razor with which the CHASTITY deed had
been committed The fact that the razor
lay nearest Mrs. Hardue, led to the con-
lecture that she was the last to use the

in Mrs. Hardue's hand and signed by
her, in which it was stated she and her
husband had no friends, and us he had

THE AMMEN RAM.

The Cast1no
will illustrate the points of difference in
the two styles of design. Of course it
must be borne in mind that neither the
ram nor the Castine are to be among the
heaviest fighters in our navy.
The Castine is one of the two steel gun
boats Of 1000 tons displacement author
lied by the act of Congress OF March 2,
1889, the contracts to build which were
awarded to the Bath Iron Works on
April II, 1890, at price for hull and ma
chinery of 1918, 500 each. The keel of the
"No. 5,' or the Machias, as she is now
called, was laid on February 4, 1891, and
the laying of the keel of the Castine was
begun on the following day. The long
interval between the award of the con-
tract and the laying of the keels of these
vessels was not due to any fault OF
the Bath Iron Works, but was
caused by delay in getting the
steel plates and angles. The work has
been pushed as rapidly as possible, but if
the steel works had been as well equipped
when the contract was awarded as they
are now the two vessels would long ago
have been put into commission for ser
vice. In order to build these two vessels
the Bath Iron Works had to add largely
to it's plant. It was year after that time
that the contract was awarded to the
same company to build the steel harbor-
defence ram designed by Rear Admiral
Daniel Ammen, and which is now ready
for launching.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1892-08-05

THE. CRUISER CAsTINE.
The Castine, like her sister-ship, is
wholly constructed OF steel of domestic
manufacture, and her machinery, boilers
and fittings are of home production. In
other words, the vessel is American
throughout; she is built from designs "a
the officers of the American Navy. After
passing through thegfrst process OF man
ufacture in American smelling furnaces,
the material was next taken to an Ameri-
can forge and there fashioned into plates
and bars and angles by American mechan-
les, and they were next transported to the
oldest American shipbuilding works,
whose president Is a veteran soldier of the
Union Army, and there formed into the
perfect ship by American workmen, that
she may defend the American flag and
protect American homes. Her dimen-
sions are as follows: Length on load
waterline, 100 feet; extreme breadth,
80 feet; depth from main deck to keelson,
II feet; displacement, $50 tons. She has
two masts, and she will have the rig Of a
schooner. The engines are of the vertical
inverted cylinder, direct acting, triple
expansion type, the collective horse
power Of which-with the engines max
ing 200 revolutions minute-will be
1850. The engines are rights and lefts,
and placed in a common water-tight
compartment. The original design was
for two straight tubular boilers,
but the contractors submitted an
alternative design for boilers of the
locomotive type, which was approved,
and these have been placed in common
water-tight compartments. There will
be one smokepipe only. The forced
draft system will consist of two blowers,
which will discharge into the fire-room,
and provision has been made whereby the
supply OF air may be regulated for each
furnace. The vessel is also provided with
steam reversing gear, steam ash hoist, a
turning engine, auxiliary pump, engine
for driving workshop machinery, dis.
tilling apparatus and other auxiliary or
supplementary machinery, tools, etc.
1t is guaranteed by the contractors that
the speed ofthe vessel shall average at least
thirteen knots, and that this speed shall
be maintained successfully for four hours
consecutively. Should the vessel exceed
this rate of speed the contractors will re-
ceive premium of 6, 600 for each quarter
of a knot in excess of the speed so re-
quired; but should she fail to reach the
speed guaranteed then penalty of 5000
for each quarter of knot she is deficient
will be deducted. Should the vessel fall
below twelve knots in speed at the trial
then the government will reject her. Her
armament, which is in course of compile
tion at the Washington gun foundry, will
consist of eight 4-inch, breech- loading
rapid firing guns, four 6-pounders and
two 1-pGunder rapid firing guns, and two
Calling guns.

and crew. The wardroom is on the after
berth deck, just abaft the engine room
bulkhead, into which open several
staterooms and pantry; abaft the
officers quarters is a berthing space for
portion of the crew, the forward deck
berth being designed entirely for the
crew. There will be complete install
lation of electric lights sufficient for
lighting all parts of the vessel, and ar
ranged in duplicate so as to guard
against accidents. The drainage is so ar
ranged that any compartment can be
pumped out by the steam pumps. The
foul air is eXhaused from all parts of the
vessel by means of blowers in engine
and fire rooms, fresh air being supplied
from the main ventilator through air
ducts led along the under sides of the
deck,
The launch of the vessel will undoubt-
edly attract much attention in foreign
naval circles as well as in our own. 1t
will be the first of its class in our new
fleet, and its appearance on the water is
likely to revive a general discussion as
to value of ramming as method of
carrying on navael warfare. In the YES
sci built at Bath it is believed that a good
compromise has been made between
speed and armor protection. 1t is neces-
sary that the ram should be fast enough
to prevent her enemy from escaping, and
yet she must carry enough armor to pro-
tect her from being destroyed during her
approach. The very fact that she will
be compelled to rely wholly upon her
ram for effective service will induce her
to make that desperate rush at full
speed, reckless of her own fate, which,
will give her the greatest chance of
success in attack.
Turning from the Ammen ram to the
Machias and Castine, which are built
alike, we find a great contrast. A gen
eral description of
