The trials of the Holland submarine

and coming to the surface for rapid
observations. were given for the board
of naval officers appointed to pass on

pedo Boat company to change the mo-
tor power Of the plunger when on the

On her first trial the boat was sub
merged and run for one mile, coming to
the surface for rapid observation and
again disappearing. At the begin
ming of the second trial Naval Con-
structor Varney and Lieut.. Ridgrave
went on board and examined the ves-
sci when submerged. The time taken
for the boat to dive and come to the
surface in the first trial was about seven
seconds, while on the second trial the
time was nine seconds.
