SCOTTS AT GREENOCK.

"Take it all in all, a ship of the line is the most honourable thingthat man, as a gregarious animal, has ever produced.... Intothat he has put as much of his human patience, common sense,forethought, experimental philosophy, self-control, habits of orderand obedience, thoroughly wrought hand-work, defiance of bruteelements, careless courage, careful patriotism, and calm expectationof the judgment of God, as can well be put into a space of300 feet long by 80 feet broad."—Ruskin.
