It great day for the wise when Fulton
brought out his idea for steamboat With &C
cord they jumped him and it and had whole oceans
of fun.

attention of sensible people, this is of the
craziest.'
Another found the scheme impracticable for the
that machinery could be made that could
compare to the force Of the wind fsGod himself has
supplied for the the motive power that he de-
signed to use, and for rivers he hath given
rents, against>which the power of prevail

contrivanees, to oppose those mighty forces ordered
by the Creator and from the foundation of the
world.o
Everybody prophesied failure when Fulton
launched his first boat, and the little party of
friends whom he invited go the trial trip looked
foolish when they heard the remarks of the crowd

sh gances and wished themselves out of such silly
piece of business. Even after steam navigation had
proved success the rivers, the critics knew it
could never be made to for the sea- for nc
ship could possibly carry enough wood or coal for
voyage across the Atlantic. :

not. Before you raise the asinine heehaw, why not
