TO BIND OVER HOLLAND
.'It seems to me, therefore, qatte a
necessity that this Government should
not allow this skill and knowledge TO
pass out of its own hands from Native
to Foreign Lands, but should forestall
such a catastrophe by at once per--.
chasing the Holland and putting the Hoi-
land peop.e under some ban whereby they
will be prevented from disclosing secrets
to the disadvantage OF the. United States
How keenly Foreign Governments are
alive to the Holland, have shown IN
my facts herein reported, concerning
the presence OF foreign officers upon
her.
concerning future improvements to
be made in the Holland and her success
ors, confine myself to one example to
show how much this point is matter
Of opinion and not yet OF knowledge.
II desire to add my own opinion as to
what the future policy of the Navy
Department should be, after inaugural
ing Submarine Service.
HOLLANDS THEORIES RIGHT.
The boat wisch bears the name of the
inventor has proved a SUCCESS. ne iSub-
marine boat Plunger, which is now being
overlsauled at the Trigg yards, has not
fulfilled expectations and has never lived
up to her name. She was to be con-
Structed after the same pldIIS dts LIE
Holland, but changes were made by the
Navy Department. Steam engines were
put in ard this proved to be the cause OF
all the trouble Her motive power was
to consist of three triple expansion en-
gines, two showing 600 indicated horse
power, and one 800 horse power. The
power was to be derived from high pres
sure water tube boilers. Mr.. Holland OBJ
jected to these notifications. declaring
them impracticable, and that steam could
not be. installed as power. The De-
rartment. however, refused to accept Mr.
Hollands plans and the Plunger is now
being recons tructed after the inventors
original plans. His objections proved to
be we'll founded, for it was found, IN
actual test. that when steam had been
gotten up and the boat closed preparatory
to diving. THE heat was so intense that
no human being would live on board. ana
in no way could the Plunger. as she
stands now, have fulfilled any of the de-
n,ards made on her as regards TO diving
and recovery.
