binary kind. So great were the facili-
ties at its command, and SO thorough
and complete its methods, that ten or q
dozen shipyards and foundrics were set
to work simultaneously to build one of
these ships. In maryelously short
time the syndicate possessed several Of
them ready for action.
These vessels became technically
known as "crabs.' They were not
large. and tho only part of them which
projected above the water, was the mid
die of an elliptical deck, slightly con-
yex, and heavily mailed with ribs of
steel. These vessels were fitted with
electric engines OF extraordinary power,
and were capable Of great speed. At
their bows. fully protected by the over
hanging deck, was the machinery by
which their peculiar work was to be ac-
conplished. The syndicate intended to
conGne Itself to marine operations, and
for the present it was contented with
these two classes of vessels.
The armament for each of the large
vessels, as has been said before, con-
sisted of single gun of long range, and
the ammunition was confined entirely to
a new style of proiectile, which had
never yet been used in warfare. The
material and construction of this pro-
jectile were known only to three mem
.bers of the syndicate, who had invented
and perfected it, and it was on account
of their possession Of this secret that
they had been invited to Join that body.

that vessel steamed about mile nearer
the harbor, accompanied by Crab A.
Tho other repeller and crab remained in
their first position, ready to act in case
they should be needed.
The approach OF two vessels, evidently
men-of-war, and carrying the American
flag, was perceived from the forts and
redoubts at the mouth Of tho harbor,
and the news quickly spread to the city
and to the vessels in port. Intense ex-
element ensued on land and water,
among the citizens Of the place as well
as its defenders. Every man who had a
post of duty was instantly at it; and in
less than half an hour the British man
of-war Scarabmus, which had been lying
at anchor short distance outside the
harbor, came steaming out to meet the
enemy. There were other naval vessels
in port, but they required more time to
be put in readiness for action.
As soon as the approach of Scarabseus
was perceived by Repeller No. /, boat
bearing white flag was lowered from
that vessel and was rapidly rowed to-
ward the British ship. When the latter
saw tho boat coming she lay to, and
waited its arrival. A note was delivered
to the captain of the Scarabseus, in which
it YVES stated that tho syndicate, which
had undertaken on the part Of the United
States the conduct of the war between
that country and Great Britain, was now
prepared to demand the surrender of
this city, with its forts and defenses, and
all vessels within its harbor; and, as a
first step, the immediate surrender Of
this note was delivered.
