After the use of one Of these engines on board OF the

Of these engines Msmrs. Nourse Csryl sold but ten
of them. During that period, they were visited by
thousands of persons, many Of whom declared them

would give them. But they failed 70 buy-some because
they were fearful of being "ha@bugged;" osher,
because they were disausded by the advice and niu-

confidence in their own judgment.
During this long period Of popular distruH, Messr'.
