The Spithead Review.
Prior to the dispersal of the warships, the King in the Royal yacht, escorted by forty torpedo-boats, the Alberta ' and other yachts, traversed the lines eastward, and anchored at rit. Helens. A gale was raging at the time, and the weather was misty, with occasional torrents of rain. The fleet then steamed seaward in two columns. The foreign warships present paraded befo e the King, saluting and manning the yards as they passed.
The King’s parting message to the fleet was, “ Magnificent sight. Splendid order kept.”
