n MALL vessels for our navy more
ltNS than keep pace with those of the
NYlarger types, and in this there has
~ tbeen some ground for criticism by
49, those who really do not understand
the need Of the service and the value Of that
class Of ships. The gunboat is far from being
useless appendage to a navy, was most
thoroughly exempliied during that trouble
some period between the years 81 and IS,
when the government found itself in sad need
OF feet OF just such ships many and many a
time. For river warfare they are absolutely
indispensable, as their light draught and small
displacement enable them TO go into waters
that would be quite too shallow for cruisers and
battle ships. The gunbost an adjunct to
an army is most effective weapon, and mas
much as the vast majority, if, indeed, not all,
OF the battles Of importance seem to be fought
away from a seaboard. it is essential that the
feet upon which an army depends for support
and aid should be composed of as light class
OF ships as possible.
THE LARGE SHIPS,
in case of river fighting. are helpless except in
deep, broad channels that well known to
the pilots. SO that the vessels can move in their
uninterrupted procession to the point of at
tack Such thing as maneuvering in a river,

except il be in such a stream as the Mississippi,
Is almost ont of the question, and a ship has to
fight her way through or be sunk by the enemy.
In all of the accounts Of the water battles of
the civil war; barring those that were fought at
sea. such as the contest between the kearsarge
and the Alabama 1t will be found that the ships
that did the turning and rapid fighting we're
the gunboats, which. IN those days of poor
navy, had to be improvised out of steamers
that were built for nothing more harmful than
the carrying Of passengers.
HOW TO BUILD Up NAVY.
Thus il is that it is wise to build up the navy
in a systematic manner attending to all parts
and needs of the service at the same time for il
is one of the features of warfare that one can
never sniff powder long enough ahead to build
navy or buy sufficient number of merchant
men to transform into vessels until some
damage has been done that would have been
saved had the force been ready to make the
fight. The very idea of building n navy. this
being the expensive occupation of Uncle Sam
just at present, includes necessity TO build all
sorts of ships that nation would possibly
need in time of war. OF course no one looks
forward to another such conflict that which
stained our soil a quarter Of century ago in
which that element which might be called the
gunboat style OF fighting was most predomi-
nant, but in any case it will always be found
convenient, If not actually needful. to have a
substantial fleet of small vessels to run up into
shallow rivers to aid whatever land forces
may be there fighting or to commit warlike
depredations on their own account
GUSBoATs BUILT AND BUILDING
OF the new vessels of the navy there are but
two completed ships of this type, the Petrol
and the Yorktown, both Of which are borne on
the naval list as gunbQats. They are now

drive the vessels through the water at the rate
of IA knots. The main battery consists of eight
four-inch rapid-fire guns. also called thirty
three-pounde-s. one mounted on the poop, one
on the foreca,tle, two under the forecastle, one
on each side in Sponsors, two amidships. one
on each side mounted in the same way and two
more under the poop. The secondary
battery consists of two 47-mm. revolving
cannon. two 31-mm. revolving cannon. one
one-pounder rapid-ire gun and one gatiing
These vessels will carry $50 tons Of coal, which,
at IA knots. will carry them 2, 452 knots, or
466S knots at the rate of 10 knots an hour The
rigs are those of two-masred schooner, with a
fore yard and a square topsaii, spreading 6,506
square feet Of canvas.

Petrol is the only one Of the new ships that has
but one screw, and it is probable that If she
were to be built over again she would be fitted
with two. Her horizontal compound engines
develop a total of 1850 horse power. She Is
armed with four six-inch breech-loadlng rifles,

coming a favorite gun with many officers, who
even prefer it to the eigbt-inch guns for general
purposes as being the most destructive at
short range as well as being far more economi-
cal. A gun Of this sort will last very much
longer than the eight or ten-inch rifle. which
deteriorate appreciably after certain percent
age of rounds. The smaller the gun the longer
its life seems to be maxim. The secondary
battery of the Petrol will consist OF three
two-pounders and one one-pounder rapid
guns, two 37-mm. revolving cannon and two
gatIings This vessel will carry about 1853 tons
of coal and on this supply can travel 3, 46S
knots in thirty-two and half days at the rate
of knots an hour, or 1850 knots in five and

She was built by the Columbian Iron Works of
Baltimore, the irst ship that that firm
ever took under contract, and the result was a
most signal financial disaster. The vessel was
authorized in the act of March 3, 1885, and was
contracted for with the Baltimore firm on the
ED OF December. 1886, the price named being
e247 900. The vessel was DELAYED far beyond

1877 The governing idea in designing this
ship has been to embody in the plan complete
facilities for practical instruction in seaman
ship, ordnance, torpedoes and steam engineer
ing, while retaining good fighting efficiency for
the general service. She is to be 180 feet long
81 feet IN breadth and to draw about 1116 feet
OF water, displacing S35 tons.
SPEED AND ARMAMENT.
The ship will be rugged like a barkentine,
with an area OF sail surface Of about 5000
square feet. There are to be twin screws
driven by two vertical. inverted, triple expan-
sion engines. The normal coal supply is I4O
tons, although the capacity of the ship is 200
tons. She can steam for five days at IS knots
an hour, total distance Of 1850 knots, or for
ten days at 10 knots, a total distance Of 2. 400
knots. At the rate Of knots she will last for
twenty days, and will travel over $3.50 knots
The armament consists OF four four-inch
rapid-fring rifles mounted on central-piyot car
riages. with two-inch steel shields fitted to each
carriage to protect the guns crew az well as
the mechanism of the gun and carriage from
machine-gun fire; the secondary battery con-
slsts OF two six-pounder rapid-fre, two three
FOUNDER rapid-fre and one ne-pounder rapid
ire guns, one S7-mm. revolving cannon and
one gatiing, all having the ordinary shield
protection.
The vessel has one above-water training
torpedo launching tube and one bow torpedo
launching tube worked on berth deck. Auto
mobile torpedoes will be provided, and besides
these tubes there will be complete outfit of
boat-spar torpedo gear and charges The
vessel is to be tilted with steam windiass and
