sels reached the Nab light the breeze freshened, and the con-
test now between the Rodney, Superb, Queen, and Albion was
most interesting. The Rodney was the first ship under weigh,
and had passed the Superb and Albion, and had obtained the lead
the Rodney being the first ship, Superb next, and the Albion fol-
lowing on the port quarter of the Rodney. It very soon became
apparent that the Queen would take the lead of them all, for while
the Rodney and Albion were under al sail with studdingsails a;ow
and aloft, the Queen was sparing them lower and maintopmast
studdingsails, and passing them hand over hand. The Queen was
the first to round the Nab light, followed by the Rodney, Albion,
Superb, and Vanguard, which had passed the Canopus and Tra-
falgar.
During the time the vessels were making the Nab light, her
Majesty was on the platform which connected the paddle-boxes,
and appeared to take great interest in the scene before her, and in
the trial of sailing between the line-of-battle ships.
After passing the Nab light, her Majesty took the lead of the
fleet. When off Dunmore, the signal was made for the fleet to
form in two lines, the Admiral leading.
Her Majesty and Prince Albert, with their royal guests, then
returned from sea, and proceeded to Osborne House, where they
