SEARCHING BY CURVES OF CHANCE.
Under Lleutenant-Commander W. W. Kimball,
Of great repute from his service the Small
Arms Board, the little fleet of the United States
torpedo-boats Is starting on cruise that will
open new chapter in American warfare. For
the first time now the United States has a tor
pedo-boat service that. though small. indeed. in
comparison with the like notillas Of other
lions, is nevertheless creditable, and could cut
something Of a figure in defence should the need
come.
All next winter. and late into the spring, and
perhaps well up into the summer, Commander
Kmball will take his grim, strange little fleet
through the waters Of the South. drilling men
and boats in tactical evolutons Of all sorts. and
practising all kinds of manGuvres Extended
operations large scale are needed to famil-
iarize officers and men with torpedO-boat work
to all ntents and purposes new science for the
American Navy. More especially is long cruise
needed and the constant moving about of the
fotlla from place TO place, since the essence OF
the service Is that the boats must learn to
work together and support each other, as if
pieces moved by a giant hand.
The plans of the cruise Include touching at al
most every harbOr and point on the coast from
the Chesapeake to New orleans. and even, prob
ably. some journeying up the Mississippi. As
