3 First Quotations from Robert W. Cole
battleship n. | 1900 | Struggle for Empire iii. 46 A vast fleet was assembled at a short distance from London, ready to dash into space…. There were in all nearly 300 huge first-class battleships…and 500 swift ships to act as cruisers, besides numerous transports filled with soldiers.
boat n. | 1900 | Struggle for Empire x. 136 It was many months now since he had seen Flora, and it would be months before he could see her again: for the war was raging all round the planet, and it was unsafe for any boat but an armoured battleship to venture into space.
cruiser n. | 1900 | Struggle for Empire vi. 82 As soon as the fleet was fairly launched into space the torpedo-nets were let down, in case the ships might come into contact with any of the enemy’s swift cruisers.
