THE RESERVE SQUADRON COLLISION.

A corn epondent wilt.. to Treat as full 'we :
—Troth sod variout tiler I nun ils have commented
on the Reserve Squadron c Photon and consequent
court-martiol, but to toy method of thinking they
have mined toe poi, t. During the last , yea.,
I hive eel cod :twelve in tint Channel al Me liter-
renean, so claim to have some expetienoe in seeing
finite manceuvred, and offer my views on the
accident. The eight shipa were in three line.; the
number of ships in each tine WM three ship., three
ships, and two ships ; the distance between one ship
and the next ahead and astern was 400 yards, and
the distance sideways between the lines was 400
yards. This method of sailing was a purely fancy one
(which neither I our any one els:, have ever wen
used except assing in anti out of harbour In broad day-
light ; but even then the ship, were always in two
lines). Of cone... the Admiral in command his
discretionary power to arrange him ships a. be think,.
fit. The nearest approach in the A Imiralty Si!tta'-

columns nf dlviii a line she.' ;" lot it I. ditiactly
ordered thst the distance b -tweet. the hoes le to be

that there ate ships in the bm.:. it in • S lii Ho-.
would hove been six "Ides. or 1,200 y IC is spur ,

not have e aped collision. In any case, the distance
bstween eLi, s ahead and astern of each other is not
very material, but the lateral distance in of vital
lioptttoive. Fancy a squadron arranged no were
Vow eight atipe overtaken in • fog ! Fancy some
