THE NEW TURKISH GUNBOAT.—The Tutkish gunboat
Bovana, 162 tons, has made a short trial trip of a very
satisfactory nature, an average of nine knots per Lour
having been accomplished. Since our report of the launcit,
the vessel has been beautifully fitted as regards the cabins,
and has received the warlike complement of a pivot gun at
the bow to carry 121 b. shot. With Messrs. Ravenhill and
Co's 16-horse power engines, all other appurenances, sores,
and 10 tons of coal, the Boyatia drnns water four inches
within the specified draught (three feet); this may be con-
sidered a feat even by Mr. Thompson, the builder, whose
achievements in the way of shipbuilding on the diagonal
principle are well-known. We believe that several eminent
firms were applied to respecting the huild•ng of
a golf
for shallow rivers, but they declined to attempt comoance
with the somewhat exacting specification of the Turkish g_o-
boat
vernment in respect
.to draught. The Blyana is all teak,
and is classed at Lloyd's, A 1,14 years.
