CAPE COLONY'S PRESENT TO THE NAVY

H.M.S. Good Hope, the magnificent new war vessel which the Cape Government has presented to the British Navy, dropped anchor at Spithead on Sunday afternoon, having been safely brought from the Fairfield Shipbuilding Yard on the Clyde by a specially selected navigating party from Portsmouth. She will undergo finishing touches in Portsmouth dockyard. With the exception of the Powerful and Terrible, she is the largest cruiser that has ever steamed into the historic anchorage. She displaces 19,100 tons, draws only 28 ft. of water, and has an indicated horse-power of 30,000, against the 25,000 of the Powerful and her sister vessel. She is also designed to steam a knot faster -viz., 23 knots an hour. Her defensive power is immensely superior to the cruisers named, and she is more formidably armed, being capable of hurling at an enemy several tons of shot and shell a minute.

Mrs. M. M. McD. Sceales, of 14, Drummond Place, Edinburgh, writes that, in a letter from South Africa, an officer asks for field glasses, as they would be invaluable for his non-commissioned officers. He added that the great danger in the war was that they never knew friend from foe till he was right on them.

The following extraordinary advertisement appeared in the Standard: "A little Briton would like to negotiate for an exchange of Prisoners with Free State. Christmas would be a good time or sooner.-G. F. P. not G. H. P." "Can this be," asks the Globe, "a desperate attempt to get rid of Mr. Lloyd-George?" The Globe also says: "A suggestion was made at the St. Asaph Guardians' meeting that he should be employed to discover the whereabouts of certain persons wanted for deserting their wives and children. He will, perhaps, realize the humour of the situation more fully when he is asked to
break up a crowd of pro-Boer rioters on Peckham-rye or remove the Vierkleur from Limerick Town Hall."
