And there are not only all the very newest devices of aggressive warfare--indeed, she has the newest up-to-date torpedoes and torpedo-guns--but also the old-fashioned rocket-tubes, which in certain occasions are so useful.
She has electric guns and the latest Massillon water-guns, and Reinhardt electro-pneumatic "deliverers" for pyroxiline shells.

She is even equipped with war-balloons easy of expansion, and with compressible Kitson aeroplanes.

The crew are worthy of her.

I can't imagine where Rooke picked up such a splendid lot of men.

They are nearly all man-of-warsmen; of various nationalities, but mostly British.
