drawn from tle best blood of Greece; but as
civilization advanced and the ancient galley
gave q place To the bTeme or triremc the
heroic oarsman became displaced, until event
uaily the position was filed by slaves and
maleiactors.
The custom alluded to Of dragging the vessels
on shore caused the carly naval architects to
build them Us light as possible so that, when
the problem OF how 10 increase the ships
power was grappled with, it carried with it
the necessity of leaving the length the same
as before. Some genius in Tyre or SdoD
solved this problem 10y iuventing tho bireme
or galley, with two banks of oars. which type
was quickly developed by tho Grecinn ship
wrights into the trireme or three banked gal
ley, which became to Attic war vessels par
excellence.
There has been much discussion regarding
the manner in which the oarsmen of the an.
cient trircme seated, and rs to whether
each man worked one oar. IL seems probable
that the method was rs follows: Each oar was
pulled by one man, and the rOwers sat III three
ranks upon benches that resemblcd series
of stcps The three banks of oars fell in the
same vertical plane, and differed in length ac-
| cording to their bank. The oarsmen sitting
highest from the water rowed with the long
est oars, and were named thranites the
Zygitcs sat in the middle bank, and the low
were termed thamites The whole rowing
strength of a-triremc is given rs l74 men,
who were so deusely packed together when
on duty that they had to take their places ac-

Aiter having evolved the dug-out from the
simple raft, the primitive naval architect when
called upon to fashion war craft directed his
attention chiefly to size and ornameutstion,
covering the canoo with grotesque and horrible
carvings intended to strike terror into the
heart OF the enemy.
1t is to the people inhabitng the shores of
the Mediterranean Sea that the credit must be
given of improving upon the primitive ypc of

made between the vessels of the home fleet and
