Achievement
of
Royal
Navy
.
.
.
As
the
Royal
Navy
moves
some
strength
towards
Far
Eastern
waters
to
help
the
United
States
Navy
and
ensure
the
defeat
of
Japan
as
it
ensured
Germany's
defeat,
a
review
of
its
great
achievements
so
far
in
the
war
may
be
appropriate
and
interesting.
On
the
Atlantic
9,000
trade
convoys
have
been
taken
in
and
out
of
the
United
Kingdom
over
80,000
miles
of
sea
lanes
regularly
patrolled,
10,000,-000
men
of
the
British
Armies
having
been
moved
by
sea
with
the
loss
of
3,000
men
and
more
than
500
U-boats
destroyed
by
the
Navy.
Many
of
these
convoys
have
seen
great
battles
in
themselves.
The
main
units
of
the
German
Navy
knocked
out
by
the
Royal
Navy
were
the
Graf
Spee
and
Bismarck
whose
sinking,
to
use
the
words
of
the
First
Lord
of
the
Admiralty,
"equalled
a
decisive
defeat
against
a
great
land
army."
.
In
The
Battle
of
the
Mediterranean
at
Taranto
in
November,
1910,
the
Fleet
Air
Arm
put
out
of
action
seven
Italian
warships
in
one
of
the
most
daring
attacks
of
the
war.
At
Mata-pan,
March
1911,
the
Royal
Navy
sank
three
enemy
cruisers
with
no
loss
to
itself
and
dealt
the
Italian
Navy
such
a
lesson
that,
it
was
the
last
time
,it
dared
to
face
open
battle.
Malta
has
been
the
key
to
the
entire
Mediterranean
"campaign.
Forty
great
convoys
in
the
teeth
of
enemy
opposition
sailed
to
Malta.
In
the
summer
of
1912
the
fate
of
the
war
hung
in
the
balance
and
each
convoy
to
Malta
constituted
rv
great
naval
battle.
Malta
remained
ai
great
naval
base
in
spite
of
German.,.ef
forts.

The
convoying

supplies
to
Russia
has
been
thcrNavy's
most
arduous
task
and
conditiQnsJljn
forty
degrees
of
frost
have
been
the
toughest
ever
endured
by
naval
forces
anywhere.
Forty-four
large
convoys
have
been
taken
by
the
Arctic
route
to
Russia
and
88
percent
of
the
cargoes
got
through.
Each
one
of
these
ventures
was
a
major
battle
in
itself.
In
one
attack
the
Germans
threw
in
25
u-boats
and
40
planes.

In

.Not
a

or

was
lost.
In
the
Invasion
of
France,
over
percent
of
the
greatest
armada
of
time
was
British.
The
British
naval
contribution
00
all
to
the
Far
Eastern
war
has
already
been
considerable
and-
absolutely
vital.
Japan
in
April
1912
did
its
utmost
to
repeat
its
Pearl
Harbor
success
against
British
bases
in
India,
Colombo
and
Trincomalee.
A
great
naval
battle
joined
in
the
Bay
of
Bengal
by
which,
though
it
cost
the
Royal
Navy
two
cruisers
and
ah
aircraft
carrier,
Japanese
ambitions
were
permanently
thwarted.
The
Madagascar
campaign
was
carried
out
by
combined
hoyal
Navy
and
military
detachments
which
forestalled
a
Japanese
attack
and
removed
the
threat
of
utmost
peril
to
the
line
of
communication.
The
Royal
Navy
has
kept
thesfc
pcrnrahently
open,
enabling
Allied
strength
to
be
built
up.
Last
year
the
Eastern
Fleet
had
gone
over
to
the
offensive.
As
early
as
spring
the
ships
of
the
Royal
Navy
were
attacking
Sabang,
the
enemy's
oil
centre
in
Sumatra,
then
Surabaya,
the
great
naval
base
in
Java.
Since
D-Day
the
Far
Eastern
operations
of
the
Royal
Navy
have
steadily
increased;
bombardment
of
the
Andamans
and
another
attack
on
Sabang,
and
the
bombardment
(of
the
Padang
cement
works
where
Japanese
pillboxes
are
made;
the
Sigli
railway
works
in
Sumatra
and
three
days
consecutive
bombardment
of
the
Nico-bar
Islands.
The
Royal
Naval
submarines
have
also
bombarded
docks,
oil
installations,
warehouses,
factories,
from
the
Andamans
to
Sumatra
one
of
the
finest
submarine
feats
of
tho
war
was
the
Royal
Navy
exploit
of
last
November
of
sinking
02
Japanese
vessels
on
the
way
to
Rangoon.
This
in
addition
to
the
great
destruction
inflicted

to

it
takes
$1000

Editor,

News:
After
hearing
so
much
about
the
Prince
Rupert
highway
I
find
myself
recalling
the
days
when
the
only
mode
of
transport
along
the
Skeena
river
was
the
flat-bottomed
steamboat.
In
1900
the
steamboat
Monte
Crlsto,
owned
by
the
late
H.
B
Rochester
and
skippered
by
Captain
Walker,
navigated
the
river
carrying
freight
and
passenger
between
Port
Esslngton
and
Hazelton.
This
boat
brought
supplies
for
a
portion
of
the
tele
graph
line
which
ran
through
j
that
town.
However,
the
pioneer
boat
was
j
the
Caledonia,
which
plied
the
rived
under
Captain
Odeii
a
good
many
years
before
1900.
The'
way
the
Caledonia
used
to
shoot
-the
rapids
in
Kltselas
Canyon
was
a
source
of
conversation
among
the
hundreds
of
natives
living
along
the
river.
The
native
name
for
the
Skeeria
river
is
the
Kitshan
and
ft
is
called
Kitshan
by
the
natives
today.
The
highway
is
also
given
that
name
and
