the following description Of novel impe-
ment Of war intended to operate against the
blockading aeet;
At Algiers formidable instrument Of de-
siructi on is being prepared, and was expect
ed to be launched about the 20th. The
tug boat Enoch Train, built in Boston, and
one Of the most powerful tugs Of her class.
has been converted to a purpose never in
tended by her builder or BY the gentleman
whose name she bears. The upper portion
Of the boat has been covered with railroad
iron, and perfectly shielded from the attack
Of an ordinary cannonade. At the bow a
ram has been constructed. The bow has
been built out to the extent OF Ave feet, heav-
lily framed with timber, and then covered
with heavy wrought metal.
At the extreme end formidable mass of
iron projects in the form Of knob. Beneath
this knob and beneath the surface Of the wa
ter two strong grapples have been arranged
so fashioned that upon coliding with ship
the claws will fasten into the side Of the YES
sci and take a firm hold. Protected by these
grapples in manner not unlike an insects
lance or sting. there projects an anger con-
nected by means Of shafting. with an inde-
pendent machine on the boat. This instru-
ment is intended 10 operate as follows: Up.
on the attachment Of the grapples to the side
OF the attacked vessel. the auger will be set
in rapid motion and bore its way into the
side. When one hole has been forced
through. the anger can be Withdrawn, and BY
means Of an independent axle; the position
will be changed 50 as to operate upon ano,h-
er part Of she ship. thus boring HIDES rapidly
and large enough 10 sink the vessel. The
boat will have crew Of six men. who will
be projected beneath the iran roof. the pilot
