The Grand Fleet. By Lieutenant J. Coleridge, R.N.V.R. (P. Lee Warner. 3s. 64. net.)—This is an interesting set of pen-and.ink sketches made at Scapa, in the Forth, or in the North Sea during the war. The author, an architect by profession, was in the 'Glorious,' one of the astonishing "Hush "-ships, whose funnel, he tells us, would accommodate two tramcars abreast. He sketched the American battleships with their huge lattice meats, the ex-Turkish ' Agincourt ' with her numerous turrets, and, strangest of all, the plane-carrier 'Argus,' which the Fleet at first eight took to be a battle-practice target, as the upper deck, very high above the water, is little more than a bare platform for the aeroplanes to rise from or descend upon.
