We looked into the Naval College, where officers go to study a variety of professional subjects.  When papa was a boy the Naval College was used as the Britannia now is--as a training-school for naval cadets. Finding an officer going on board the Excellent--gunnery ship--we accompanied him.  We were amused to find that the Excellent consists of three ships moored one astern of the other, and that not one of them is the old Excellent, she having been removed.  Our friend invited us to accompany him on board an old frigate moored a little way up the harbour, from which we could see some interesting torpedo experiments.
