SUBMARINE BOAT DEFECTS.
Work ON the French Div

ing Craft Narval.
PARIS. Dec. 19.-The optimistic accounts
which were printed recently regarding the
trial of the submarine torpedo boat Narval
are discounted by the fact that an order
has been issued to cease work ON two sis
ter boats until the defects in the Narval
have been remedied.
The chief difficulty seems to be in chang
ing the motor power from steam, when the
vessel is travelling on the surface, to elec-
tricity. which is used while she is under
water.
During the trial it was shown that this
change was made slowly and was unsafe.
