holland broke out in 1652, the number of State's ships was very far below the nation's requirements. A great many merchant-ships were therefore hired for the public service ; and as it was found that, under the more stringent conditions of a purely naval war, there was some difficulty in regulating the conduct and discipline of their commanders, provision was made that in all cases the officers of such ships must be appointed and commissioned by the State. The Navy List thus began to assume a degree of permanence ; and during the succeeding Dutch wars, the code of discipline and organization took the form which it has since maintained. At the same time, the advantage of the larger and more powerful ships of the State, proved repeatedly in several of the battles with the Dutch, gave an impulse to the development of naval archi* tecture ; and after the Revolution, the number of merchant ships hired into the service was absolutely small, and the size of them inconsiderable ; they were seldom available except as cruisers or scouts. At this time, too, it was finally recognized that ships of small size were out of place in a general action ; the idea of fighting in line had been gradually developed, more especially in the actions between the combined English and French fleets and the Dutch in 1673, and the combined Dutch and Spanish i8 Arts Section. fleets and the French in 1676. It had thus come about that the strength of fleets was no longer counted in gross, as during the first and second Dutch wars, but by the number of " ships fit to lie in a line," an expression of 1690, which, by 1692, had settled down into " ships of the line of battle." This 4 Mine of battle," or "line ahead, close to the wind," was established as the only fighting formation, and was so recognised by all the Maritime Powers. It was formulated in a code of Fighting Instructions, which forbade any departure from the prescribed order ; and though experience showed that by adhering to it no definite advantage was to be gained, without a great superiority of numbers, and though Sir George Byng at Cape Passaro, in 1 718, and Sir Edward Hawke in Quiberon Bay, in 1759, showed how much was to be gained by a judicious violation of the rule, it continued in force till Sir George Rodney, by an accidental but distinct breach of it, in 1782, inflicted a decisive defeat on the French fleet off Dominica, and did away with the pedantry of prescribed formations and pre-ordered manoeuvres. Then came the era of Howe, St. Vincent, Duncan, and Nelson, who, no longer bound by the fetters of routine, gave free scope to their genius, and emblazoned on our history the glorious names of Ushant, St. Vincent, Camperdown, the Nile, Copenhagen, and Trafalgar — a continuous succession of brilliant victories, to which naval history offers no parallel. It would, however, be a grave mistake to suppose that during all these years, the work of our Navy is adequately described in the catalogue of its glories. It has, indeed, sufficed, on the comparatively rare days of battle, to withstand or crush the enemy's fleets or ships, and to win for itself undying renown ; but it has also sufficed, on every day of war, to maintain our coasts inviolate, to sweep the enemy's commerce from the seas, and to protect our own. It has often been said that, notwithstanding our great naval strength, our commercial losses were still very great. It is true ; but in estimating those losses the gains must also be reckoned. Our losses were great because our commerce was great ; because in time of war we had the practical monopoly of the commerce of the world ; because our mercantile shipping grew and developed in war, at the expense of our enemies ; and the losses we sustained, though great in absolute numbers or value, were trivial in comparison with the whole number and the sum total from which they were taken. But this, the all-important, the abiding work of our Navy, the ceaseless and grinding pressure which it has exercised on our enemies, the security of our shores, the increase of our commerce, the driving of hostile flags from the sea, cannot be adequately represented by the art to which our galleries are dedicated. The painter can indeed show the portraits of our heroes, or the representation — in fact or fancy — of some of their achievements. He can show " the blue flag bearing down on the white," and can give some idea of "the hawk-like swoop" in Quiberon Bay; he can show the slow advance Arts Section. *9 and terrible onslaught of the Victory or the Royal Sovereign at Trafalgar ; he can show how "Brave Broke, he waved his sword, Crying — ' Shannons, let us board ! ' " or, coming down to our own days, he can show the meaning of the signal " Well done, Condor ! " ; but nothing here can show the security, the peace, the wealth which has sprung, in only a less degree, from the every-day actions of every-day men, whose names were scarcely known beyond the walls of the Admiralty, but who were, none the less, the units which made up the grand whole of England's Navy, " the wall and fence of the kingdom." So far as circumstances have permitted, the portraits and battle pieces in the two larger galleries, Blake and Nelson, have been arranged in chronological order, and thus present a fairly complete view of the war services of the Navy, from the time of Henry VIII. The same idea has ruled in the arrangement of the water colours and engravings in the Benbow gallery ; where will also be found many humourous representations of the social life of the Navy. The Committee desire to convey their warmest thanks to all who have so cordially and liberally responded to their appeal, and have enabled them to bring together a collection of pictures and relics of naval interest, such as has never been equalled. The numbers commence in the North-East end of the Blake Galiefy, and continue from left to right to the East Entrance, then passing into the Nelson Gallery are continued on the South and North Walls respectively, and terminate on the screens commencing from the East end. The Works are Catalogued under the names given to them by the contributors. The Arts Committee accept no responsibility as to their authenticity.

WHO BEST CAN SUFFER, BEST CAN DO."~Milton. The Victorian Reign is unparalleled in the History of Great Empires for its Purity. Goodness, and Greatness ! ! ABOVE ALL S ! ! FEARLESS DEVOTION TO DUTY AND UNFLINCHING TRUTHFULNESS! THE QUEEN'S PRIZE! The conditions laid down by the QUEEN for the Prize given by HER MAJESTY to the Marine boys are these : — Cheerful Submission to Superiors ; Self-respect and Independence of Character ; Kindness and Pro* tection to the Weak; Readiness to Forgive Offence ; a Desire to Conciliate the Differences of others ; and, above all, Fearless Devotion to Duty and Unflinching Truthfulness. "Such principles, if evoked and carried into action, would produce an almost perfect moral character IN EVERY CONDITION OF LIFE." —Smiles. SHAKESPEARE AND DUTY* "Come the corners of the world in arms, And we shall shock them ; nought shall make us rue, IF ENGLAND TO HERSELF DO REST BUT TRUE." THE PIVOT OF DUTY— Sterling Honesty of Purpose ; without it Life is a Sham ! What Higher Duty can man attain, than Conquest over Human Pain ? IN THS BATTLE OF THIS LIFE ENO'S " FRUIT SAM " is an imperative hygienic need or necessary adjunct. It keeps the blood pure, prevents fever, and cures acute inflammatory diseases, and removes the injurious effects of stimulants, narcotics such as alcohol, tobacco, tea, coffee, by natural means ; thus restores the nervous system to its normal condition, by preventing the great danger of poisoned blbod and oveir- cerebral activity, sleeplessness, irritability, worry, &c. SUPERIOR TO AS-L OTHER SALINES.— " Dear Sir.— Having taken your 'FRUIT SALT many years, I think it right to tell you that I consider it a most invaluable medicine, and far stiperioi* to all othfer saline mixtures. I am never without a bottle of it in the house. It possesses three most desirable qualities^ pleasant to the taste, promptly efficacious, and leaves no unpleasant after effects."— A DEVONSHIRE LADY; — Jan. 25, 1889. " During the Afghan War we were before Kandahar, and had been reconnoitring the enemy's posi' ion with Colonel M 's splendid cavalry regiment, when, to our merriment, the colonel produced a bottle of ENO'S ' FRUIT SALT.' ' Take,' he said, 'an old soldier's advice ; ' so, to please him, we did. We emptied the bottle. And Colonel M gave another bottle to P 's men. We certainly slept soundly that ni^ht, and awoke fresh as paint. Two days afterwards, the colonel said at mess, ' You fellows laughed at me about ENO'S " FRUIT SALT," but it was mainly through that stuff I gave you, you did. such splendid deeds that day. ' Personally, said the colonel, ' I never felt better, and so do the officers of my regiment, and we were ready t® encounter half a dozen Ayoobs.' After that the colonel was always called 'Old Eno.'"— From '•'•MESS STORIES" by PROTEUS,//. 126, 227, published by Messrs. Simpkin, Marshall, &- Co., Stationers Hall Court, 1889.

The incident here depicted is thus described in Nelson's own words : — u On the quarter-deck of a Spanish first-rate, extravagant as the story may seem, did I receive the swords of vanquished Spaniards ; which, as I received, I gave to William Fearney, one of my bargemen ; who put them, with the greatest sang froid, under his arm. I was surrounded by Capt. Berry, Lieut. Pearson, of the 69th Regiment, John Sykes, John Thomson, Francis Cooke, all old Agamemnons ; and several other brave men, seamen and soldiers. Thus fell these ships." In a postscript he adds : ■ ' In boarding the San Nicolas (from which ship he crossed over to the San Josef), I believe we lost about seven killed and ten wounded, and about twenty Spaniards lost their lives by a foolish resist- ance — none were, I believe, lost in boarding the San Josef. There is a saying in the Fleet too flattering for me to omit telling, viz. , 1 Nelson's patent bridge for boarding first -rates,' alluding to my passing over an enemy's 80-gun ship.

The French ship Guillaume Tell, 80, with many troops on board, slipped out of Malta at 11 p.m., 30th March, i860. The Penelope, 44, Captain Blackwood, at once gave chase, came up with her at 12.30 a.m., luffed under her stern, gave her the port broadside, then bore up under the Guillaume TelPs po>t quarter, and gave her the star- board broadside. The French ship, aware that, if she brought to, the other ships of the British squadron (the Foudroyant, 84, and Lion, 64) would soon take part in the action, only replied with her stern chasers, and steered to the N.E. The Penelope continued all night, and at daybreak the main and mizen topmasts and the mainyard of the enemy came down. The Foudroyant and Lion came up and engaged, and at 8 a.m. the Guillaume Tell struck, after a most galLnt defence, the French Admiral refusing to surrender to any but an officer from the frigate. This picture was painted from the description of the action in the log of Mr. Charles Inglis, first lieutenant of the Penelope to whom Rear- Admiral Decres surrendered his sword.

The Fleet under Nelson, consisting of 13 seventy-fours and two smaller vessels, found the French Fleet, composed of 13 line-of-battle ships, four frigates, and two brigs, anchored in Aboukir Bay. The action com- menced at sunset, and was contested with the greatest bravery on both sides. About 10 o'clock the French Admiral's ship, L'Orient, of 120. guns, blew up with a tremendous explosion. Several of the enemy's ships continued the action, but eventually the whole were taken or des- troyed, except two linc-of-battle ships and two frigates.

This is the original by Dan. Maclise, R. A., preparatory to the wall- painting in Westminster Palace, a companion to that of Wellington and Blucher. The oil painting is still in possession of the Art-Union. The central point of the work, as a composition, is also the chief point of interest in the story told. Nelson, just wounded on the left side of the chest, lies supported in the arms of Captain Hardy, while Dr. Beattie, the surgeon, carefully seeks the position of the ball. Between the surgeon's face and Nelson's appears the handsome countenance of Lieutenant Ram, who was close by at the time. In front of Nelson is his favourite boatswain, holding out one of the enemy's flags, as if in reply to the question ' ' How many flags have been taken, Hardy ?"

Towards the close of the long French War, Captain the Honorable Sir Charles Paget, while cruizing in the Endymion Frigate on the coast of Spain, described a French ship of the line in imminent danger, embayed among rocks upon a Ice shore, bowsprit and foremast gone, and riding by a stream cable, her only remaining one. Though it was blowing a gale, Sir Charles bore down to the assistance of his enemy, dropped his sheet anchor on the Frenchman's bow, buoyed the cable and veered it athwart his hawse. This the disabled ship succeeded in getting in, and thus seven hundred lives were rescued from destruction. After performing this chivalrous action, the Endymion being herself in great peril, hauled to the wind, let go her bower anchor, club hauled and stood off shore on the other tack.

Lent by Richard Duckworth Dunn, Esq. 2008 H.M.S. Britannia, Jubilee Offering of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines to Her Majesty the Queen, 1837- 1887. The Britannia Model measures 25 ins. long, or, including the bowsprit and spankerboom, 31^ ins. To the top of the mainmast the height is 20 in. The ship is treated as though riding at anchor in harbour, the smooth water being represented by a sheet of uneven pale-green dull silvered glass. All the ports are open and the guns run out. The hammocks are all in the netting, and she carries nine boats, the launch, pinnace, and barge being hoisted inboard, two 10-oared cutters hang- ing from the davits, and the captain's gig in the water astern, attached to a Jacob's ladder by a painter. To indicate what the reduction to y-iTith of the full size means, her anchors may be instanced, which weighed 110 cwts., ; but in the model are only if ins. long, and weigh only a; of a troy ounce. Her 41 ft. launch is only a shade under 4 ins. long, and all the eye bolts and planking are distinctly shown. In the rigging about 5,000 ft. of wire are employed in making up the shrouds and stays and other ropes which are all three or four stranded according to their thickness, much of the wire used for the purpose being T .j ff of an in. diameter. Her masts, bowsprit, and yards are built up of over 450 pieces ; and in the ship and her fittings there are nearly 4,000 separate pieces of silver, b/azed and screwed and bolted together, including some 206 dead eyes and 200 blocks of various sizes. The elaborate stern with its galleries and carved side posts, and the hgure-head, have been accurately modelled from pictures of the old ship lent for the purpose by an officer who served in her. Many of the drawings from which the Britannia herself was constructed, dated 1812, have also served to build up the silver model of her. A model of the St. Vincent, made many years ago by Admiral Sir Robert Stopford, and those in Greenwich Museum, have afforded invaluable information, and the rigging is done with the assistance of an old blue- iacket. 2009 H.M.S. Victoria, Jubilee offering of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines to H.M. the Queen, 1837-1887. The Victoria is 34 ins. long, and has been made from a set of very exact and detailed drawings specially prepared for the purpose to the same scale as for the old three-decker, and supplied by Sir Wm. G. Armstrong, Mitchell & Co., so that complete accuracy has been ensured for the myriad details of this huge, 222 Plate, &c. [Blake Gallery 2009 — continued. complicated ironclad, with her revolving - turret and its guns, her electric search light towers, the flying bridge, anchors and boats, of which there are 13, four being steamers and nine rowing boats. The 56 ft. torpedo boat with which she is furnished, weighs in the model about 25 troy ounces. The huge Inglefie'ld anchor weighing several tons, would not be much too large in the model for a scarf pin, and yet every joint of it will move. The eight Nordenfelt guns, carriages and all, can be stood upon a florin, and weigh under half an ounce, and yet are made up of 118 separate pieces of silver. Each of the accommodation ladders is composed of 41 pieces. There are 136 stanchions to hold the rails round the sides of the ship, each with three holes drilled in it no larger than T Vfith part of an inch, and the whole weighing § of an ounce. These details of some of the p^rts com- prising these two models will serve to show the minuteness cf the work when such large objects as war ships and their fittings have to be reduced to model sizes. Altogether the two models have been built up of about 9,000 pieces, every one made to measurement. To fit these together about 5,000 separate solderings have had to be made, each time heating the parts to red heat, and something like 7,000 holes have had to be drilled. Both ships to complete required something like 20a working drawings, to the scale of T Vth of an inch to the foot, and had to be specially made of the different parts of the two ships, so as to ensure accuracy of form and proportion. The work was entirely carried out by R. Hodd & Son, at Minerva Works, 30 & 31, Hatton Garden, E.C.

He appears to have considered, however, that it was not much of a triumph tor the English, the retirement of the enemy being probably occasioned by the weather. 20^0 Portrait of " His Royal Highness James, Duke of York and Albany, &c."

The action was contested with great bravery and determination on both sides, and the slaughter was very great. Three persons of quality were killed by the side of the Duke of York, and soon afterwards Opdam was blown up and Cartemaar killed by a shot from the Duke of York's vessel. Sir John Lawson was wounded in the knee and subsequently died of his injuries. " Lawson whose valour beyond faith did go, " And still fights Opdam in the lake below." (Poems on State Affairs.)

Sir Christopher Myngs, beloved by his comrades, was killed in the action, and Ayscue taken prisoner. The slaughter on both sides was prodigious, and hardly a ship on either side escaped undamaged. De Witt, who was no friend to the English, is reported to have said of them in connection with this action, that " if they were defeated their misfortunes redounded more to their honour than all their former victories. No fleet but theirs, after the severe usage of the first clay, would have continued an engagement for three successive days longer. Englishmen may be killed, English ships may be burned, but English courage is invincible."

[Howe On leaving the ARTS SECTION the visitor finds himself in the HOWE GALLERY, containing a collection of exhibits which, as they could not well be classified in either of the Main Sections of the Exhibition, have all been collated here in the MISCELLANEOUS SECTION. One of the principal exhibits in this section is that relating to the Victualling and Clothing of the Royal Navy, and in connection therewith the following remarks will be of interest. VICTUALLING AND CLOTHING. The victualling of the Navy was formerly entrusted to Contractors under the direction of the Navy Board, a body of Commissioners distinct from, and subordinate to, the Board of Admiralty ; they met originally at an office on Tower Hill, whence they removed, in the time of the Commonwealth, to the Navy Office in Crutched Friars. In 1683, in consequence of the great abuses that arose, and the large profits made by the Contractors, the Navy Board took the victualling of the Fleet into their own hands, and deputed four of their number to carry it out. An office was allotted to them in the immediate vicinity of the Government store-houses on Tower Hill; but in 1742, the store-house accommodation being found to be quite inadequate, the whole of the manufactories, etc., were removed to Deptford, the Victualling Office itself being transferred to Somerset House. In 1832 the Victualling Board was abolished and a Comptroller of Victualling appointed, a title changed, in 1869, to Superintendent, and, in 1878, to Director, ot Victualling. In 1869-70 the Victualling Office was removed from Somerset House to the Admiralty, Whitehall. The three principal home Victualling Establishments are the Royal Victoria Yard at Deptford, the Royal Clarence at Gosport, and the Royal William at Plymouth ; in addition to these there is one on a smaller scale at Haulbowline (Queenstown) which, within the last few years, has received the name of the Royal Alexandra Yard ; there is also a Victualling Yard at Malta, and Victualling Depots at Gibraltar, Halifax, Bermuda, Jamaica, Cape of Good Hope, Trincomalee, Hong Kong, Esquimalt, and Sydney. At each of the three large Home Yards, manufactories of Biscuit, Flour, Oatmeal, Casks, etc., are carried on, and at Deptford, in addition, are manufactured the whole of the Chocolate, Mustard, and Pepper used in the Royal Navy ; at Deptford also is received a large proportion of the articles Gallery] Miscellaneous Section. 353 obtained by contract, such as Seamen's Clothing, Rum, Tobacco, Lime juice, Salt and Preserved Meat, Medical comforts, and the various items which find a place in the Victualling and Clothing Scale of the seamen of the Fleet. These articles, after they have been examined, are packed at Deptford, and distributed to the other Home Yards and the various Depots abroad, the situation of Deptford, in the immediate vicinity of the Docks, rendering it peculiarly suitable for such a purpose.

Lent by the Corporation of Trinity House, London* 4106 Model of the First Eddystone Lighthouse. First proposed to the Trinity House by Mr. Walter Whitfield in 1691, and built at his expense in 1694, in consideration of certain dues granted under patent from the Crown. Mr. Henry Winstanley, of Littlebury in Essex* designed and carried out the work, from which a light was first exhi- bited in October, 1698. In the following year he strengthened the tower and raised it 40 feet, or to a total height of 120 feet. The 1 finished structure is shown in the model, and was continued ' ' with great reputation " until the great storm of 26th November, 1703, during which it was destroyed, and the brave and devoted constructor, who hap= pened to be there at the time, with workmen and keepers, perished. " Many fair tombs in the glorious glooms At Westminster they show ; The brave and the great lie there in state — Winstanley lieth low." (yean Ingelozv.) 4107 The Second Eddystone Lighthouse. The Winstanley Lighthouse having been destroyed by a great storm in 1703, the structure shown in the model was designed and completed by Mr. John Rudyerd, a silk mercer of Ludgate Hill, aided by two experienced shipwrights, Messrs. Smith and Norcott, from Woolwich dockyard. The tower was of Wood, built around a core of solid moorstone (granite) in the base. Its greatest diameter was about 24 feet, and the whole height from the P 2 3 66 Navigation Section. [Cook Lent by the Corporation of Trinity House — continued. lowest side of the top of the ball was 92 feet. The light consisted of 24 candles, of which five weighed 2 lbs., and was first kindled 28th July, 1708. The Lighthouse was accidentally destroyed by fire in 1755, when the keepers were rescued by boats from the shore, narrowly escaping with their lives. 4108 The Third Eddystone Lighthouse. After the burning of Rudyerd's wooden tower in 1755, on ^ ne recommendation of the Royal Society, the lessees placed the work of reconstruction in the hands of Mr. John Smeaton, a member of that Society, distinguished by his inventions in mechanical improvements. He determined to build the tower entirely of stone, each block dovetailed into its neighbours, so as to make the tower practically solid. Work was commenced at the rock on 5th August, 1756 ; the first stone laid June 12th, 1757, the last on 24th August, 1759, and the light exhibited by candles as before on 1 6th October, 1759. Candles were superseded by oil lamps and reflectors in 1810, and a lenticular apparatus adopted, 1845. 4109 The Fourth Eddystone Lighthouse. The portion of the gneiss rock on which Smeaton's tower rested having been seriously shaken by the sea, the Trinity House found it necessary to build another tower on a portion of the rock eastward of the existing light. The new tower was built, from the design and under the superintendence of Sir James Douglass, F.R.S. , by Mr. Thomas Eclmond and Mr. W. T. Douglass, resident engineers. First stone laid on August 19th, 1879, and the last on 1st June, 1881, both by His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh. The base is 44 feet in diameter ; the light, which is lenticular in bi-form, is 331 feet above high-water spring tides. 41 10 Ancient Pharos. The tower here represented is now standing within the Castle Yard at Dover, and is mentioned by many early writers, Somner, Leland, Camden, &c. , as the remains of a Roman Pharos. It fell into ruin in the early part of the 1 8th century, but was recently restored by the Royal Engineers. The model was presented to the Trinity House by General Collinson, R. E. 41 1 1 Smalls Rock Lighthouses. First and Second. The old light was exhibited from a wooden structure built in 1778 by Mr. Henry White- side, which was removed in 1 86 1 when the new light was built of granite, from the design and under the superintendence of James Walker, Esq., F.R.S., by Mr. (now Sir) James N.

The Australian Irrigation Colonies (Charley Brothers) offer a pleasant occupation, a healthy life, a cheerful home, a soil of unequalled fertility — producing by irri- gation results unparalleled in the annals of Horticulture — comfort, civilization, and material prosperity combined. They consist of half-a-million acres, in the sunny and salubrious climate of Victoria, and South Australia, on the great River Murray, which affords an abundant supply of fertilizing water for the Irrigation of Vineyards and Fruit Farms, and for the production, in assured quantity and excellence, of Grapes, Oranges, Lemons, Olives, Apricots, Figs, and other Fruits (already so suc- cessfully grown in Australia), by Cultivators with large and small Capital, holding from Ten to Eighty Acres and upwards. The Wines and Fruits of Australia are now in extensive demand in British and Colonial Markets, and there is a practically unlimited field for such production under most profitable conditions to the Settlers.

This model repre- sents the first Light Ships moored on the English coast for the guidance of Mariners ; two were fitted out by Mr. Robert Hamblin and Mr. David Avery, one placed to mark the Nore Sand, River Thames, and one off the Dudgeon Shoal, Norfolk. 41 1 4 Goodwin Light Ship, 1795. 4115 Parabolic Reflector for Lighthouses or Light Vessels. The Reflector is made of copper, of 21 inches aperture, upon the principle first applied by Captain Sir Joseph Huddart, F.R. S. , an Elder Brother of the Trinity House ; it is silvered on the inside, and burnished. For a shore light it is fixed on a framework, but in light vessels it is hung upon gimbals. 41 16 Maplin Pile Lighthouse. Built in 1838, on iron screw piles on the north side of the Thames Estuary, under the direction of James Walker, Esq., F. R. S. , then Engineer-in-Chief to the Trinity House. The Light is 36 feet above high water. The piles are all screwed 14 feet into the sand by Mitchell's patent screw, four feet diameter. The separate model represents the lower portion of the pile. 41 17 Piano-Convex Lens. Used in Portland Lighthouses, Dorsetshire, in the year 1789. 4118 Facet Reflector.

Built in place of an uncompleted iron structure from designs by James Walker, Esq., F.R.S. , by Mr. Nicholas Douglass, assisted by Mr. (now Sir) J. N. Douglass, F.R. S., completed in 1858. The light was no feet above high water. 4120 Bishop Rock Present Lighthouse. In consequence of injuries sustained through excessive strains, the Trinity House found it necessary to encase the tower then existing with granite masonry, and increase the height of the light by 20 ft. , which was successfully carried out by Mr. W. T. Dougtass, under the supervision of Sir James N. Douglass, F.R.S., and finished in 1889. 4121 Model of St. Catherine's Lighthouse. Originally established in 1780, reduced in height as a precaution against landslip in 1840, and furnished with an electric light in 1888. It is believed to be the most powerful electric light in the world. 4121A Model of the Needles Lighthouse. The Light which had been exhibited since 1780 from a Tower on the Isle of Wight was frequently obscured by Fog. It was therefore transferred in 1858 to the present structure built on the rock itself. This Tower was designed by Mr. James Walker, F.R.S. , and was carried out under the superintendence of Mr. Thomas Ormiston, M.Inst.C.E. The works were frequently inspected during progress by H.R.FI.

Commenced 1838, finished 1844. 4135 North Unst Lighthouse. Situated on the Rock Muckle Flugga (the most northern point of Her Majesty's Dominions), Shetland. It is built on an outlying rock of a conical form called a "Stack," rising to the height of 200 feet above high water, to which height the sea has been known to rise with such force as to knock down the boundary walls and break the doors open. Its northern face is nearly perpen- dicular, and exposed to the full fetch of the Northern Ocean ; the southern face is a steep rocky slope, which, previous to the cutting of steps in its surface, could only be scaled with difficulty. The top of the rock affords little more area than is sufficient for the site of the lighthouse. A temporary light was erected in 1854 for the guidance of the Baltic Fleet, and the permanent station was completed in 1858. Designed and executed by David Stevenson, F. R. S. E. , M.Inst.C.E., Engineer to the Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses. 4136 Facet Parabolic Reflector. As used in the earliest Scottish Light- houses in 1787 by Thomas Smith, Engineer to the Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses. 4137 Silver Plated Parabolic Reflector. With sliding lamp to secure accurate focussing. Designed by Robert Stevenson, Engineer to the Northern Lighthouse Board, 181 1. 4138 Skerryvore Catadioptric Revolving Apparatus. With Fresnel's lenses, but extended to 56° in altitude. The light is received and col- lected into eight horizontal beams by the principal lenses ; the. light which would escape above them is collected into eight inclined beams by small lenses, and reflected to the horizon by inclined mirrors. The lower part of the light is sent equally to all parts of the horizon by Alan Stevenson's prismatic rings of glass, which act as mirrors. The rings at Skerryvore are the first that were made of the largest or first Order size. Designed by Alan Stevenson, LL.B., F.R.S.E., M.Inst.C.E., Engineer to the Northern Lighthouse Board, ^th of full size. 4139 First Order Holophotal Revolving Apparatus. The central part of this apparatus consists of eight lenses. The light which passes above and below these lenses is collected into eight horizontal beams by annular shaped reflecting prisms. These reflecting prisms were substituted for the inclined lenses and mirrors of Fresnel's first Order revolving apparatus by Thomas Stevenson, and were first used at Singapore in 1849, on a small scale, and on a large scale at North Ronaldsay, in Orkney, in 1851, both designed by Messrs. Stevenson, ith of full size. 4140 Fixed Azimuthal Condensing Light.

It is used at nine Lighthouses in the Western Highlands of Scotland, where small apparatus has been made to produce in those particular azimuths (where alone great power is required) effects equal to much larger apparatus, consuming proportionately large quantities of oil. 4141 Azimuthal Condensing Ships' Light, designed to distribute the whole light equally over ten points of compass, in accordance with the Board of Trade requirements. Applied first in 1866 to the Pharos, Northern Lighthouse Steamer. Designed by D. and T. Stevenson, Engineers to the Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses. 4142 Hyper-Radiant Lens of I330 mm ' in place of 920™™- radius, suggested by Messrs. Stevenson in 1869, with the view of utilizing to the full the flame from the larger diameter of burners recently introduced, this, the first lens of its size, was made to Messrs. Stevenson's design in 1885, and tried at the South Foreland experiments the same year, when it was found to be optically the most efficient lighting apparatus yet made, and has since been introduced into numerous lighthouses at home and abroad. 4143 Dioptric Holophote. This apparatus was designed by Thomas Stevenson for Lighthouse Illumination. It collects all the light of the lamp into one beam of parallel rays solely by means of glass. The apparatus constituting the front half of the instrument bends the light that falls upon it into a beam of parallel rays, while the prisms which constitute the back half are so formed as to prevent any light from passing through, and to cause every ray to return back to the flame, and to be finally transmitted through the front half, so as to increase the intensity of the emergent beam. A red ball is fixed on a wire so as to be in focus to illustrate the action of the instrument. To an observer the front half of the apparatus will appear full of red light, but in the back half no red is to be seen, though the wire which carries the ball, not being in focus, is distinctly visible. 4144 Dhu Heartach Lighthouse. Situated on a rock on the West Coast of Scotland, exposed to the force of the Atlantic Ocean, and fourteen miles from Iona, the nearest land. Designed and executed by D. and T.

In the year 1 714, Sir Isaac Newton, in a paper read to the House of Commons, mentioned various schemes proposed for rinding the longitude at sea. He stated that the simplest method would be to use a watch or clock which would keep correct time, in spite of the ship's motion, the variation of tem- perature, the charge of gravity, etc., but that such a watch had not yet been made. A Bill drawn up by General Stanhope was passed to the effect — (1.) That a reward should be granted to any person inventing a means to discover the Longitude at sea. Gallery] Navigation Section. 38i (2.) That a Committee (the Board of Longitude) should be appointed to judge such inventions. (3.) That a reward of ^"10,000 should be granted to any person deter- mining the Longitude to within one degree of a great circle, or 60 geographical miles. 4.) That a reward of ^15,000 should be granted for a determination of the Longitude to within 40 geographical miles. (5,) That a reward of ^"20,000 should be granted for a determination of the Longitude to within 30 geographical miles. (6.) That the machine should be tested by a voyage to some port in the West Indies. Mr. John Harrison applied himself with great industry to the improvement of timekeepers, and in 1 726 succeeded in making a pendulum clock which kept excellent time. By 1736 he had made various modifications, and introduced them in a machine which performed very well on a voyage to Lisbon. A second and improved machine was made in 1739, and in 1758 he had completed a third and smaller machine. Neither of these went on a voyage, for in 1759 he had completed a fourth of comparatively small size, and of entirely different construction. This watch or time-keeper (now exhibited) after two successful voyages to the West Indies, finally procured for him the prize of ^"20,000. It is not a chronometer as we understand the term at the present day. The modern chronometer is the result of several improvements, made in rapid succession, of which a general idea may be obtained from the specimens exhibited. 4261 Harrison's Machines for measuring time (Nos. 1 and 2). No. I is Harrison's second attempt. He had made in the previous year a machine on the same principle which performed very well on a voyage to Lisbon. In these machines, two straight rod balances vibrate in opposite directions, so that the effect of the ship's motion on one would be counteracted by its effect. on the other. Date, 1737. 4262 No. 2 is Harrison's next attempt. It is smaller in size, and the straight rod balances are replaced by plain wheel balances. Date, 1758. Neither of these machines went on a voyage. 4263 Harrison's Timekeeper. This watch or time-keeper, which gained for itc inventor the reward of ,£20,000, was finished in 1 761, and on Nov. 18, 1 76 1, sailed in the " Deptford " for Jamaica, where the ship arrived Jan. 19, 1762. The Longitude of Port Royal as shewn by the watch, only differed five seconds (about one nautical mile) from the truth ; and on its return to Portsmouth the watch was only in error 1 min. 54*5 sec, equivalent to 18 nautical miles. In 1764 another voy- age was made to Barbados, where it was found to be only 43 seconds in error, equivalent to about 1 1 nautical miles. On its return it was found to have gained only 54 seconds in the whole voyage of 156 days. It has a plain balance, the effect of temperature on the balance and spring being corrected by a compensation curb (brass and steel lamina) acting on the spring. 382 Navigation Section, [Cook 4263 — con tin tied. John Harrison was born at Faulby, Yorkshire, 1693. He lived for some time at Barrow, in Lincolnshire, as a carpenter. He devoted his whole life to horology, and in 1735 came to London, where he made the two machines exhibited. Besides gaining the prize of ^20,000 for his watch, he made many improvements in horology, and is credited with the invention of the gridiron pendulum in 1726, and of the going fusee. He died in 1776. 4264 Chronometer by Larcum Kendall, an apprentice to Harrison. This was made on the pattern of Harrison's, as evidence that another maker could construct a chronometer satisfactorily from Harrison's designs, in accordance with the conditions of the award of ^"20,000.

These instruments are of fine workmanship. Mudge was born in 1 7 1 5, died, 1794. He invented the lever escapement. 4267 Chronometer, by John Arnold, fitted with a helical balance spring, and a new form of escapement, both devised by Arnold himself. The escapement is now superseded by that of Earnshaw. Arnold was born, 1744, died, 1799. 4268 Chronometer by Earnshaw, who invented the spring detent escapement and compensation balance, both substantially as now used. Earnshaw was born 1749, died 18 14. 4269 Chronometer by E. J. Dent, shewing the balance invented by him. Mr. E. J. Dent constructed the Westminster Clock.

Turning to his right at the end of the COOK GALLERY, the Visitor will at once find himself in the SEPPINGS GALLERY, so named after Sir Robert Seppings, an eminent Naval Architect, who filled the office of Surveyor of the Navy in the reign of George IV. The contents of this gallery are of peculiar interest, consisting principally of Models of Marine Engines, and of Ships' Boats, Rafts, &c. In the case of the former the collection is necessarily not very large, but is compensated for by the im- portance and representative character of the exhibits. In the case of the Ship Models, however, there can be no question that so valuable and complete a collection has never before been got together. MARINE ENGINES. The first attempt at applying steam-power to propel a vessel has been attributed to Blasco de Garay, who in 1543 is said to have propelled a boat of 200 tons displacement at a speed of one league per hour. In 1690 a proposal to propel a boat by steam was made by Denis Papin and the engine actually constructed, but it was destroyed by boatmen of the Weser before being put into use. About 1787 an engine was constructed by William Symington and fitted to a double boat belonging to Patrick Miller, of Dalswinton, which was driven by means of a paddle-wheel placed between the two parts of the boat. The trial was made in 1 788 and was successful. In 1801 Symington constructed for Lord Dundas the " Charlotte Dundas " which was worked for some time on the Forth and Clyde Canal. This boat was fitted with a single paddle- wheel placed near the stem, driven by a horizontal direct acting engine with connecting rod and crank. In 1807 Robert Fulton, in America, produced the "Clermont" which was propelled by paddle-wheels driven by an engine of 20 H. P. 400 Models Section, Sub-Division — Marine Engines. [SeppillgS The first passenger steamer in Europe, the " Comet," ran on the Clyde between Glasgow and Greenock. She was constructed in 1812 by Henry Bell. The engines were of a design somewhat similar to the side lever engines of a later day. Steam vessels were introduced into the Royal Navy about 1827. On December the 4th of that year three small paddle steamers, called respectively the "Echo," "Lightning," and "Meteor," were commissioned. The engines of these boats were of 100 nominal horse-power, and are well represented by Model (1) in Messrs. Maudslay's collection. Between this date and 1840, seventy other steam vessels were added to the Navy, the majority being fitted with flue boilers and side lever engines, Working with a steam pressure of 4 lbs. per square inch above the atmosphere. A simple type of engine for driving paddle-wheels is that known as the Oscillating Engine, which was first adopted for marine purposes by Messrs. Maudslay, and subsequently perfected by Mr. John Penn. In this type of engine the connecting rod is dispensed with, the piston rod being connected directly with the crank, thus economising space as far as possible. This is the type now largely adopted for paddle-wheel vessels, and is illustrated by models No. 1 of Messrs. Penn's collection and No. 9 of Messrs. Maudslay's, the latter being a model of the engine fitted to H.M. Yacht "Osborne." Another type of engine used for driving paddle-wheels was Messrs. Maudslay's Double Cylinder Engine, in which the crosshead passed down between the cylinders, having a journal at its lower end to which the con- necting rod was attached. This type is illustrated by model 2 in Messrs. Maudslay's collection, and was fitted by them to nine ships of the Royal Navy between 1840 and 1846. A modification of this type is represented by models 3 and 4 in Messrs. Maudslay's collection, in which the crosshead works in a cylinder co- axial with the steam cylinder. No. 3 is suitable for paddle-wheels, and No. 4 for screw propulsion. Between 1840 and 1850, tubular boilers were introduced. These were made much lighter and more compact than the flue boiler, and the working pressure of steam raised to from 10 to 15 lbs. per square inch above the atmosphere. During the same period the substitution of the screw propeller for the paddle- wheel began to grow general, and its adoption necessitated a higher speed of propeller shaft than in the paddle-wheel vessels. This was first obtained by gearing the engine, as it was not then possible to drive the piston at the high speed necessary for connecting the engine direct to the propeller shaft. Improvements were, however, soon made, so that the speed of piston could be sufficiently increased to allow the crank and propeller shaft to be directly connected. In this case the close proximity of the cylinders to the centre line of the ship when the engines were horizontal made it difficult to get a connecting Gallery] Models Section. Sub-Division —Marine Engines. 401 rod of suitable length to work between the cylinder and the crank. To over- come this difficulty two types of engines were introduced. One was the trunk engine invented by the late Mr. John Penn, in which a large hollow trunk fixed on the piston was substituted for the piston rod and the connecting rod attached directly to a journal in the centre of the piston itself. The other was the Return Connecting Rod Engine in which there were two or four rods to each piston passing symmetrically above and below the crank shaft to the opposite side of the ship. The further ends of these rods were fixed to a cross-head having a journal at its centre from which the connecting rod worked back to the crank. The first of these two types is shown by Model No. (2) of Messrs. Penn's icollection which represents the engines of H.M.S's. " Minotaur " and " Northumberland," made in 1865. The second is illustrated by Models (5), (6), (7) and (8), of Messrs. Maudslay's collection. Between 1851 and i860, Messrs. Maudslay fitted 42 ships of the Royal Navy with engines similar to No. (5); 13 similar to No. (6) between 1854 and 1861 ; four similar to No. (7) in 1861 and 1862 ; and 6 similar to No. (8) between i860 and 1865. It may be remarked that several ships were still successfully fitted by Messrs. Humphrys, Tenant & Co., with the direct acting type of engine, This firm has also in recent years made very many engines for ships of the Royal Navy. Model (11) represents a horizontal engine, direct acting, as fitted in the Danish frigate " Thor" in 1850. The majority of steam-ships built during the years 1850 and i860 were with horizontal screw propeller engines having jet condensers and working with a steam pressure of 20 to 25 lbs. About i860 the adoption of surface condensation became general, and this by considerably reducing the element of danger due to the deposition of solid matter on the heating surfaces rendered the use of high pressure steam possible and led to the introduction of compound engines and cylindrical boilers. The increase in the pressures of the steam made compound engines, in which the expansion is carried out in two cylinders, a necessity, and the first ship of the Royal Navy fitted with them was the i ' Constance " whose engines were constructed in 1863, by Messrs, Elder & Co., of Glasgow. Model No. (3) in Messrs. Penn's collection represents a three cylinder simple expansion engine, which can by an adjust- ment of the stop valves be converted into a compound engine, made by Messrs. Penn in 1876, for the Royal Italian Vessel " Christoforo Colombo." No. (12) of Messrs. Maudslays Models represents a set of Vertical Compound Engines, fitted by them in White Star Company's vessels " Britannic " and four others in 1870 and 1 87 1, and also in several ships of the French Transatlantic Company. As the pressures of steam increased above 100 lbs. per square inch the variation of temperature in each cylinder of the compound engine became so great as to prevent the full economy due to the high pressure and consequent great expansion being attained, on account of the loss from lique- 402 Models Section. Sub-Division— Marine Engines, faction. To meet this difficulty, Mr. A. C. Kirk, of the firm of Messrs. Napier & Sons, Glasgow, introduced the triple expansion engine in which the expansion is carried out in three stages in separate cylinders, thus reducing the range of temperature in each cylinder. A set of these engines was fitted in 1874, to the S.S. " Propontis " working with a steam pressure of 150 lbs. per square inch, and gave good results, but very little further was done in this direction until in 188 1, when Mr. Kirk fitted a set of triple expansion engines on board the S.S. ' ' Aberdeen," the results in this instance were so satisfactory that other engines of this type soon followed and are now generally adopted. All the recent ships built for the Royal Navy are fitted with triple expansion engines. The photograph in Messrs. Penn's collection represents the engines of this type now being fitted in H.M.S's. " Sappho" and " Scylla," they are twin screw of 900 I. H. P., with a working pressure of 155 lbs. per square inch. The Model exhibited by Messrs. Hawthorn, Leslie & Co., is a good specimen of this type of engine. H.M. S. Blenheim" (9000 tons displace- ment) now being built at the Thames Iron Works is fitted with twin screws, each screw being driven by two sets of engines of this type which are guaranteed to develop a total power of 20,000 horses.

The Models exhibited may be regarded as forming two groups, one consisting of ships built for war purposes, and belonging almost exclusively to the British Navy ; and the other, of ships exhibited by the various Shipbuilding Firms in the British Empire. The models in the second group include many types of war vessels, and the finest ships in the Mercantile Marine. These models are for the most part prepared in the best style of modellers' work. Many of the models in the first group have been prepared for the use of the designers, and not for exhibition. They illustrate the gradual increase in offensive and defensive power, and the changes which have been caused by the introduction of steam power for propulsion, and armour for defence. Ships often undergo many changes in rig, armament, and appearance, during their existence ; and Officers and Men who have served in the ships must be prepared to find in the models occasional variations from the conditions with which they were familiar in the ships. Indices for Guidance in Seeing the Models of Ships. There is an Alphabetical Index of Ships' Names on page 441 and following pages, which includes every Ship represented. This index gives the Catalogue Number of the Exhibit. Some of these are in the Historical Series, formed mainly of loans from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, but including also a few good models lent by private persons. Many others are included in Trade Groups, So far as these last are concerned a description of each ship represented is included in that of the General Exhibit of the Shipowner or Shipbuilder. Historical Series. All the ships included in this series are described in the following pages. ^ In this series there is a good collection of models of Ships of War of the eighteenth century, some of British design, and some captured ships. Of seventeenth century ships there are three models, viz., the " Royal Sovereign," the " Royal William," and the " Ruby." Of sixteenth century ships there are only the very doubtful models of the " Great Harry." The Scale of Models. The models are made upon very different scales, and although the scale is usually^ stated upon the model, visitors may find a difficulty in appreciating the various sizes of the ships. To meet this difficulty a number of miniature models of existing British Ships have been made upon an uniform scale ; and it will be easy by studying this group (No. 4725) to realise the differences in size of the various ships shown on larger scales in the Exhibition.

St. Vincent Gallery] Ordnance Section. 467 Having now completed the tour of the Main building, the Visitor will find himself opposite the exit into the grounds, and in order to complete the round of the galleries, should proceed at once to the ST. VINCENT GALLERY, situated on the North side of the grounds, and containing the exhibits of the ORDNANCE SECTION. The exhibits appertaining to this section are located in the St. Vincent, Armstrong, and a portion of the Camperdown Galleries respectively ; they have been selected to illustrate, as far as practicable, the history of Naval War materiel. Naval Gunnery, as a science, dates from a very recent period, viz., 1S32, when a gunnery school, H.M. Ship "Excellent," was established at Ports- mouth, under Captain Sir Thomas Hastings ; previous to that date, every Captain of a man-of-war had his own system of Drills and fitted his own appliances to the guns. Up to the early part of this century, there were no tangent or despart sights, without which, it is needless to say, no good or certain practice could take place. In the old wars, the Captain of ' 'The Duke," Sir Charles Douglas, and the Captain of the ' 'Shannon," Sir G. Broke, took great interest in developing the gunnery resources of their ships, the former introducing flannel cartridges (i.e., cartridges made up in flannel) and "sights." So also in later years the "Illustrious" was noted for her gunnery proficiency, but there was no central organisation or uniform system of Naval gunnery till very recently. In the St. Vincent and Armstrong Galleries, specimen guns have been arranged in chronological order from the time of Henry VI. , culminating with the very latest weapons and their appliances. Of the earlier types of guns but little can be said ; they were all of " Smooth. Bore," projecting round shot, with little accuracy; and it was not till the Crimean War, and about the year i860, that changes began, to which, up to the present date, there is apparently no finality. Rifling and Breech-loading were then adopted in guns designed by Sir W. Armstrong; and to withstand the increased stress, these were built, instead of being cast, with coils of wrought iron round a central tube. The system of Breech-loading at first introduced proved unreliable, and about 1865 muzzle-loading (R. M. L.) was again resorted to. The chief drawback to this system of loading is the necessity, in ship work, for short barrels, and the consequent impossibility ot developing power by the burning 468 Ordnance Section. [St. Vincent. of large charges of powder ; the result being that only small charges, relative- to the weight of the projectile, could advantageously be used, and the Initial? Velocity {i.e., the velocity with which the projectile leaves the bore of the- gun), on which so much depends, was correspondingly low — seldom exceeding' 1,400 feet per second. Several expedients — the chief one being the enlarge- ment of the chambers— were resorted to, to overcome this defect, but no reali success accrued therefrom. About 1882 it became evident that if we were to have a Naval Artillery- of any power, breech-loading (B.L. ) should take the place of muzzle-loadings at least in heavy guns ; and from this dates our present system, which is- continually being improved. Its chief feature is the method of closing the breech by a screw plug, the- screw being interrupted ; a pad of asbestos, placed between tin discs with steel rings at the end of the plug, is so fitted as to prevent the escape of gas. to the rear when the charge is ignited ; and another feature, as concerns theh the loading of these guns on board ship, is the admissibility of longer barrels,, by which means a slow burning powder and larger charges can be used, with* a consequent gain in increase of energy. Guns, with calibres of 4 in. to i6j in.,, designed on this principle are now used on board ship, but the "life" of the- larger guns is rendered very precarious, owing to the wear and tear of the tube- by erosion of the gas evolved from the combustion of such necessarily large- charges of powder. Quick Firing Guns. Guns of this type have one barrel, and are to be seen among the exhibits, of the Armstrong Company and the Maxim-Nordenfelt Company respectively. They have been designed successfully up to a calibre of 6 ins., projecting at 100 lb. missile at the rate of six per minute, and in the lower calibres as. quickly as 30 per minute. This rapidity is effected by the "charge" (both. Powder and Projectile) being made up in a metal case, which has moreover- many incidental advantages. These guns have been introduced into the Naval service as the best antidote to the attack of torpedo boats. Machine Guns. These guns are represented in the Naval Service in various types, e.g., Gatling 10 barrel, Nordenfelt four and five barrel, Gardner five and two barrel,, and the Maxim-Automatic. In some of these the barrels are disposed round a^ central axis, in others they are disposed horizontally. They can be fired as. slowly or as rapidly — up to 600 rounds per minute — as is required. The charge, like that of the Quick-Firing gun, is compound, and the rapidity of fire is governed by the system of "feed," i.e., the supply of cartridges to the barrel. In the automatic gun, or maximum design, the recoil after discharge is utilised to perform the subsequent operations of load- ing and firing. The characteristics of Quick-Firing and Machine guns, are lightness and Gallery] Ordnance Section. 469 Tapidity of fire and service by a small number of men, which are invaluable qualities in the presence of swarms of torpedo boats, and uncovered men. Mountings. Under this heading are comprised the various means by which the fire of the guns is directed and controlled. In early days, up to even a recent period, guns were mounted on wooden carriages which were worked by hand- spikes (wooden levers) for training, and tackles for running them "in and out of the ports," breechings (thick rope) being used to control the energy of the recoil. Later on, the mounting for heavy guns took the form of a oarriage and slide, the latter affording greater facility for directing the gun, and also of absorbing its recoil by means of compressors, it being observed that with muzzle loading guns it was necessary to retain the gun inboard after •each discharge, to perform the operation of loading. With the present B. L. guns the reverse is required; the recoil is absorbed by hydraulic pressure and the gun then returns automatically to its loading position. Lateral motion is obtained by meanr of geared pinions working in a racer on the deck, and vertical motion is given to the gun by geared wheels. With guns up to 10 ins., hand power actuates both these motions ; but with fieavier natures, which are mounted generally in pairs, in turrets, or on barbettes, hydraulic power is used, and armour is employed to protect the necessary machinery. Explosives. Powder. Gunpowder and gun cotton are the only explosives used in the British Naval Service, the former being used entirely for guns and small arms, the latter for Torpedoes and Submarine work. The charges for every gun in the service, past (as far as practicable) and present, are exhibited, as also the cases in which they are stowed in a ship's magazine, and transported thence to the guns when required. Although in all charges the ingredients of the powder exist in the same proportions, the shape and size of the grains vary considerably, according to the nature of the charge ; and in this direction great progress has been made in recent years. The old powders for the S. B. (smooth bore) guns, from the relatively small size of the grain, burnt very quickly, and in heavy charges from rifled guns gave rise to violent pressures. With the short barrels of the muzzle loading gun it was at first found impracticable to burn a large charge with advantage, a large proportion thereof being driven out of the muzzle without-being ignited ; but in some measure (about 1876) this was obviated by enlarging the chambers of the gun and igniting the charge in such a manner as to ensure a more uniform combustion. In the old. guns the charge was made up in paper and ignited with a match. Towards the close of the last century, however, Sir Charles Douglas introduced a flannel cartridge with locks and quill tubes, but 470 Ordnance Section, [St. Vincent the flannel left a smouldering residue in the bore after discharge, and rendered it somewhat dangerous in M. L. guns to load again with anything like rapidity ; in the new guns, however, the bag is made of silk cloth (which is found to leave but little residue on burning), and in heavy guns the charge is made up in several parts to facilitate handling. In Quick Firing and Machine guns, in Rifles and Pistols, the charge is made up in a metal case, which holds powder, projectile, and the means of ignition. Gun Cotton. Gun cotton is stowed on board ship both in a u wet " and " dry" condition ; the former, containing 18 per cent, of moisture, is sufficiently damp to resist ordinary means of ignition, but nevertheless develops its full power when detonated with the " dry" in small quantities. The rapidity and violence of its action renders gun cotton unsuitable for guns and small arms. Projectiles. There have always been several natures of projectiles for the same type of gun, such as shell (common and shrapnel), shot (solid, case, grape, red hot, and chain), carcases, &c, all of which were designed for special purposes. Considerable progress has been made in the design and manufacture of projectiles since 1876, up to which date they were made chiefly of cast iron ; now they are made of forged or cast steel, and the largest in the Naval Service weighs i,8co lbs., which, when propelled by 960 lbs. of gunpowder, has an initial velocity of nearly 2,000 "feet-seconds," a sufficient energy to send it through 33 inches of iron. Increased accuracy is obtained by the recent method of imparting rotation to the projectile, which is now effected (as also erosion mitigated) by driving rings of soft metal (copper) pressed on the base, instead of the older system of studs, which weakened the walls of the projectile. Flint Locks were superseded by percussion caps and hammers for small arms in 1 840, and by detonating tubes and hammers for guns in 1842. Sir Charles Douglas introduced the flint lock at the close of last century. Smooth Bore Muskets were in general use in the Navy until 1854, the first year of the Russian War, when Minie Rifles were introduced, each ship being supplied in the first instance with rifles and smooth-bore muskets in the proportion of one-third and two-thirds respectively of her complement, until a sufficient number of the former became available to make their supply general. Larg-e Pistols (Cavalry pattern) were used in the Navy until 1846, when a smaller pattern, having a rib on the side for attaching to the waist-belt, was introduced, and these continued in use until the beginning of the Russian War, when a small supply of Colt's revolvers was made to each ship, the numbers being gradually increased until the supply became general. After Colt's came the " Deane and Adams" revolver, then the "Adams," and in 1887 the present pattern the "Enfield." Gallery] Ordnance Section. 471 ORDNANCE.

VINCENT GALLERY is the ARMSTRONG GALLERY, containing the EXHIBIT OF WARLIKE MATERIAL manu- factured by Sir W. G. Armstrong, Mitchell, & Co., Limited, Elswick Works, Newcastle-on-Tyne. This Exhibit is divided in Sections as follows : — SECTION I. In this Section will be seen a 6-inch 5-ton Gun, mounted on a hydro- pneumatic mounting, which is specially designed, and largely in use for coast defence purposes. In this principle the gun, with its mounting, and the crew working the same, are concealed in a pit, the top of which is on the level of the surrounding country. The gun is loaded and laid (or aimed) in the pit, the last operation being carried out by means of reflecting mirrors, and when ready is allowed to rise above the pit (which it does automatically by means of the air which has been compressed in the cylinder by the recoil of the gun after the previous round). After firing, the influence of the recoil causes the gun immediately to descend again into the pit, leaving only the puff of smoke to direct the return •fire against the gun. Guns up to 68 tons weight, throwing projectiles of 1,250 lbs., have been mounted with success on this principle, which has been made the subject of most exhaustive experiments with a view to ascertaining what the effect of a -ship's fire on such a system would be. In 1885 a model gun was mounted on a disappearing carriage in a pit at the extremity of Portland Bill, and H. M.S. 44 Hercules " fired over 150 rounds at it, and although the model was made of wood only, it went through the ordeal, coming up as if to deliver fire and then disappearing again, without the slightest injury. The mounting on exhibit will be worked every day punctually at 3 and 6 p.m. If required to be worked at any other time a charge of 2s. 6d. will be made. SECTION II. In this Section is shown a 3-pounder Hotchkiss Gun, fitted with the Elswick electrically illuminated sights for night use. As these small quick- firing guns are specially designed and manufactured with a view to repelling the attacks of torpedo boats, which attacks would generally be made at night, the necessity of providing the gunner with a means of directing his fire by -such i 1 night sights " is apparent. T 492 Ordnance Section, [Armstrong SECTION III. This Section contains an exhibit of Quick-firing Guns. It will perhaps be well to explain that in the ordinary system of breech-loading guns it is abso- lutely necessary to wash or sponge out the powder-chamber after each round, and thus a considerable time is occupied. Further delay in loading is occa- sioned by extracting and inserting a tube, or primer, each round, to ignite the powder charge ; but in quick-firing guns both these causes of delay are got over by the use of a metal cartridge case which contains the priming tube* In 1886 the Armstrong firm designed and submitted to the Admiralty a quick- firing gun to fire a 36 lb. projectile. After trial, however, it was decided to increase the weight of the projectile to 45 lbs., and to adopt the gun as the- principal armament of cruisers and small vessels. Since then 420 of these guns have been manufactured at Elswick for the Royal Navy alone. Further experiments, carried out by the Armstrong Firm, resulted in the production of large quick-firing guns of 6 inches in calibre, capable of firing a 120 lb. pro- jectile, and also guns of smaller sizes suitable for the armament of torpedo boats, &c. Specimens of each of these guns are. here shown, and it may be of interest to state that the rate of firing from them may be taken to be as follows : — 6-inch quick-firing gun, 100 lb. projectile, 6 rounds per minute. 4*7 »■» >> 45 9 9 12 >> f, 375 99 99 99 25 „ 14 „ 3 99 99 99 12 ,, 20 ,, ,, Note. — Cards giving the ballistic data of these guns can be obtained from the attendants. The guns shown in this Section are fitted with the " Morris Company Aiming Tubes" so that visitors can practice with the guns at a movable target, which is designed to a scale to represent a torpedo boat at 800 yards 0s she would appear- while steaming at full speed at sea. SECTION IV. This Section represents the Battery of a modern Ironclad. It is now the invariable custom to supplement the main armament of large, turret or barbette, guns with a secondary battery of smaller guns, for which the quick- firing guns are particularly suitable. The guns shown in this exhibit are one 6-inch Q.F., three 47-inch Q.F., and two 6-pr. Hotchkiss. In the after part of the deck will be found the gun-room and a typical lieutenant's cabin, which have been furnished by the Army and Navy Co-operative Stores. The side lights used in the cabins are the invention of Mr. Mason. SECTION V. Consists of the Model Rooms, above the ground floor, which contains a* most complete exhibit of very highly-finished models of modern men-of-war. Prominent among them will be seen one of H.M.S. " Victoria," to a scale of one inch equals one foot. This model is probably the largest and most com- plete that has ever been constructed, and shows in the most minute detail every fitting on board that magnificent ironclad. The torpedo nets on this model were made for the Exhibition by Bullivant & Co., the well-known makers of wire-rope, &c. Gallery] O d nance Section. 493 SECTION VI. The principal object here is a full-sized Section of the " Victoria's : ' Turret, in which is mounted a I io-ton gun on hydraulic carriage. This gun fires a projectile of 1, 800 lbs., and a powder charge of 96c lbs., and possesses an .energy of 55,253 foot tons. The projectile and model of the •charge, which is 9 feet in length, are also exhibited. The machinery for working these monster guns is on exactly the same design as that for working guns of 68 tons or 43 tons, nor does it require more men to attend to it. The armour of the " Victoria " turret consists of 17 inches steel-faced, and the weight of the entire turret, with its two guns, is about 9GC tons. SECTION VII. In this Section will be found a 9 '2-inch B. -L. Gun on Elswick (Vavasseur) -centre-pivot mounting. These guns are so mounted in the bow and stern of nearly all our larger cruisers. It will be observed that the mounting is designed so that the ammunition can be brought from the magazine up a central tube, and thus the gun can be readily loaded at any angle of training. On the floor in this Section will also be seen the rough forcings of steel from which a 6-inch Q.-F. gun is made ; as well as projectiles of all natures, cartridge cases, and other materials of interest. Outside the building a Time Gun is exhibited, which is made to fire auto- matically by electricity. The hours at which the gun is arranged to fire are 3 and 7 p.m., and the accuracy with which this is done by the combina- tion of clockwork and electricity should be specially observed. It only remains to be added that the building containing Messrs. Arm- strong's exhibit is 230 feet in length X 45 feet in breadth, and was erected by Messrs. North & Son, of London Road.

TORPEDO EXHIBIT. In the arrangement of this most interesting Sub-Division, endeavour has •been made to set clearly before the visitor the methods adopted and materials employed in the Science of what may be termed " Submarine Warfare," both, for " Attack " and " Defence," ATTACK. Under this heading may be considered the Whitehead Torpedo, the " Out- rigger " or "Spar" Torpedo, the system of Countermines, and the exercises known as " Creeping" and "Sweeping." In connection with the "Whitehead," Mr. Whitehead's original surface Torpedo is kindly lent by the inventor, and represents the prelude to the locomotive Torpedo warfare adopted by our Service. Different and distinct patterns of the Whitehead Torpedo, which may be fairly styled representative, are also to be seen, some of which are practically worked, as far as the engines and outside adjustments are concerned. The stack of Torpedoes (Exhibit No. 5153) also contains the following : — The 16-inch Fiume Torpedo, which was carried by such ships as the "Minotaur" and " Agincourt," and is one of the earliest types -of Mr. Whitehead's invention. The 14-inch Berlin Torpedo, the German copy of Mr. Whitehead's Mark I. Torpedo, with the exception that this one is made of Phosphor-bronze, a metal which has the advantage of not corroding in salt water, or oxidizing as is the case with steel or iron. The compound of this metal is kept secret. The Mark I. 14-inch Woolwich Torpedo, the first attempt from our own arsenal, differing from the Fiume in the arrangement of the tail and 49^ Ordnance Sec. S:;b.-Div. — Torpedo & Electrical [Camperdown mdders. (Mr. Whitehead's secret is retained in all our Torpedoes, though worked out mechanically in a different way.) The Mark VIII. 14-inch Woolwich Torpedo, the Torpedo of the day, as far as the 14-inch Torpedo is concerned. In this weapon is incor- porated the improvements resulting from several years' labour and experiments made by the Arsenal Authorities assisted by our Naval Torpedo Schools. The outside is made of steel, as Phospor-bronze is too soft for the work. The internal mechanism is, however, made of the latter metal, which does not necessitate the continual parting for cleaning purposes, so important in the early patterns. It may be of interest to note, that although the idea in the construction of a Torpedo, is, no doubt, that it will be used once and once only in war time, yet in our ships so much practice with these weapons is carried out by a cer- tain proportion of the supply, that a Torpedo is frequently "run " for exercise 500 or more times successfully. Methods of discharge. — Various methods are adopted for discharging Torpedoes, above and below water. The propulsion is generated either by the explosion of a small charge of gunpowder, or by a volume of compressed air acting on the whole shell of the Torpedo from the rear of the discharging tube. Examples of what is termed " Dropping Gear " and a " Torpedo Tube " of recent date are exhibited. The Outrigger Boat. — A model representing this boat fitted for service is shown with the mining exhibits. The success of an attack by an Outrigger boat depends mainly upon : (.. ) The coolness and courage of the officer in command. ( Five H. P. Oil Engine.

Machinery Gallery] Electric Lighting Plant. 52i THE ELECTRIC LIGHTING PLANT. The long narrow building adjoining the Embankment, in which the Lighting Plant is contained, is divided into two parts, viz., the Engine and Dynamo Room, and the Boiler Room. The Engine and Dynamo Room measures 68 ft. by 29 ft. , including the portions devoted to visitors. The part railed off for machinery, measures 48 ft. by 21 ft., and within this space are placed Engines and Dynamos collectively of over 1,100 h.p. The Engines, as well as the steam and exhaust pipes, and the large venti- lating fan driven by a separate engine, are supplied by Messrs. Willans & Robinson, Limited, of Thames Ditton, and the Dynamos by Messrs. Siemens Brothers & Co., Limited, of London, the combined plant being coupled together and erected in place by Messrs. Willans & Robinson. The Dynamos (except in one case) are carried upon bed-plates, which form an extension of the engine frame. The cables connecting the Dynamos with the Switch-board, and the Switch- board itself, which is placed on the west side of the Engine-room, are supplied and fixed by Messrs. Siemens Bros. & Co. The Engines are divided into two groups. The group at the south end occupies a space of 28 ft. by 21 ft., and includes three large Direct-driving Compound Engines, indicating 300 h.p. each. With the exception of a similar engine (also with a Siemens' Dynamo), which has been running for the past year in the Electric Light Station of the Corporation of Bradford, in Yorkshire, these engines are believed to be the largest direct-coupled high-speed! engines in existence, and they represent the latest Central-station practice in this country ; in fact, these three engines and dynamos (with six of the boilers in the Boiler-house) in themselves represent the plant of a Lighting Station of some magnitude, able, if worked together, to supply current for 8,000 or 9,000 lights of 16 candle-power each. The Engines are of the kind known as Willans' Patent Central-Valve Engines (" I.I.I, size ") : they are single-acting, and run at 350 revolutions per minute. Ail the brasses and bearings are in ' ' constant thrust" (i.e., there is no alternation of stresses, as in double-acting engines) and the wearing surfaces- are either immersed in, or are continually bathed with, oil. The entire absence of belts is a striking feature of the Engine-room, and its result in saving of space, as well as in freedom from noise, will attract the notice of the visitor accustomed to the Electric Light Departments of former Exhibitions. The present installation in fact constitutes the first public exhibition of direct-driving plant upon a large scale, although similar (but smaller) engines have been supplied for central Lighting Stations in Englan to the extent of 20,000 h.p. 5 22 Electric Lighting Plant. [Machinery The Dynamosjareof Messrs. Siemens' " H.B." pattern. At 350 revolutions per minute they each give an ordinary output of 1,500 amperes and 120 volts (180 kilowatts). The "commercial efficiency " is about 94 per cent, at full load. The u combined efficiency 5 ' of the Engine and Dynamo, treated as one machine, is about 86 per cent, at full load — Le, 9 the Electrical h. p. given oft at the terminals of the machines is not less than 86 per cent, of the h.p. indicated in the cylinders of the Engine. The consumption of steam per i.h.p. per hour (the Engines at the Exhibition being non-condensing, and working at 120 lbs. pressure) is slightly over 20 lbs., corresponding with a consumption of 23^ lbs. per Electrical h.p. per hour. Similar engines, conden- sing, working with steam at 160 lbs. pressure, require 14 lbs. of steam per i. h.p. per hour, or (with the same combined efficiency) a little over 16^ lbs. per Electrical h.p. The three Engines and Dynamos forming the other group are of smaller size. That at the corner represents the combination of Willans' Central- Valve Engines with Siemens' " H.B.." Dynamos, such as have been supplied in large numbers to Her Majesty's Ships. The output of the largest size used in the Navy (as for instance in the new first-class cruisers " Blake " and " Blenheim ") is 400 amperes and 80 volts, at 400 revolutions per minute ; but the Dynamo now shown (with the same Engine, " G.G." size) is rather larger, and runs faster, and is able to give 400 amperes and 120 volts, the latter voltage being more useful for the purposes of the Exhibition than that used in the Navy. In other respects this set is practically a duplicate of many used in the Navy ; in fact, the 300 h.p. sets described above are merely larger .examples of the same pattern. Another set in this group represents the single-acting " Open Engines " supplied to the Navy under recent specifications, by the same makers. The w Latona," and other new cruisers of the same class, are fitted with engines of this description. The Dynamo is of Messrs. Siemens' usual pattern. The remaining Engine (of the Central- Valve pattern, " G.G." size) drives one of Messrs. Siemens' Alternating-Current Dynamos, giving 40 killowatts, for maintaining the arc light on the Lighthouse. There is also shown a central station engine-room switchboard, with all necessary controlling and regulating switches, cut-outs, meters, and measuring mstruments, together with Transformer for 50,000 volts. The Boiler-house measures 60 ft. by 29 ft., and contains ten steel loco- motive boilers of the well-known make of Messrs. Davy, Paxman, & Co., of Colchester. They supply steam to the Electric Lighting Engine, as well as to other machinery in motion in the adjoining shed. These Boilers contain more than 7,000 square feet of heating surface, and are capable of evaporating over 30,000 lbs. of water per hour; they are self con- Gallery] Electric Lighting Plant. 5 2 3 tained, made for a working pressure of 140 lbs. per square inch, and tested to 250 lbs. per square inch. A steel Steam Receiver runs the entire length of the boilers, connected to each by a separate stop valve, so that either or any of the boilers can be immediately shut off, if necessary. The object of the Receiver is to give dry steam to the engines, and to turn back to the boilers any condensed steam. The Pumps for feeding the Boilers are provided by Mr. A. G. Mumford, of Colchester, and the Injectors are of Messrs, Gresham & Craven's manufacture* The distribution of the current from the terminals of the machines, including the wiring and actual lighting of the entire Exhibition, is in the hands of Messrs. Siemens Bros. & Co., Limited. The feeding mains and most of the distributing mains are of Siemens' lead cased and iron sheathed type, laid underground. The public lighting is effected by means of 140 arc lamps of new type. In various parts of the Exhibition will be shown motors worked by electrical energy. Stall No. 171, Co ok Gallery.

Kiosks, KIOSKS. In order not to interrupt the systematic tour of the Exhibition Galleries, the attention of the Visitor has not hitherto been drawn to the smaller buildings erected in various positions about the grounds. From this, however, it must not be inferred that the Exhibits contained in these buildings a.re of less importance than those which are located in the Main Galleries. On the contrary, the Exhibits in question are of the highest importance and interest, and it is on this account, in many instances, added to the fact of there being insufficient space in the Galleries, that these special structures have been erected. Mention should also be made of the fact that in each case the buildings themselves have been erected at the cost of the Exhibitors. Starting from the Machinery Gallery, the Visitor should now retrace his steps, and visit the various Kiosks as they occur en route, viz. : — 5320 The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, This kiosk is designed in a characteristic Oriental style, and is of wood,, brick, and plaster. The principal entrance is formed by a large verandah leading directly into the body of the pavilion, a spacious apartment containing models to a scale of ^-inch to the foot, of four of the principal ships of the " P. and O." fleet. These models are placed on tables radiating towards the centre of the room, where, on an elevated pedestal is a model of 44 The William Fawcett," the first ship possessed by the Company. This model, being to the same scale as that of the larger ships surrounding it, serves to illustrate the gigantic strides made in ship-building since the foundation of the Company, some fifty years since. At a distance of about eight feet from the floor, the room takes the form of an octagon, forming eight panels, four of which illustrate the great epoch of Maritime History : — The I. Century — " Cesarean Galleys." The X. Century — (Period of warlike adventures) u The Vikings." The XV. Century— (Period of discovery) 44 The Caravels of Columbus." The. XVIII. Century— (England's Naval supremacy) " 4 A Three- Decker,' and Frigates." the other four being illustrative of shipping in various parts of the world, the East being shown by 44 Eastern Junks, and Canoes." The North by " Vessels of Discovery in the Arctic Seas." The South by Vessels of the ; P. and O.' fleet off Gibraltar." On the right is a long room in which is placed a map of the route from London to India, China, and Australia, to a large scale, and on which will be placed tiny models of "he vessels en route, the exact position of which will, as nearly as possible, be indicated day by day. On the left is a similar room con- taining a model of the Suez Canal. At the end of these rooms are two cabins fitted exactly as on board ship. The smoking room, which is intended for one of the ships now being built for the Company, is approached from the dome, and its decorations are an entirely new Kiosks 5320 — continued. departure : the walls and ceilings being designed by Mr, T. G, Collcutt. The mode of colouring and modelling used have not hitherto been attempted. The manufacturers are Messrs. Doulton & Co. The seats tables, and doors, are in Spanish mahogany, relieved by rich hangings and upholstery. On the walls of the different rooms are hung photo- graphs and pictures of scenes of special interest to those who have made a voyage on an eastward bound vessel. Contents of the u P. & O."

Campbell Smith, and Co., under the supervision of Mr. J. Farquharscn (late of the Admiralty), is as perfect a representation of Nelson's celebrated Flagship as can possibly be made. The outside shows the ship complete from waterline to bulwarks and from figure head to taffrail. The Public will enter the Ship by the Entry Port and pass in to the Middle Deck, thence down by the ladder to the Lower Deck, one side of which is shown as it was on the morning of Trafalgar, with guns cleared for action, &c. On the other side is shown the Mess Tables and Stools and Hammocks ; all the details being as realistic as it is possible to make them. From the Lower Deck the Public will descend to the Orlop Deck and Cockpit, where Nelson died. The last scene has been faithfully executed by Mr. John T. Tussaud (Madame Tussaud and Sons) ; and represents the dying hero surrounded by the following officers and others : — The Rev. Dr. Scott, Mr. Burke (Purser), Mr. Chevailler (Steward), Dr. Beatty (Surgeon), and Captain. Hardy, who has just come from off deck to take leave of his gallant Commander. The arrangement 01 this group has been taken from the celebrated- picture by Devis, now in Buckingham Palace. The guns and carriages are exact copies of the originals used at the Battle of Trafalgar. The masts a'-e represented by stumps only, it having been found im- possible to carry out all the details of masts, sails and rigging ; but in all other respects the model is an exact duplicate of the glorious old ship which carried Nelson to Victory and Death. 5335 Maudslay Sens & Field, Lambeth and East Greenwich, Part of a boiler front in one piece, flanged entirely bvhvdraulic pres- sure for H.M.S. «< Theseus."

From this point the structure swells out to a diameter of 24 feet at the platform, upon which is erected the lantern to receive the lighting apparatus. The lantern is 14 feet in diameter, and around it is a gallery 5 feet wide ; it is 16 feet 6 inches high, and is surmounted by the wind vane,, which is 8 feet long. The outside covering of the structure is of cement upon a steel lathing known as Expanded Metal Lathing, recently introduced into England by J. F. Golding, and made by the British Metal Expansion Company of West Hartlepool. Nearly 100 tons of iron and steel have been employed in the erection of the Model, the main supports of which are firmly attached to strong- anchor plates embedded in cement concrete 20 feet below the surface of the ground, so that the stability of the structure is placed beyond doubt. A convenient and efficient system of Lifts has been provided, and Visitors will be allowed to ascend to the platform, and to go within the lantern to inspect the lighting apparatus, &c. The Lighthouse will be illuminated at night by a powerful Electric Light, as described below. The actual light in the original structure is by means of oil. Description of the Light exhibited in the Model of the Eddystone Lighthouse by Messrs. Chance Bros. & Co., Limited,, of Birmingham. 5343 Double Group-Flashing Dioptric Light of the Fourth Order, composed of Chance refracting lenses only, subtending a vertical angle of 83 degrees, arranged for an electric arc of the type used at St. Catherine's Lighthouse, Isle of Wight, the fluted carbons being 65 millimetres diameter, as introduced by Sir James Douglass. The Light revolves in periods of 30 seconds, the two flashes being separated by an interval of about 4 seconds, the groups by an interval of about 21 seconds, the whole revolution occupying 180 seconds. The revolving carriage is actuated by a spring clock of the Kenward-Hopkinson type. 5344 The " Heroine/' a North Sea Trawler of 40 tons. This smack belongs to the Port of Yarmouth, and has been engaged for several years in the Deep Sea Fisheries in the North Sea. She returned from her last voyage in January, 1891, having lost her mizen mast and a great part of her bulwarks in a gale of wind, She is rigged as a ketch, and is shown with her rigging and gear complete, and fully equipped for trawling. The trawl is shown as made fast when sailing. The trawl, carrying with it as much some- times as ico fathoms of rope, has to be "got," i.e., drawn to the surface, by manual labour. The capstan and " dandy winch," used for "getting the gear," remain undisturbed on the deck. The " Heroine te carried a crew of four men, and each of her voyages would extend over two months. The cabin has not been disturbed, and shows the condition, so far as fittings are concerned, in which the craft went to sea on her last voyage. The smack's boat is on deck. It was smashed by the same sea which carried away the bulwarks. The bulwarks and the mizzen mast and rigging have been restored.

Pecuniary Rewards are granted within an area of Thirty Miles around the Metropolis. During the Skating Season, experienced Icemen are provided to prevent loss of lifein the various waters about London ; and Boats are in daily attendance, morning and evening, to prevent fatal results attending Accidents to the enormous number of Bathers in the Serpentine. Nearly Three Hundred Places in and around London are furnished with Life-Saving- Apparatus to rescue persons from Drowning. The Society has for the past nine years encouraged Swimming competitions with "reference to Saving Life from Drowning," and Prizes are annually given for proficiency in them at various leading Schools and Training Ships selected by the Committee. The Society is known throughout all the civilised world, but the pecuniary support it receives is quite inadequate to its usefulness, and it is necessary to remind the inhabitants of London that during a severe winter the Society has to incur a large outlay in finding ice-boats, ladders and ropes, for the protection of those who venture on dangerous ice ; also for the wages and equipment of Icemen.

The average cost of a fully-equipped Life-Boat, with Transporting Carriage, Life- Belts, etc., is £700.

This Ram, whilst! worked by a stream of impure water, will pump clean water from a well or spring-. Testimonials for John Blake's Patent Self-Acting Hydraulic Rams. From Wm. DICKINSON, Esq., Agent to the Most Honourable the MARQUESS OF ABERGAVENNY. — " Eridge Estate Office, Hargate Lodge, Tunbridge Wells, July 3, 1885.— Sir, — I am instructed by the Marquess of Abergavenny to say that the Patent Hydraulic Ram, with over two miles o pipe, forcing water to a height of 230 feet, which you erected at Eridge Castle about nine mon hs ago, has given his Lordship ^ en fire satisfaction, and he has every confidence in its continuing to do so. — I am, Sir, yours faithfully, William Dickinson." From C. PAGE WOOD, Esq., Wakes Hall, Wakes Colne, Essex, January nth, 1889.— " Sir, — In reply to you: inquiry, the Hydraulic Ram you put down for me in 1884 has cost me only 6d^ in repairs (tor a new stud my blacksmith made); the second Ram you put down to supply an off-hand farm has been running three years and has cost not a penny for repairs ; the third and largest Ram you put down two months ago, which is for the supply of water to my neighbours, is running satisfactorily. All three Rams throw up more water than you guaranteed. From inquiries I have made from friends who have Rams of other makers, I am convinced of the superiority of yours, and my third order is a proof of my good opinion. My abundant water supply is the greatest possible comfort to me. Yours faithfully, C. Page Wood.' 1 " VIXiIjAGrE "\W-A»'X , JE33E1. STD"^3?XjY. From J. B. McCALLUM, Esq., C.E., Borough and Water Engineer, Blackburn, Novem- ber 1st, 1886. Guide (Borough of Blackburn) Water Supply. — " Dear Sir, — Following is the short report I promised to send as to the work performed by the Hydraulic Rams — supplied by you to the Blackburn Corporation — after they had been in operation sufficient time to take proper observations. The district of Guide — population about 500 — in the Borough of Black- burn, is situated above the highest reservoir of the Blackburn Waterworks, and had no regular water supply until last July, when the Water Committee caused tw r o of your Patent Hydraulic Rams to be put down and worked by water from a reservoir having a varying but maximum head of 34 ft. 3 in. on the rams — the waste (clean) water gravitating to a lower adjacent reser- voir. You contracted to supply rams which would force 8,000 gallons per day each through 1,295 yards of delivery pipe to a service tank 170 ft. above the rams, and I am bound to state that the result has considerably exceeded my expectations, as the rams are capable of pumping and have pumped much more water than you promised. The percentage of efficiency exceeds all I expected, and is, in my opinion, much more than is usually obtained from hydraulic rams. From a test I made on September 29th, I found that two rams with \ in. and § in. strokes res- pectively, supplied with 194,030 gallons per day together pumped 26,090 gallons per day to a height of 170 ft., giving 71 '43 per cent, of efficiency, and one ram working at § in. stroke and with only 16 ft. of working fall supplied with 154,587 gallons per day, pumped 10,587 gallons per day to the same height, showing 72.75 per cent, of efficiency. At a subsequent test on October nth, one ram at |- in stroke and having 31 ft. 9 in. of working fall supplied with 121,083 gallons per day, pumped 17,583 gallons per day to an elevation of 1715 ft., the efficiency in this case- being 79'57 percent. In arriving at these results the greatest care was taken to positively measure the water, besides having a meter check on feed and delivery pipes. The work carried out by you at Blackburn is substantial and satisfactory in everyway, and if any engineer wishes to make his own observations he is at liberty to come here and do so."

THERE IS NO GEAR WHICH AFFORDS SUCH CERTAINTY OF SIMULTANEOUS RELEASE. APPROVED by the BOARD OF TRADE under their NEW RULES, The gear consists of a bar fitted preferably over the thwarts, and bent at each ena in the shape of a hook. It will be seen that the release is instantaneously and simultaneously effected on simply turning the bar by means of the lever ; both hooks being pointed upwards, the rings attached to the lower davit blocks fly free. By this apparatus a boat can be more easily released before she is water-borne than by any other method, while, at the discretion of those in charge, the attachment may remain perfectly secure until after she is afloat. The apparatus may, however, be arrange/1 to release a boat either before she is water- borne or not, according to the wishes of the purchaser. When re-attachment is desired, the ring is pushed against the lower jaw, which yields to admit it, and falls back into position again by i ts -own weight. The attachment is then complete.
