THE BRITISH N.-\V\'.

It is an unusual sight to see ships

of war in our port, and the presence of the North American Squadron is therefore a matter of patriotic interest to all iur citizens. All are familiar with the fact that the naval arma- ment of the United Kingdom not only far surpasses in fighting force that of any other naval power of the present day, but it also far exceeds in destructive power any leet that has sailed the seas since the daw 1 of time. The navy is the pride of Brit-

The North American Squadron is,

but a very small fraction of the Brit I ish navy, hut yet would in itself be more than a match for any fleet that sailed the seas before the present cen- tury. \Vhen Lord Nelson in 1805 destroyed the combined fleets of France and Spain at Trafalgar he achieved a victory against superior numbers which will never be forgot- ten.

Henry V. in 1413 caused larger

ships than had before been known to be built for the navy and evinced a great desire for the improvement of lBrita.in’s sea. power. And there was need. For four hundred years thenceforward Britain was to battle, sometimes for her very existence, always for the security of her trade land the mastery of the seas, against one or other of the continental powers, or against two or three of them com- bined. A grand culmination came in 1588 when the Spanish Armada was launched against England by

of war, ranging from 300 to 1200 tons

ports, carrying 11.000 sailors, 20,000 soldiers and 3,16-5 cannon. Drake, Frobisher and Howard, aided by the storms of Heaven prevented a landing, sunk, captured or wrecked two thirds of this vast array of ships and men, and the armies raised by Elizabeth to repel the expected invasion were not needed. “The wooden walls of Eng- land" had proved a secure first line of defence.

IT ships and 9.000 men. At Copen- ihageu in 1807 the Danish tleet' was totally destroyed or c.'ir~iurerl, and at Trafalgar in 1805 the combined tleets \of France and Spain were totally ‘defeated with a. loss of I0 .~hips. Both the French and Spanish admirals were captured, but the victory was dearly paid for by the death of Nelson.

This was the last great sea fight in

which a British lleet- has been en gaged. For now ne-uly a century Britain has held the undi‘puted mastery of the seas and has turned ii to nobleaccount in maintaining peace, preserving the liberties of tl.f~ oy pre>- sed,abolishing piracy and the slave trade and policing the hi;;h<r:-ys of cimmerce. The security - i trade lupon the high seas, largely ini- re ul of British supremacy, has in i d~ red possible the enormous dcvelopmi--nr oi trade within the present century. I

The use of steam in the British

navy was unknown till 1822, when the lirst steamer was built for the fleets. In 1840 another small stea- mer was added. In 1845 screw steam- snips of war were introduced. It was not till more than twenty years later that armored vessels were brought in- to use-“iron c-lads” as they were called at first. Thereafter the wooden walls of England ceased to be spoken of.
