The Dauntless, 31, screw steamship, tBO horse power,
Capt. J. N. Strange, having undergone most extensive re-
pairs, both of hull and machinery, in the large basin at
Sheerness, previous to her departure for the Humber as
Coastguard ship at that station, was taken to the measured
mile off Maplin Sands yesterday, in command of Captain
W. K. Hall, C.B , chief of the Sheerness Steam Re-
serve. for the trial of her engines. Two runs were made
with full boiler power, which gave a result of 9.291
knots per hour ; the draught of water on the trial was, for-
ward, 17ft Sin ; aft, 18ft Bin. After the runs on the mile
the vessel was taken at full speed a long run round the
Mouse Light and back to the Little Nore, where she is now
anchored. By orders received from the Admiralty the
Dauntless was told off as one of the Coastguard vessels in
readiness to proceed at once to the Baltic, if necessary. She
sill now proceed to Leith with the crew of the Trafalgar,
which had navigated the Edinburgh, late Coastguard
vessel in the Firth of Forth to Sheerness. After this she
will, previously to being taken to her station in the Hum-
ber, be manned by Coastguard men and proceed on a
cruise. She is fully rigged, and has on board all her stores,
armament, and ammunition. The trial at the measured
mile is reported to have been very satisfactory.
The Caledonia, 36, ironcased ship, 4,125 tons, 1,000
horse power, master in charge Henry S. Ley, will leave
Sheerness this day for Plymouth, in command of Com-
mander G. J. Hodges, assist.-master attendant, Sheerness
Dockyard. She will be manned by riggers from the dock-
yard, and the men belonging to the Steam Reserve at
Sheerness.
