HC Deb 20 February 1894 vol 21 c846
MR. GIBSON BOWLES (Lynn Regis)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether H.M.S. Sharpshooter has been tried since she was fitted with the French Belleville water-tube boilers: and, if so, with what results as regards her boilers and engines?

SIR U. KAY-SHUTTLEWORTH

The Sharpshooter has just commenced her trials, and so far has been tried in the basin only. The results are quite satisfactory.
