ductory lecture 10 a course in naval architecture
which Is being established in that institution
Speaking OF the submerged boat he felt sure that

been ordered by the Government. and. though In
adequate In number for the protection OF the
long coast line. they would. however, promptly
and efficiently deal with any attacking feet. Other
rations were also equipping their navtes with this
naval arm.
Besides its utility in defence and attack. Mr..
Holland affirmed that the submarine boat eurt-
nently fitted for passenger traffic For transOceanc
s-avel however. IL would be a commercial failure.
but for short passages IL would be invaluable. The
nasty seas that run between Dover and Calais or
between Holyhead and Dublin would longer be

steadily on its way unaffected by the storms and
