The Loss of the Captain.
DIMENSION’S AND ARMAMENT OF THE VESSEL
—THE FATAL DEFECTS.
One of the largest and most powerfully
armed ships of the British Navy has just
gone down with all her complement of 500
men. Apart from any other explanation,
we are entitled to suppose that the Captain
•Ms sunk off Finisterre because of certain
defects in her construction, which compe
tent judges pronounced fatal—defects which
have lately formed the subject of an
acrimonious newspaper controversy be
tween her builders, Laird Brothers, End the
Chief Constructor of the British Navy, E.
J. Heed. Captain Coles, the designer of
this and of the other British war ships
constructed on the turret principle, has
gone down along with the latest and most
unfortunate evidence of his skill.
The history of the Captain is briefly this:
In April, 1860, “ the Admirality decided to
give Captain Coles the opportunity of re
ducing to practice his own views of what a
sea-going turret cruiser should be.” The
conditions under which she was to be de
signed and built were these :
That provision should be made for the
efficient protection of the vital parts of the
ship from heavy shot.
For the health and comfort of a crew
sufficient in number, not only to work the
guns, but to work the ship with ease, and
to keep her in the order required for an
efficient ship-of-war.
That she should have sufficient speed,
and that she should possess the sea going
qualities of a good cruiser.”
The result was a vessel, regarding whom,
her builders furnish the following figures:
Tonnage 4,272
Displacement, tons 7,t30
Area ol midship section, feet .. 1,185
Nominal horse-power 900
Indicated horse-power 5,989
Speed, knots 14,239

She was fully plated, her armor being, on
the important parts, eight, inches thick!
She carried in her turrets four 25-ton
guns, capable of throwing 600-pound shot.
For bow and stern fire she carried single
7*l nch guns forward and aft. She was
heavily masted, in addition to her great en
gine power and her pair of screws, and it
was claimed that while on her trial cruise
she could tack “ under sail on a circle
round a supposed antagonist” as handily
as one of the old style of wooden frigates
The same observer described her mode of
af tack as follows:
“She covers her battery of guns and
clears her enemy’s decks at the same lime
by the continuous fire from the breech
loaders of her small-arm men, who are
snugly sheltered behind the hammock
breastworks surrounding the upper deck
above the turrets and in the tops. In every
part of this treble-sided arrangement of
men in the turrets, men on the upper deck
as sail-trimmers, and men on the upper
deck and in the tops as small-arm men,
there is no confusion.”
Yet with all the favorable reports of
friendly critics, the Captain was pro
nounced a failure by the chief practical
authority of the Bitish Navy. The, most
conclusive facts against her wore that she
had been made 800 to 900 tons too heavy,
and that thus she floated two feet deeper
than was intended. The Messrs. Laird did
not attempt to deny the miscalculation of
weight—gross as it must appear 1o anyone
conversant with naval architecture—but
attempted to shield themselves under the
actual results she had achieved in point of
speed and manoeuvring. They adduced
the testimony of an Admiral to the follow
ing effect :
“ The Captain is a most formidable ship,
and could, I believe, by her superior arma
ment, destroy all the broadside shins of
this squadron in detail. * * * She is
very easy in seaway, and can use her guns
in any sea in which an action is likely to
be fought. * * * She can be cleared
for action in five minutes. * * * There
is much comfort and accommodation on
board; officers and ship’s company are
well berthed.”
Mr. Reed brings the report of another
Admiral in rebuttal, and, in view of the
Captain’s actual fate, it reads very much
like a prophecy:
“ The weak point in tin- Captain seems
to be tlie absence of direct fore and aft fire,
particularly ahead. A vessel armed jis the
Captain cannot advance end-on in line
abreast with other ships, and (ire sljol in
advance without danger of collision. The
lowness of freeboard exposes her to plung
ing fire through the decks, at the base of
ti e turrets, from ahead, ast rn, diagonally
and abeam. Tin* machinery of the turrets
is thus, in my opinion, endangered. The
masting is much overdone beyond the
strength of her employment (500), and in
terferes very much with her steaming head
lo wind. The spare spars are preparations
for a bonfire ; studding sails and their gear
a great encumbrance and unnecessary. The
wreck of snch large masts falling might he
fatal, by stopping the turrets or masking
theii fire. The mizzen-mast is a standing
menace to the two screws, and should at
once be removed. On a wind, under sail,
only, the ship can do little or nothing
to windward. The hurricane deck and
boats seem to me iu much danger of de
struction by fire in action. ’
Such has been the ominous controversy
that has been waged over the ill-fated
Captain, and it is to be feared that her
loss will more than justify the severest re
flections that have been cast upon her de
signer and builders. That every soul on
board seems to have perished with her is
a melancholy commentary on the construc
tion of such floating engines of havoc aud
slaughter that prove as fatal to their in
mates as to the objects of their attack.
During the war we had more than one in
stance of how certain death was to the
crew of a sunk monitor, and with all her
preposterous combination of- the cruiser
with the monitor, the Captain could scarce
ly fail to be equally infallible in the drown
ing of the men under her armor-plated
decks. We have supped so full of horrovs
during the last few weeks that 500 men
seems but a slender tale of slaughter; but
a peaceful tragedy like this has in some
thing more terrible than the ravages of
actual war. And more especially is this
stf when we read the accusation against her
builders, penned a fortnight ago: “ The
ship’s capabilities arc impaired by this
miscalculation; her stability is compro
mised, and her guns brought so near the
water that it was found desirable, the first
time she went down the channel, to turn
her turrets in a particular position, in or
der to enable the gunners to load without
being deluged by the sea.”
CAPTAIN COLES.
Captain Cowper Phipps Coles, R. N,
wa-i one of the most eminent naval archi
tects and constructors of. Great Britain,
strictly in reference to ships of war with
the most recent improvements perhaps the
most eminent. He was the sou of a clergy
man, served on various home and foreign
stations, and was on board the Agamem
non in the Crimean war, where he was
honorably mentioned in general orders
both at Sebastopol and in the minor opera
tions, particularly those in the Sea of Azov.
Captain Coles suggested to his superior
officers a mode of protecting guns and float
ing batteries by shields and plated para
pets. His suggestions, though imperfect,
were taken up for investigation, and hur
ried through as rapidly as the notoriously
Slow official processes of the British Ad
miralty would admit. He meanwhile laid
•*he matter before Sir I. K. Brunei, the great
engineer, and that quick intellect instantly
saw the applicability of the railroad turn
table ; this was improved by Coles into the
capote tmd revolving tnrret, and ip 1862
Captain Coles had the constrnetfiJh *of the
Royal Sovereign, the first of the great
British tnrreted iron-clads, on which have
been modelled the great sea-going iron
clads of the British navy, Prince Albert,
Minotaur, and others. Captain Coles was
61 years of age.

“ The Life is the Blood.”
From it we derive our strength, beauty
and mental capabilities. It is the centre ot our
being, around which revolves all that makes

SCROFULA.
This i6 a taint or infection of the human or
ganism, and probably no one is wholly free
from it. It exhibits itself iu various shapes—

It has been the custom to treat these dis
eases with Mercury aud other Mineral sub
stances, which, though sometimes producing a
cure, often prove injurious and eutails misery
in alter life. The long known injurious prop
erties of these so-called alteratives aud puri
fiers has led thepliilanlhropieal man of science
to explore the arena ol uature, the result of
which lias -been the discovery ol vegetable pro
