Up 70 recently training was conducted
partly on modern cruisers and partly on
sailing ships. Previous TO 1867 the naval
cadets and bluejackets were trained on
three sailing ships. Since the spring Of
1901 cruisers have displaced the sailing
craft The decision 90 abolish entirely

employed in teaching gunnery 10 the -u-

a thorough acquaintance with the iut1i-
