SUCCESSFUL SURFACE TEST OF The
HOLLAND BOAT.
The Submarine Craft Made Excellent
Speed on Staten Island Sound
Under Light Pressure.

Under Light Pressure.
NEW YORK, July ll.-There was
another surface trial of the Holland
submarine torpedo boat at Elizabeth
port. n. j., yesterday. 1t demonstra-
ted beyond question that this strange
steel monster of the sea, even if it
should prove a failure when submerg-
ed, will otherwise be valuable ac-
QUESTION TO the naval forces of the
nation. But it is believed that its sub
marine operations will even be mo e
satisfactory than its showing on the
surface. When under moderate speed
there Is only about six inches of the
craft, apart from the turret, above the
water.
This fact, was proven by the test
yesterday, when the boat was running
on the Staten Island ound at the rate
of seven knots an hour. with double
that pressure it is thought that the en-
tire deck, even TO the turret Will dis
appear. 1t Is intended that the maxi
mum speed shall be about knots an
hour, Another important fact was
that at distance of half mile ii was
