flat floored amidships, and a deep rudder,” of which
it is said locally that to sail it well a man must be born
in one—so dangerous is it to handle by the inexperi-
enced. The Pilot Coble is another bit of true north-
east coast sea life. The pilot has just left the ship
that is making sail out to sea. There is a heavy sea
on, and the wind is blowing to a gale ; but the coble,
with its rudder deep in the water, acting as a centre-
board, cuts gaily through the waves. This is a fine
piece of live draughtsmanship. In Dunwich,
IQI2, Mr. Dawson shows again the suggestive
value of the medium for seascape, for here the
pictorial interest is not so much in the ancient
ruined church on the crumbling cliffs, as in “ the
long relapse of recoiling water and the wash of the
refluent wave,” where once was a city of churches.
The Crumbling Cliffs of Dunwich suggests still
more ruin to come, but in Under the Cliffs Mr.
Dawson is happy again with the drawing of a boat
that really lives in the water. He has done a large
number of these vivid soft-ground etchings of our
sea-coasts and at Messrs. Colnaghi and Obach’s one
may see what a refreshing change they make from
the chronic architectural etching of the day.
THE WORKMEN’S COLONIES OF
THE KRUPP COMPANY AT
ESSEN. BY L. DEUBNER.
In the development of workmen’s colonies in.
Germany the settlements established by the firm of
Friedrich Krupp have played a conspicuous part.
The explanation of this is of course that no-
German town has owed its expansion to the pros-
perity of a single industrial undertaking so much
as Essen, which in the year 1850 was still a small
country town with a population of 9000. At that
time the Krupp factory gave employment to about
one hundred workmen, but twenty-five years later
the number had risen to ten thousand and the
population of the town had risen to 55,000. At
the last census, in 1906, Essen had taken its place
among the great cities of the German Empire with
a population numbering close on 240,000, the army
of Krupp employees totalling more than 35,00c,
Figures such as these indicate clearly enough how
the growth of the town and that of the factory have
gone hand in hand, and also with what a remark-
able rapidity this development has taken place—a
