J.aban's First Var VeSSel.

Lord Elgin, the first British Minis
ter to Japan, presented to the Shotgun
on behalf of the Queen a small yacht
of 400 tons, named the Emperor, and
this was the first steam vessel owned
by the japanese Government. Shortly
after the restoration the Mikado's
Government purchased from the United
States Government the Stonewall Jack
son, an ironelad ram of 1900 tons bur-
den, and this was the first ironclad
owned by the Japanese. In Septem-
Der, 1867, the Shotgun obtained from
the British Government the services of
Commander Tracy, r. n. (now Admiral
Sir r. Tracy, and a small party OF
British naval officers and men, for the
purpose of giving systematic instruc-
ton in seamanship and gunnery to
young Japanese officers; but five
months later the revolution which
drove the Shotgun from his position
broke out, and the Naval Mission, as
it was termed. was withdrawn, first
to Yokohama, and then home to Eng
land. In the year 1873, when the new
Government had got somewhat settled,
a second naval mission, headed = by
Commander Douglas, r. N. (now Ad-
miral Douglasl, consisting of about
thirty men and officers, was lent by
the British Government, and during
six years it did excellent service in
training officers and laying the founda-
tion of the Japanese navy. A naval
college was built in Toxic, and a very
complete course of study and training
was organized. The naval college was
later on removed to Etajima, in the
Inland Sea, an academy for senior Off
GERS was established at Toxic. and gum
merry and torpedo schools were also or
ganized. Yokusuka dockyard, which
had been started under the Shotgun
by French engineers, was extended and
is now very large and important es-
tablishment, and generally the organ
ization of the Naval Department was
put on a basis which enabled it to
develop on right lines and lead up to
its present very important position. In
1877 the japanese seriously entered on
the acquisition CT modern fighting ships
and in that year the first ship espe-
cially built for them in England-a
broadside central battery ship of 300
tons-designed by Sir Edward Reed.
was launched on the Thames. She was
followed by several small but power
fully armed ironclads. Since the war
with China a great expansion has TAX
