STARCH MANUFACTURERS

tons per 24 hours; to spare fuel she was not driven,
and was even run at a slow rate sometimes. Her
average, therefore, was about seven knots an hour.
Her maximum speed would b 3 about nine. She has
brought with her 40 tons of her stores, and has
lightened by about ten inches of her draught.
There appears no reason to suppose that she is
not a fairly comfortable ship for sailors, notwith-
standing her submersion. No less than six donkey
engines are kept at work while
..at sea, which by
means of blowers draw air from the great ventilat-
ing shaft and distribute it through all parts of the
ship. In harbour two of these were so engaged,
and kept the atmosphere tolerably cool, though
there was at the time a crowd of visitors on board,
which was to dense as to test there utility severely.
The reports of the discomfort caused to the men on
board the Monit3rs while in action from the vibra-
tion.of the metal when struck by shot appears to
have been a great deal exaggerated. Those of
the sailors who had experience of the contests
with the forts of Charleston complained of
nothing but the loud noise, but they say that if
by chance a man's head happened to be against
the metal at the time it was struck, a stunning
concussion, if not death, was the result. The
turrets had not been pierced. A 200-pounder
round shot striking one of them used leaves a dint
in shape pretty inue,l4ce the concave of a .saucer.
The -Miantonomoh proceeds at the end of this
week or the beginning of next to Portsmouth, her
ultimate destination being Russia. She is to be ac-
' eompanied by the Augusta, which acts the part of
parent to the fledgling now trying its first flight
across the broad waters. The Ashuelot is bound for
China. This last vessel is one of a class built for
service in the southern rivers. Though a sloop of
ten guns she draws but Bft. of water. To obviate
the necessity of turning she was constructed to steer
at both ends, but in view of her present long
voyage this arrangement has been altered, and she
steers from only one point. Her rudder is upon a
pin, running through the centre, and the steerage
power this gives is said to be extraordinary. She
obeys her helm with such. rapidity as to puzzle pilots
who are unprepared for it. When leaving St.
John's, the pilot in charge, in consequence of his
ignorance of this peculiarity, ran into a brig, which
was cut down to the water's edge, and sunk in three
minutes. The crew, fortunately, were saved by
jumping on board the Ashuelot. This vessel and
the A ugusta are both markedby the American pecu-
liarity of carrying a heavy armament in proportion
to size. The Augusta, which was a Californian
mail steamer of about 1,500 tons, purchased by the
United States Government during the late war, car-
ries four Dahlgren 100-pounders, three Parrot
rifled guns, one of them throwing shot of 12511 x,
and three brass howitzers.

The officers of the vessels are not merely cour-
teous to visitors, but seem anxious to have their
ships inspected. Those accustomed to the fondness
of a sailor for his own ship, whatever she may be,
cannot help being struck with the manner in which
all on board her consorts appear to think and
take pride only in the Monitor. It may possibly
be a result of the rapid changes which the war
caused, often leaving a man little time to become
acquainted with the craft with which his destiny
was identified; but it appears more as if the strange-
ness and formidable nature of the ship were a sort
of American property, and that she was accepted as
a type of national power.
