ROUGH PASSAGE OF A BATTLESHIP.
London, March li
The first-class battleship Resolution, 14,150 tons, had a rough experience at sea daring the gale. Her decks were continually washed by hnge seas. The waves bent an armoured door and snapped the chain controlling the tiller^ leaving the huge mass of metal flying from side to side. The handsteering wheel was also rendered useless. . The vessel was steered to Plymouth by the alternate use of the twin-screws.
