WRITER'S VIEW
GREAT ARMADA
Continued From Page ~

The tripod masts, with the control
bridge and crows nest, had not been
subjected to a severe trial, as the sec.
ondary batteries of the German ships
never had been within range and the
big guns devoted their attention to
the more vital parts of the ship.
A torpedo boat picked up a portion
Of the party from the Lion and the re-
mainder from the almost equally cele-
brated Tiger, which looked like new
ly commissioned ship despite the many
times she Is reported to have been
sunk.
Run Along the Line.
The oil burning torpedo boat tore
along the impressive line of battle
cruisers in the battle formation in
which they expect to meet the Ger
man fleet.
Beyond the battle cruisers a long
line of light cruisers lost itself in the
fog. Some Of these vessels are veter-
ans and show signs Of the rough
patrol work they are called on con-
stantly to do, but many are newly COM
missioned and have yet to wear the
scars of service.
Speed, now the fetish Of the navy,
reached the zenith with these light
cruisers. Any of them could easily
overhaul the fastest liner so far built.
Beyond the light cruisers was a great
flotilla of GOLFERS constantly feeding
the hungry stoke holds of the battle
cruisers, which even at anchor keep
up full head of steam.
Scattered about the fleet were sew
eral destroyer squadrons with light
cruiser leaders and merchant ships as
parents.
Old Ships Just "Bait."
After sweeping around the destroy
ers the torpedo boat headed toward a
looking formidable
enough to the layman but lightly re-
ferred to by the officers accompanying
the party as a third line unit or bait to
entice the German fleet into the North
sea.
The personnel of the whole fleet
erly interested in the work despite the
conditions under which
their patrol work in the North sea is
done
The battle cruiser Princess Royal,
which was visited by the party had
only two members Of her crew in the
sick bay. Both these men were SUI
fering from injuries caused by foot
ball, which is played whenever field
is available.
Rumors of the possibility Of Zeppelin
raids on the fleet were life, and the
officers and men expressed an eager
hope that the Zeppelins would come
to give the gunners chance to test
their anti-aircraft guns.
