pivot Her third and most effective class of vessels are
small screw gun-boats ranging from two hundred to
three hundred tons burden with from 20 to sixty horse
power carrying light eightnch gun or long thirty
two FOUNDER and one two twentyfour thirty two
pound howtzers. Besides these she has between forty
and fifty paddle steamers, of various sizes from the
Terrible of one thousand eight hundred tons and twenty
guns to the Pigmy of fifty tons and one gun.
From this statement it will be seen that if she has
men to them Britain can place thirty screwsteam-
ers of the ne twenty screwgates forty screw-sloops
and one hundred and fifty lighter steam vessels on our
atlantic coast without decreasing the strength of any
one Of her fleets other stations, and still have large
force to hold in reserve. But must take into
sderaton that in of war with us she would have
largely to increase all of her fleets in order to protect
her and colonies from the attacks of our pri-
vateers Another point claimed against her by France
is, that her naval officers with but few exceptions are
not scientific and welleducated in their profession
They go through such course of training in the
American and French naves. STILL the British navy is
most formidable and contains at all times large re-
serve force of three hundred sailing vessels, most
OF them modernzed and capable of being easily
ted into steamers.
