The Naugatuck can carry coal for twelve
days, and crew large enough to work the
vessel and handle her armament. The latter
consists Of single one hundred poutder Of
the Parrot pattern, which experiments have
proved to be perhaps the most formidable
riled gun in the world. When the Nauga
tuck is sunk TO her fighting depth by the ad,
mission OF water to the chambers in her bow
and stern, her entire machinery, steering ap-
paratus and vulnerable parts will be below
the water line; and nothing will be exposed
TO the enemy's guns but narrow piece OF
white pine (which does not splinter) consti
tuting the gunwale, and the gun itself. Her
small size and the scsntiness Of her exposed
lines would enable her approach close to q
hostile vessel 10 dark night and deliver her
one hundred, pounder with terrible effect
The Naugatuck will start for Washington at
an early day. Capt. Faunce, late OF the rev.
enue cutter Harriet Lane. has. by directions
Of the Government, inspected this novel craft
during her preparations for service.-N. Y.
