FITTING OUT A MAN-01"-WAR.

The time or‘ fitting out a ship is the most unpleasant part of the commission. One must either live lll s hulk. attd go bsckwsrds sad fornartls in boats several _times a day, or take up quarters itt sotrte ditty inn ashore, until the ship is made habitable. W list I wish to tell, ltoweve is what the fitting out of a ship of war is, and I flutter myself the infutnirttitm, taken as a whole, will be ttew to most readers.

It generally surprises tiny one wlto sees a ship of war at amsltur in one of our harbours, when he is told that I000, 500, or l5ll persons, according iii the size of tlte eltip, live on board her. A corvette, with a crew of I50 tnen. does not ap- pear. and It!.'|ll_\' is nut. Inn,-er than an ordinary mercliat-t-sltip of 500 or 600 ltitll, yet all these persons are board:-cl and lodged cotitforinbly in their flotiting-liume. But this is not all. The sltip must carry it qtiztntity of stores and provisions, wltich, if they were laid out on the shore, would fill a good-.~i1.tid barn, and which any one wonl

a t to bet heavy odds could not be put on board the little ship. lit the firet place, water and provisions for the wltole t-row must be carried for some nimttlts, totiiitlie the ship ellicieut. our case, we carried a complete supply for five tttuitths: we had fifty-three tons of water, on the weight of the tanks containing this water was eleven tons. Then the weight of beef and pork, biscuit, peas and flour, sugar. tea, and cocoa, with other provisions, amounted to nearly twenty- five tons, tlto cssks containing them weighing

F

two tons and ll quarter. In addition to this govern- ment supply of food and drittk, the captain and oflicers take about seven tons of private stores for their own particular nourishment. Four tons «focal and unud: two ions of clothing, soup.

around the bulwarks of the ship, being uncovered in fine weather, but propcted, when necessary, by a covering of tar elin. Thus there is no sign o a sleeping-place on the lower-deck during the day, all the hammocks being I re.

The galley or kitchen would sadly puasle a shore-ct-ck. No fire is tobescen; no joints are seen russtittg. All is enclosed in a square iron case; there is a furnace below, surrounded by wster,and itito this sauce-pans of all abs and sizes are let in—-from the cauldron which boils the soup for the whole ship’s company, to the sauce- boat for the oflieers' tirh—sll boiling, baking, roasting so called, toasting slewing for the meals of the captain, the two officers’ mosses, and the whole of the man, are thus done in an iron box some five feet square, and in many ships distilled water is prepared at the same time. n sotne our large troop-ships, gallons of distilled water are thus prepared every day.

uch was our craft below. On deck we ltad eighteen 32-poundcrs; and aloft. the ttsual sails of s three-masted, square-rigged vessel. This was our Fitting Out. We were now ready for sea ; and, with the usual complement of officers and men, we sailed where our duty called us.

These tsnks occupy the central part of the ship, excepts space reserved for the chain-cable an s stnall store of rovisions for daily use. Further forward is a bod for the beef and pork. with another for coal and firing. Beyond this is the sail-room, ’Ivbere all the spare sails are kept; and, lsstly.quite in the bows, the store-rooms. as they are called, but really a sort of dark cupboard. where the boatswain and carpenter keep their stores. All this is under hatches— that is to say, a hatch must be raised in get into any ofthese sprees. A batch is it square piece oftlte floor or deck cut out. so that it can be lifted by in ring, and furnished with locks, and so made as to keep all the lower part of the ship water- tigltt, or ncarl so.

Next comes the inhabited portion of the ship. Commencing as before. from the after-part, we httd first two cabins for the captain, etch extending the whole breadth of the ship ‘to after one was small; but with a couple of arm-cltairs and a portable fireplace, was a perfect little snuggery for him in winter, to lounge with a book or play it game at chess with one of us. 'l'lie fore cabin wits much longer. At one side, doors opened into it sleeping-cabin and a large cupboard, where the charts and chronometera are kept. At the other, was an open sofa-bed place and a cabin where the steward kept all the glare, crockery, &c.. for the table. The open space of the cabin was some seven paces by six, and between six and seven feet in height, being lighted by a sky- light on deck. In the centre, was a large square table, where many ajolly party of eight or ten have sat dnwti to as good a (llnllPI’ as wa~‘ evvr given afloat. Some well filled bunk-shelves, a writing-tleslt, and a few chairs, with it barometer and compass, completed the furniture.

Next came the gun-room, where the g-tin-roorit

THE RUSSIAN HEDGEHOG-—-CAN WE GET

It becomes a most interesting question now, what is the power of Russia? Can the Emperor Nicholas. by standing to his guns and firing at everything that ventures to come within range, heat back the steady advance of the powerful armament of the Western Powers? The question is not can we take Russia—bIit can we be prevent- ad from destroying tltc Russian strongholds in, the Baltic. and front bombarding St. Petersburg ? '
