Inland. Water Rontss.

Current talk about improving exist
ing inland waterways and constructing
new connections feyives interest in the
well known but little used route from
New York city to Hampton Reads. vir-
ginia, by canal and river and the Ches-
apeake bay Lieutenant W. g. Cnsh-
ing used this channel in 1864 to take
his torpedo launch secretly from the
Hudson tc the Roanoke. Recently q
writer in the Scientific American ex-
planned this passage as practicable for
tourists using small motor boats. 4
channel is found by following the Rari-
tan and Delaware rivers and the Della
ware and Karitan and the Delaware
and Chesapeake canals. The trip is 4
selected this course because he wished
to keep his project from the knowledge
Of friends and also avoid the risk OF
falling in with enemies on the Atlantic.
The whole coast at that time was pa
trolled ny Federal vessels as far south
as Virginia. but an occasional Confed-
crate blockade runner might bc encoun-
tered in the channel. followed by ships
plying between coast ports.
Cushin%'s adventure suggests that in
time of war our fleets might wish to
pass between New York or Boston
and Hampton Roads out Of sight of
the Atlantic. 4 wider channel is all
that is needed. There is water enough.
With ship canal across Cape Cod aud
one across New Jersey the navy would
have an advantage for concentrat ton:
also the transportation Of passengers
and troops would be made safer in
time Of war and perhaps facilitated in
stormy weather.
