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.

It is the strong arm which makes us secure against the molest-'I -iii-in of possilie enemies, and it ex-: cites the envious admiration of for- eigners of every nat-ion. 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. But the four war vessels now ° ld 'l d ` l time than l\elson did ir, destroy such a fleet as Admiral Villeneuve com- man e on t at ay. e c anges power, steel armor, end improved guns both sea and land, though their sea- craft were but open boats, h _ . rows.

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. Dutch French and Spanish were engagements in 1652-3 and the Span- iards in 1657.
