ERICSsON'S TORPEDO BOAT.

Captain Ericsson's new torpedo boat, which lies at
the dock the Delamater Iron Works at the foot OF
West Thirteenth street, steamed up the river yester-
day morning, to point opposite Manhattanville.
where her speed tried several times over short
course marked by certain lines of vision from tho
shore After her return to the dock an effort was
made by HERALD reporter to learn the result OF the
trial; but the charge. evidently acting under
instructions, would say nothing more than that the
result had been satisfactory.
A call made Captain Ericsson, but he de-
clared that no report had been made to him. You
must excuse me- he said. from saying anything to
you about the torpedo. for have been misrepre-
sented in the reports that have been printed that
have determined to say nothing. Reporters have been
and have refused to say anything. and then they
have gone to other people--to the workmen. sup
poseand have printed the most absurd stories. For
instance they said l expected to get speed OF
twenty five miles hour. Now 1t is absurd. 1
don't expect and don't want to attain any such speed
1t is enough for to make greater speed tnan the
average ironclad.
.And what speed is that 2?
'.It is about thirteen knots an hour
1t then suggested that the probable cause OF the
the failure to obtain correct
information from Captain Ericsson himself and he re-
piled, why should tell anything about an invention
/ working at 1t is cruel thing that should be
obliged to tell what am doing when there are in
ventors all around who are ready TO catch ut my
ideas and patent them. When Whitehead invented
his torpedo he kept it entirely private and when ne
completed it he made lot of money out OF it. 1t -
only right for man to keep silence, and you must
really excuse me from saying anything.
