The great cruiser was indeed in a
pitiable state; she looked the epitome
of desolation and misery as the fussy
little tugs hauledher' gently past the
chequered forts at Spithead, and
headed her tenderly .towards that
home of healing for such battered
hulks as she—Portsmouth Royal
Dockyard,
Her foremast was snapped off
short, and ` her fire control top had
completely disappeared; the fore fun-

tered woodwork.

gigantic tin-opener; the colossal right
twelve -inch gun was snapped „ off

prey. The midship funnel had com-
pletely disappeared with ' its casing,

had not received so much as a scratch
on its paintwork.

The armored hull bore evidence to

drills chopped through armored bolts

the British ministry of food as a
