THE CRUISER EURYALUS. A recent cable announcing that the armoured cruiser Euralyus—Greek for broad .nail, pronounced with the accent on the y .whilst under tow going to Kiel to be broken upi had gone ashore, recalls Hie visit of this vessel as the flaghip of the Autralian station from 1901-1906 to Otago Heads, in February, ■1905. She was then commanded by Vice- • admiral Panshawe, and was accompanied by •H.M.S.S. Challenger and Psyche. The two smaller ships entered Port Chalmers, bnt the flagship, drawing over 26ft of water, remained at the Heads. The Euryalus, laid down in : 1901, and completed in 1904, belonged to the , “Creasy” class, which embraced the Aboukir, Bacchante, Cressy, Euryalus, Hogue, and Sutlej. She was then a brand-new ship, and served her first commission on the Australian station, and her commander-in-chief, who was afterwards promoted, was the first naval officer to hoist his flag on the Australian station as admiral. At that time sho was the largest cruiser which had been seen in these waters. Sho had an unfortunate cradle history, once being damaged by fire and once through slipping the blocks while in dock. On both occasions the damage don© was considerable. Built at Barrow, by Vickers, Maxim, and Son, like her sister-ships, she was of 12,000 tons, 440 ft long, 694 ft beam, 26ft 3in draught, and 21,000 h.p, carrying 750 men. and steaming 19 knots, and possessing an armament A two 9in, 12 6in.. 12 12pounders, and three 3-poundera guns.

Sho has throo writs on her masts on behalf of three plaintiffs, the captain, engineer, and a fireman. The vessel has been lying idle at Auckland einco April. CONTENTED CREWS. WHITE STAR LINE’S EXAMPLE. All hands on the Suevic, which arrived at Melbourne last week, boast of an ‘‘esprit do corps,” which, tlioy say, has revolutionised, the management of the vessel. Officers and men have found much in common in the Suevio Social and Athletic Club, the administration of which is carried out on a business basis by members of the crew. The officers arc honorary members, and, while taking an active interest in the club, assist it financially. Quoting the simple, expressive language of the club’s minute book, the objects are: “To provide healthy, enjoyable recreation for our members and to bring closer together each department (officers, stewards, firemen, etc.), thus doing away with the old style of class distinction, and putting all men on an equal footing. But we must at all times respect our superior officers, and each member is to respect bis follow-member. On no account must the club interfere with the working of the ship’s business.” Practically the whole of the ship’s company has joined tho movement. “We claim that our brotherhood is an example for Australian seamen,” said the secretary (Mr J. Thurston). “Football and cricket teams are being coached for matches ashore. We have a jazz band and a concert party. Successful performances have been given for the benefit of hospital funds.” •“There is no doubt," said tho commander (Captain Alexander E. Jackson) “that the club has hod a good effect.” Another officer expressed the opinion that formation of similar organisations on Australian vessels would have a far-reaching_ effect industrially, and would tend to minimise the influence of the extremist element.
