able mariner is formed BY land,
man may learn the military exercise

the example of veterans will soon make

case is quite different. Many years

longer in training than common SOL
der. This is the reason why it has al
ways been so hard task for any ma
ton 10 become suddenly great mari
time power. With abundance Of men
and money, formidable army can, by
due attention, always be created In two
or three years. But unless country
has previously possessed an extensive
trade by sea, and trade carried on iE
her own bottoms, it is utterly impossi-
bic for her 10 form navy. Without
such trade, no degree Of wealth or
population can raise il. his explains
the anxiety which Britain has always
discovered TO augment the number Of
her sailors. Unless she can support
merchantmen to educate and supply
her navy with skilful mariners, the ma
Wy itselfis OF no value and even after

reduced to a distressing scarcity Of

We have excellent ships, brave men,
and skIiful gunners. The only reason
for their bad success is want Of good
seamen. The superior wisdom, vigil
