The armament of each vessel consisted
of but one gun, of large caliber, placed
on the forward deck, and protected by a
bomb proof covering. Each vessel was
manned by captain and crew from the
merchant service, from whom no war
like duties were expected. The fighting
operations were in charge of q small
body of men, composed Of two or three
scientific specialists and some practical
gunners and their assistants. A few
bomb proof canopies and a curved steel
deck completed the defenses of the vessel
Besides equipping this little navy, the
syndicate set about the construction Of
certain sea going vessels Of an cxtraor-
binary kind. So great were the facili-
ties at it's command, and SO thorough
and complete its methods, that ten or q
dozen shipyards and foundries were set
to work simultaneous - build one of.
these ships. In q m8rvelously short
time the syndicate poasgssed several Of
them ready for action.

known as ''crabs." They were not
large, and the only part of them which
projected above the water, was the mid
die of an elliptical deck, slightly con-
vex, 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 &C.
complished. The syndicate intended to
contine 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 a single gun of long range, and
the ammunition was confined entirely TO
q new style of projectile, which had
never yet been used in warfare. The
and construction of this pro
jectile were known only to three mem

cate had secured possession VI imp n'
warlike inventions but what they were
and how they acted was secre' care
fully guarded and protected. ~
The first step of the syndicate was tc
purchase from the United States govern
ment ten war vessels. These were OF
medium size and in good condition. but
they were of an old fashioned type and
it had not been considered expedieht to
nut them in commission. This action
caused surprise and disappointment in
many quarters. 1t had been supposed
that the syndicate, through its agents,
scattered all over the world, would i'm
mediately acquire, by purchase or lease,
q fleet of fine ironclads culled from vari-
GUS maritime powers. But the syndicate
having no intention Of involving, Or at
tempting to involve, other countries in
this quarrel, paid no attention 10 public
opinion, and went to work IN Its own
way.
Its vessels, eight of which were on the
Atlantic coast and two on the Pacific,
were RAPIDLY prepared for the peculiar
service in which they were to be en-
gagged. The resources of the syndicate
were great, and in very short time
several of their vessels, already heavily
plated with steel, were furnished with
an additional outside armor, formed of
strips of elastic steel, each reaching from
the gunwales nearly to the surface of
the water. These strips, about foot
wide, and placed an inch or two apart,
were each backed by several powerful
air buffers, so that ball striking one or
moro of them would DO deprived of
much of its momentum, The expert
ments upon the steel spring and buffers
adopted by the syndicate showed that
the force of the heaviest cannonading
was almost deadened By the powerful
elasticity of this ar.lnOr.
