This force is divided into squadrons, and stationed in the various parts of the world. At East India and China there are 51 vessels-of-war; at the North American and West India Station, 29; Mediterranean, 29; West Coast of Africa, 22; Pacific, 13; South Coast of America, 11; Cape of Good Hope, 8; Australia, 7. Then, in the Channel, there is a large reserve force, held in readiness to sail at a moment's notice, to any point. It will thus be seen that, in every quarter of the globe, an armament of British ships hovers about, rendering our naval force all-powerful and ubiquitous. No idle boast is it, therefore, no mere sentiment which proclaims the bold and oft-repeated assertion BRITANNIA RULES THE WAVES! THE END.
