Synopsis

Excerpt from The Saturday Review of Politics, Literature, Science and Art, Vol. 108: 3 July, 1909

A very interesting point was raised by questions in the House of Lords about the visit of the fleet to the Thames. It was pointed out by Lord Ellenborough and Lord Cawdor that, according to the Admiralty plans published in the newspapers, a great part Of the fleet would be bottled up in the narrow waters of the Thames and be placed in an extremely risky position. Lord Crewe would not deny positively that this plan had been authorised by the Admiralty. It seems then to have been worth while to raise the question, and according to the now authorised plan the large ships are to be placed at Southend in a channel so broad that bottling up need not be feared. Lord Crewe may argue against the possibility of a coup de main on the ground that it would be a brigand attack not to be contemplated from any civilised Power, but it is better to be on the safe side.
