P. 221. COMBINED OPERATIONS 123 case a delay of no less than twenty days before the disembarkation could be effected was brought about. How much, on occasions such as are under discus- sion, we are in the hands of the wind and weather is also exemplified in the story of our landing in the Crimea. Surf still obstructs an invader and protects the invaded as much as ever it did. The feasibility of the landing cannot be guaranteed from hour to hour. A gale fifty miles away may stop it for days. Wit...h- out surf the open beach is probably the best of all landing-places where speed is of importance ; but, since we cannot control the weather, we can never, when time is a factor in the problem, safely select such a spot. Neither does the substitution of steam for sails aid us greatly. It gives precision to the movements of the ships, and it enables them to anchor where a sailing-vessel would not have dared to venture. Steam- boats may tow rowing-boats to the shore, but they cannot allow their own keels to grate upon the sand or shingle.
