THE ENGLISH NAVY.

r-Dependence Of Modern Feets and
Their Cosling Stations.
Sailing ships could, and did, remain
at sea for many months at q time.
Their power to remain at sea
was only limited by the amount
of water that they carried. The period
during which a modern ship of war
can remain at sea is determined MAIN
ly by her coal endurance, and to a
great extent by the necessity of effect
ing repairs in port to delicate machin.
cry. The coal endurance of modern
ships of war is even more limited than
official figures, SO far as any are avail
able, lead us to suppose; and when
Lord Salisbury placed the limit at two
thousand miles-viz., the distance at
which she could deliver q blow and re.
turn to her port-he certainly did not
try which possesses the most numer-
GUS coaling stations and tie best situ-
ated as regards trade routes will have
a great advantage in a future war. In
this respect the British empire is with
out rival
While a navy depends for it's power
of operating in distant waters very
largely on coaling stations. the exist
ence of the latter depends absolutely
on the power of the feet to protect
them. No local defense, whether in
Notifications or men, will preserve
them to q power which has slost the
command of the sea. The history of
Malta during the great war affords an
admirable instance of the interdepend-
ence of fleets and coaling stations,
though it must be admitted that the
lesson to be drawn is to some extent
weakened by the need of modern ships
for coal. I..
Many people consider that the pos
session of Malta is indispensable to the
maintenance of British influence in
the Mediterranean. How far this is
true may be judged from the fact that
Nelson won the battle of the Nile when
Malta was in the hands of the French,
and that Malta fell into English hands.
