Rowboat Without Oars.

been chiefly directed to the elimination
Of the greatest drawback to the use OF
the oar, and that is the fact that the
oarsman must necessarily have his
back turned in the direction of the
boats course, which is an inconveni
ence of no small proportions, and the
man who shall invent some means Of
successfully overcoming this feature
will be amply rewarded.
The latest improvement on these
lines has recently appeared on the
waters around Young Island, S. c., the
work of an inventor in that vicinity.
This innovation has the advantage
that the operator faces the bow Of the
boat, and also the additional recon-
mendation that the craft is constantly
under propulsion. whereas with the
use of the oars the blades are in the
water only about half of the time. The
accompanying sketches show the cor.
struction OF the apparatus. There are
two handles in a position within the
convenient grasp Of the operator, and
which are reyolved by him. These are
counterbalanced with weights to make
the work as easy as possible for him.
These handles operate an arrange.
ment of cranks, within which are piv.
oted a pair Of rods on either side. The
far ends Of these rods carry thrust
blades, and the arrangement is such
that one pair Of blades is exerting q
forward pressure on the water, while
the other pair of blades is being re.
turned above the surface of the stream
to the dipping point, where this pair
of blades takes up the work Of pro.
pulsion and the second pair emerges
from the water and make their return
Thus it will be seen that alternately
these blades are constantly at work
