A Self-Destructiye Warsl,ip.

The roof or deck is of sufficient thick
ness, in combination with its curved
shape, to prevent damage from shells.
In action the vessel is nrst taken to con-
venient point, submerged from the or
binary water line, then steamed at full

would jump overheard, and, being pro-
vided with life prcscrvcrs, could be picked
up by the launch. The inventor claims
that a very heavy Charge of explosives
could be carried in this way, and that

stroy the largest iron clad afoat. The
risk is great, but he believes it would be
possible for all the crew to escape
