LAUNCH OF THE FURY STEAM-
FRIGATE AT SHEERNESS.
Tuesday being the day appointed for the launch of
this fine vessel, the town of Sheerness exhibited the usual
demonstrations of a general holiday; and the day being
fine overhead, for nearly an hour before the time fixed
for the launch (ten o'clock) the dockyard was thronged
with crowds of well-dressed people from all parts of the
island, who, however, were doomed to be disappointed at
this time, for the wind, which was previously blowing
pretty stiffly, had in the interim risen to a gale, and the
launch was consequently obliged to be deferred till the
occurrence of more favourable weather. The day fol-
lowing, Wednesday, proving a most favourable one, it
was determined that the launch should come off that
day, about two o'clock; and on the gates being thrown
open, the dockyard was soon crowded. At the head of
the vessel a stand covered with crimson cloth was erected
for the accommodation of the Commander-in-Chief, the -
captain, superintendent, and numerous other naval and
military officers, with their ladies. Shortly before two
o'clock, the Commander-in-Chief, Vice Admiral
Sir Edward King, K.C.H., arrived with his
lady and daughter, and took their stations on
the platform. When all was ready for knock-
ing out the dog-shores, a bottle of wine having
been opened, Miss King, who officiated at the christen-
ing, drank success to the Fury, and immediately after-
wards broke the bottle of wine on the bow of the vessel,
and the dog-shores being loosened, the gallant ship
glided majestically into the Medway, amid the enthu-
siastic cheers of the assembled spectators, and the strains
of the Trafalgar's band, which was in attendance during
the ceremony. The vessel was decorated with the royal
standard at the main, the Admiralty flag at the fore,
and the union jack at the mizen; but permission was not
given, as usual, for any visitors to be launched in the
ship. The arrangements of the authorities were admi-
rably made for the public accommodation, and all went
off in a most satisfactory manner. After the launch
she was taken in charge by the master attendant, and
hauled into dock to be coppered. She was found to
float almost on an even keel, her draught of water for-
ward and aft being nearly-eight feet. The position on
the water and general appearance was much admired.
She is constructed on the design of the surveyor of the
navy-i,and is-cebeitie*.tialF improvement on hirlbrmer • -
steam vessels by possessing a greater length and fulness
of section. She has been built rather hurriedly, her
keel having bien laid down only in May last; her
