of-battle ships; we have taken a very different line, and I
suspect that is the real cause of the speech we have heard
to-day from the right hon. gentleman, and of the sensitive-
ness he has shown with regard to charges which were never
made. Instead of taking a vote for £70,000, we. have pro-
posed to take one for £1,000,000, which will enable us to
add 26 powerful men-of-war to the navy, and to redress, so
far as it is possible to redress, that 13ositivd and relative de-
ficiency in our naval force which the late Government had
allowed to exist. (Cheers.) Sir, under the pressure of
time (it was now nearly a quarter to 6 o'clock) I have had
to advert to the topics embraced in the right hon. gentle-
man's speech, but I am not aware that I have omitted to
notice any of his observations. I think I have satisfied
the house. that the right hon. gentleman had no reason to
complain, and that if I erred at all it was on the side of
courtesy. I hope, too, I have satisfied the house that, con-
sidering the state of things which I found on succeeding to
office at the Admiralty, it was impossible, under the cir-
cumstances, and with every desire to discharge our duty,
to do more than take the steps we have done, with the view
to bring the navy to a pitch of efficiency commensurate
with the requirements of the times in which we live.
(Cheers.)
Sir C. NAPIER said he did not see how the house could
reconcile the statements just made by two First Lords of
the Admiralty. He could not do so, and it was his opinion
that there was blame on both sides. (Laughter.) The gallant
admiral continued his observations up to a quarter to 6, when a
cry of time arose, at which the gallant admiral took up hie'
hat and. said, "I'll reserve the rest till to-morrow."
The debate was then adjourned.
