handing officers say they would rather
take their chances On an open bridge
than to occupy one of the alleged con

The smoke pipe passes up through
the center of the tower and receives
protection from it. The smokepipe is
utilized Is a mast, and carries the usual
fighting top and signal yard. The top
of the smoke pipe is 100 feet above the

fifteen feet below the smoke outlet, the
men at the top guns ought not to suffer
any discomfort from smoke The bar

main deck, which is two inches thick.
The side armor is continuous and has
mean thickness of twenty inches, TWEEN
ty-four inches amidships. tapering to
sixteen inches at the ends. The depth
of side armor is six and onehalf feet.
The thickness of armor on turrets, bar

inches.
The length of the vessel on water
line is 800 feet; beam, seventy feet;
draught forward and aft, twenty and

battery, six siX-pounder rapid-firing
guns and two thirty-seven MN. Hotch-

The sketch represents the ship clear
ed for action, the boats at other times
being stored on the superstructure. The
presence of a superstructure amidships
adds much to the comfort of mont
tors crew and does not increase her
size as a target, as bridges and other
gear would incumber the space between
the turrets and give the enemy as good
q mark as does a superstructure. This
point is illustrated by a comparison OF
the Minantonomah and the Amphitrite,
the former having no superstructure.

absence OF eight-inch guns means
sacrifice OF offensive power. but there
is corresponding gain in armor pro
