An Engine of Destruction,

A queer, rakish, mud-turtle-like craft steamed
out of the navy-yard, Brooklyn, on Wednesday,
and steamed Town the bay. 1t was the newly
finished torpedo boat Alarm, bound down the bay
on a 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,
Commodore hind, Captain Jones, of the British
navy, and IN officer of the German navy.
The steamers torpedo apparatus is a long snout
ten feet below the surface of the water. This
snout is really a cylindrical tube, in which plays
a tongue which can be thrust out fifteen feet be-
yond the orifice of the tube. The torpedo is at
tached to this tongue. At each discharge the
tongue is returned to compartments in the largest
part of the snout, there to be re~charged,
The Fowler patent steering propeller is a hori-
zontal wheel, with feathering wheels so arranged
that the vessel 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 utmost ease. The vessel was made
to turn completely around in a diameter of 200
feet, while a speed of eight miles an hour was OBJ
tanned from a little over half her engine power.
Changing from full speed ahead to full speed
astern occupied thirty seconds. The steering
gear is operated by small engines and seems to be
perfect.
Besides the torpedo apparatus the craft carries
a fifteen inch gun in the centre of her bow, so that
her attacks both above and below water will be
irresistible,
