Among those who received copies of the inquiry was a New York writer. He thought the proposition over for a spell, and then sent back the truthful answer by wire, collect: "One at a time." There was an explosion of one of the big guns on a battleship not long ago. Shortly afterward one of the sailors who was injured was asked by a reporter to give an account of it.
The Italians for a short period held a small portion of the line in the Gaza sector, but did not advance with our force; the French detachment were solely employed as garrison troops. The French battleship Requin and two French destroyers cooperated with the ships of the Royal Navy in the bombardment of the coast.
Britling had been lunching on a battleship and looking over its intricate machinery.
Again the Tank is like a slug. The slug, as every biological student knows, is unexpectedly complicated inside. The Tank is as crowded with inward parts as a battleship. It is filled with engines, guns and ammunition, and in the interstices men. "You will smash your hat," said Colonel Stern. "No; keep it on, or else you will smash your head." Only Mr.
Ivan had elected to join the Anglo-French forces at Salonika; the other British officer had found his own regiment there and the girl, whom it had been the good fortune of the boys to save from the Bulgarians, found friends in the Greek city who had taken her in charge. Hal, Chester and Stubbs had embarked on a French battleship, homeward bound. After due time they landed in Marseilles.
The "Pollard" was between the two. To go ahead meant a collision with the second battleship, while to reverse speed meant to back into the battleship just passed. To turn and run between them in either direction might have been feasible, but the battleships, seeing the trouble of the little submarine, were sounding conflicting signals. It was a situation that had to be met and solved in a second.
We flew ahead rapidly, and presently could clearly discern that the vessels to starboard were large battleships and those to port were destroyers. At one o'clock the two fleets were about nineteen thousand yards apart and were jockeying for positions. Suddenly four vessels detached themselves from the German battleship line and steamed at high speed across the head of the American column.
As a matter of fact the only injury sustained by the Russians was that which happened to the battleship Sevastopol, which struck one of our mines as she was returning to Port Arthur anchorage, and was only got into the harbour with the utmost difficulty.
"Look!" he shouted in Dick's ear. "We didn't start a moment too soon. See her that great big cigar-shaped thing, dropping over there?" It was the Zepplin the battleship of the air. She was dipping down, descending gracefully, over Bray Park. "I was right!" cried Harry. "Now we can go to work at once we won't have to land and wait!" He rose still higher, then flew straight for Bray Park.
In our recent war, when an extensive operation was contemplated, the speed of one battleship reduced the calculated speed of the fleet by one knot, one sea mile per hour. But, it may be urged, will not your slowest speed be much increased, if every vessel be originally faster?
