another example of a career so disas-
trous and tragic as that of the David.
Four crews went down with ii in trial
trips and it lost its fifth when it was

they built in Mobile in 1853 the famous
and Inflated David. This name was
given to il because il was expected to
destroy the Goliaths of the Union
feet. The original David, from which
its successor differed only in minor de-
tails, was cigar-shaped. and resembled
in general design the Holland subma-
rines of the twentieth century. 1t had
a coming tower which. when the boat
fioated, was about all that appeared.
The boat was about thirty-fye feet
long and built of sheet iron. Its prin-
cipal differences from the modern SUBJ
marine, those which made ii imperfect
and manageable only under the most
favorable circumstances, were these
The Holland is always buoyant; ii is

not by filling II to a weight a little
more than that of the displaced water.

lines of picket craft around the inner
squadron and made for the Housa-
tonic, the Goliath of the outer line of
the blockade. She was sighted at S:45
by the officer of the deck on the Hou-
satonic and hailed. She was running
on the top Of the water and burning
no lights, and when discovered was
but two hundred yards away. She did
not reply, but came on. A call to
quarters was sounded, 1t was too
late; the 1 avid was inside the range
of the Housatonic's guns. The men
opened fire with pistols and rifles, but
on came the curious little cylinder I'M
affected. She dove and passed nearly
under the vessels stern, drawing her
torpedo after her. 1t struck the Big
ship almost amidships, simultaneously
came the explosion. The Housatonic
reeled and in a few moments lunged
forward and sank bow first. Most of
the officers and crew saved themselves
by climbing into the rigging, from
which they were taken by the small
boats of the other vessels. The Da-
Vid had dived her last. She never came
to the surface After the war, when
the wrecks off Charleston were being
removed, The David was discovered at
the bottom, not one hundred feet away
from her victim. All of her men were
at their stations.
No other submarines were attempt
ed by the Confederacy. The original
David, just destroyed, was therefore
unique, the only existing specimen of
a type which has developed into such
wonder working craft as the modern
submarines. All the maritime world is
reckoning with them now. France is

went over her, pouring down her open
hatch and quickly carrying her to the
bottom, with her crew. Lieut.. Payne,
who was in the coming tower, crawled
out and swan until a boat from the
steamer which had caused the disaster
rescued him. Again she was raised and
again Lieut.. Payne took command.
With his crew of ten men he made
ready one evening to set out from
Fort Sumter upon an offensive expe-
dition against the Union fleet, when
for some unknown reason the David
turned turtle" taking to the bottom
this time eight of her ten men, two of
the seanen escaping with the comman-
der. That was enough fer Lieut.. Payne
he gave up submarine naval maneuv-
ers.
In spite of this disastrous succession
of accidents, one man maintained his
faith in the David. That man was one
of the designers, Mr.. Aunley. He
had the vessel raised, collected a crew,
not without difficulty, and taking his
craft up the Stone river. made several
trials which seemed to justify his con-
fidence. Then there came a day when
the David went out and did not come
back Divers found her with her nose
stuck in the mud. Mr.. Aunley and his
ten men were suffcated. For some time
she lay at the bottom. of the river, but
another daring experimenter was
found who undertook to navigate her

might have made good his promises
had he not attempted to show that he
could take her under a schooner and
up on the other side, in which expert
ment she fouled the cable and suffoea-
ted another crew.
1t speaks volumes for the daring of
Southern naval men that any could
be found to venture upon the forlorn
hope after this. Capt. ]. Il. Carlson
and Lieut.. George E. Dixon persuaded
the authorities to raise the water COT

nicknamed. and to let them take Ii out
with the purpose of torpedoing the
Housatonic of the Union feet. Only
five men could be found who were will
