The new torpedo boat designated by Ad-
mlral Porter, and which will soon arrive at
our navy yard fo- experimental purposes, is
thus described in New York paper:
queer, rakish. mud-turtle-like craft
steamed out Of the navy yard, Brooklyn,
and headed down the bay. 1t was the newly
finished torpedo boat Alarm bound down
the bay on trial trip to test her engines,
and especially the new patent steering
propeller with which she is fitted. She had
on board Admiral Porter, who designed her,
Admiral Boggs, Captain Schufeldt. Com
modore Rhind, Captain Jones, of the British
navy, and an officer of the German navy.
The steamers torpedo apparatus is a long
snout projecting twenty feet forward of her
Dow' ana is ten feet below the surface of the
water: 1h!s snout is really cylindrical
tuoe' IN which p!svs tongue which can be
thrust out fifteen feet bey yond the oriice of
the tube. The torpedo is attached to this
tongue. AZ each discharge the tongue is
returned to compartments in the largest
part OF the snout, there to be recharged.
Ahe OVER patent steering propeller is
horizontal wheel. with feathering blades SO
arranged tina. the We ssel can be steered by
changing the angle of the blade while she is
at the same time propelled. The engines
were not operated at their greatest speed,
as the main OBJECT was to test the steering
apparatus. Several experiments were made
with this IN the lower harbor 1t worked
with the utmost ease. The vessel was made
to turn completely around in diameter Of
2oo feet, while speed Of eight miles an
hour was obtained from little over half
her engine power Changing from tull
speed ahead to full! speed astern occupied
thirIE seconds. The steerin. gear is oper-
perfect.
Besides The torpedo apparatus, the craft
carries hiteen-;ach gun in the centre of
her bow. so that her attacks both above
and below water will be irresistible.
