Thee weather was -Tule andtheget, smooth, -sand a great crowd saw the vessel take the water. As the warship slipped from her blocks she was christened by the Countess Beauchamp. Counting the three cruising bat- tleships of the Invincible class, the St. Vincent is the eighth vessel of the Dreadnoughtstype to be launch - o1 in this country. The Admiral- ty has observed its. usual reticence with regard to the details of the design and construction of the St. Vincent, but from certain figures that were given out it is manifeat that the experience gained from the fildion of the Dreadneughb has been utilized in this vessel. It is believed that .4 -eine of the addi- tional 'Weight of the St. Vincent is o be accounted -for hy heavier ar- mament for protection against tor- pedoes, and by improvements giv- mg greater security to those con- trolling the movements of the ship while in action.- A number of for- eign naval attaches attended the launching, on the invitation of the Admiralty. The St. Vincent was laid down in December of last year. She is sup- posed to be of . about 10,250 tons and her cost has been given at $9,e 500,00. SCALED THE JAIL WALL.
