proved themselves to be the best all
around fighters in the navy. They
are good NJ long, quick runs, chasing
cruisers, demolishing forts, sinking
torpedo boats, or any old thing they
are called upon to do. OF course much
depends upon the men in command,
but the best informed naval experts
are coming to consider that very
formidable armored cruiser, amount
ing to q battleship of unusually high
speed and quick action, as we'll as q
very efficient armament, will be the
ship of the future. So far IL has in no
case been necessary for one of our
ships to run away from a foe. 1t looks

stand and shoot straight. No vessel
can long withstand the fire from
good sized modern guns handled by
our invincible American Runners.
