An OCEAN Ferry Relic.

y recently received Irish newspaper
states that the engines of the steamer
Sirius, the first to cross the Atlantic,
are reported to have been raised from
the bed of the ocean, in Ballycotton
Bay, off the coast of Cork, where they
had lain since the wreck of the historic
little vessel, over GO years ago. If such
be the fact, these first of ocean cross
ing marine engines should be preserved
and accorded frst-class place in the
national museum. 1t will be remem-
bered that DR.. Dionysius Lardner Qhim-
self an 1rishman and then regarded as
the foremost mathematician of his
tine) had declared that no vessel could
ever cross the Atlantic by steam power
alone, as she would not have sufficient
storage capacity to carry the bulk Of
coal and fresh water that would be
needed to complete the voyage. Leu
tenant Roberts, another Irishman,
demonstrated the fallacy of this posi-
ton, and the voyage Of the Sirius from
Queenstown to New York, in 1858, las
been compared, not inaptly, to that Of
Columbus from Palos. The little vessel
in which he started, which was no big
ger than Il modern tngboat, met strong
head winds off the Irish coast, and the
crew mutinied at what they considered
a madcap attempt to cross the Atlantic.
Lieutenant Roberts, however, enforced
discipline ut the point of the pistol, and
the hazardous voyage was completed
in 1917 days. The daring navigator,
like so many of his predecessors and
successors lost his life in subsequent
marine adventure. He left New York,
in command of the steamship Presi-
dent, in 1871, but from that day to this
no trace has ever been found Of the
Inflated vessel, which must have gone
down with all on board. In her also
persisted Tyrone Power, the great Irish
actor, and father of the present day
favorite of the same name. who was
returning home after second p;ofes-
sional tour in this country. When the
proportions of those first ocean "wbcr-
ries" are compared with those Of tue
steam leviathans Of the present time,
an idea can be arrived at as to the
strides made in ocean navigation III
considerably less than three-quarters
of a century.

the failure Of the chairman to call the
