sideration. The debate will be continued to- upon this idea, the First Lord of the Admiralty
and the party accompanying him lunched first with
morrow. I the superintendent of Chatham dockyard. As
they arrived shortly after twelve they had time to
see the vessels which were being constructed at the
yard, and also to make a complete inspection of
the Hercules. The ladies, including the First
Lord's daughter, Miss Corry, were not the least
indefatigable and intrepid of the sight-seers, for
they followed the gentlemen wherever they went,
and tried to show as much interest as was possible
in o subject so apparently uninteresting as a half-.
finished iron-clad.
Upon entering the Hercules, the first resting-
place was the central battery, which will contain
her ponderous armament. It is iron-proof, and
communicates with the fore and after parts of the
vessel by means of solid iron doors. Although
this battery is in the centre of the vessel, and con-
structed on the broadside principle, with port-
holes cut in the ship's sides in the ordinary way,
the sides are indented in such a way as to allow of
four of the guns (two on each aide) being trained
so as to tire fore and aft. Mounting on to the
upper deck there was nothing to see but a bare
surface of deck enclosed by very low bulwarks.
Considering that the Hercules is now one of our
first-rates, a stranger could not fail to be struck
with her apparently small breadth. It did not seem
possible that such a vessel, which had more the
appearance of a large barge than anything else,
could carry the enormous weight of 1,500 tons of
iron ; or that carrying it she could possibly float.
On this point there was no small amount of anxiety
—shipwrights and officers were equally nervous
as the time of high tide approached. At a quarter-
past one, however, all fear was dispelled by the
information, which rapidly spread through the
crowds surrounding the ship, that she floated.
With no more, therefore, than 15 feet of water at
her bow, and twenty at her stern, this enormous
weight was afloat. From this time, then, till a
'rim ter to two, all eyes were turned towards the
entrance of the stand where the First Lord and the
official party who had come from town to witness
the launch were expected to make their appear-
