FIRST STEAM WARSHI2.
Canada C!a'ms TO Have Built 1t as

1t Is generally known that the first
steam-driven vessel to cross the Atlantic
was built in Canada, says the Toronto
News. The Information Is not so general,
however. that this same craft was sub
seQuenty converted into cruiser and
was the first steamship engaged In ac-

The facts in the case are stated in
"Johnson's Alphabet OF First Things In
Canada" The ship was the Royal VIII
lam. She was built at the Cove Quebec,
