The LOST SERPENT.

The Sesworthiness of the Lost British
War ship Being vigorously Discussed.
LONDON, Nov 15.-Lord George Ham
ilton, OF the admiralty, has authorized
Admiral Hopkins, controller of the navy,
to fatty deny Admiral Elliott's state
ment that the Serpent was "a unique
specimen of the 'shoddy built ship"
The controller AYERS that the Serpent
was amply strong enough to bear the
strain of her engines. The navigator
doubtless lost his course, and the YES
sci was wrecked before her officers
were aware of her whereabout
Admiral Richards, whose nephew was
navigating Lieutenant on the Serpent,
says in an interview that he believes
the vessel was damaged in Mondays
storm and was making for Corunna. but
got out of her course on account of the
Cape Villano light being obscured. He
declares that Admiral Elliotts state
ment is absurd.
Mr.. Burnaby, who designed the Ser
pent, says, in an interview, that 'shod-
dy-built" ships are impossible in the
British navy. The vessels of the Ser
pent class are safe, but uncomfortable
for the crew. Mr.. Burnaby corrobo-
rates the controllers statement that the
Serpent was not over-engined.
