Pirst. it would take three
years to Lieak up the slops and
the junk would bring only
alMiut $2,roi).nM.
Second, any country taking
over the ships would lie faced
with insuperable obstacle to
find spare parts.
Third, the -dims now are ob
solete.
Potirth their use as merchant
men is impossible owing to their
erormous coal consumption, and
the difficulty yfOdapting' their
interiors to merchant uo.
' Fifth, the idea of sinking the
ships for breakwater punMises
has been proved impracticable
by experiments made at Scnpa

bable that the idea of mak'ng
