A Navy Officer Tells How a Battered Cruiser Was 1%lade Bale and' Well Again. 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- nel looked like a battered tin -can or a squashed concertina, and her bridge was a mass' of twisted steel and splin- tered woodwork. plintered`-woodwork. The great fore tur- ret looked as though attacked with a gigantic tin-opener; the colossal right twelve -inch gun was snapped „ off short, the daw edges of the steel showing like the teeth of a beast of prey. The midship funnel had com- pletely disappeared with ' its casing, but the after one, strangely enough, had not received so much as a scratch on its paintwork. "Bearing Her Blushing honors." The armored hull bore evidence to the straight shooting indulged in by inside the ship, driving otic old rivets; drills chopped through armored bolts like knives through "cheese; saws cut away battered plating as though it had been tissue paper. The Work went en day and night as if under a magician's wand, And when at the end of their three weeks' leave—they had well earned the rest—the cruiser's complement returned to their ship, they found. that not only had her wounds, been repaired, not only was she fully equipped at all points and ready for' immediate action if needs be, but the dockyardmen had hauled her out of dock and placed her head towards the Channel, had filledherbunkers' with coal aad her magazines with ammu- nition—in sooth, they had healed her and convalesced her, and passed her "Fit for General Service."
