His Majesty's Canadian ship Rainbow that was purchased as a training vessel from Great Britain by the Laurier adminis- tration, is to be sold. The Esquimalt Navy Yard was established in 1845, two years after; the founding of the Hudson Bay trading post in Victoria. From time to time it was built up by the Imperial Government, hun- dreds of thousands of dollars be- ing spent in the erection of docks, stores, forts and administration buildings. When the Imperial Government withdrew its naval squadron from this coast, the navy yard was turned over to the Canadian Gov-_ ernment and was little used for a number of years. The sloops of war Algerine and Shearwater in the British Government ser- vice still continued to make her headquarters there and the old Egeria did survey work out of that port. When the Borden Government came into power the Rainbow was paid off and laid up and the yard neglected. The outbreak of hos- tilities, however, caused renewed mtérest at the Navy Yard und the forts were manned, the biggest guns, the 9-2 on Signal Hill, being ithe heaviest calibre there.
