The hood is closed for the plunge the

sailors say that the noise of the wafer

Notwithstanding their diminutive size
they are controlled by twelve men,
each of whom is indispensable to their
navigation.
The hood once closed, the submarine
is absolutely cut off from the world. Its
shell, calculated to support a pressure
of seven or eight atmospheres, gives IL
the ability in theory TO go down to
distance Of thirty to forty meters, but
in practice il is considered sufficient to
drop to a depth of fifteen meters, and
at such q level it is in no danger of be-
ing flooded. The most strongly armor-
ed vessels of the ordinary type extend
downward only ten meters.
The vessel is directed by two vertical
governors, one above and one below
the stern, as they are always placed on
submarines. To govern the coming up
and going down of a boat there are
two horizontal governors, one at the
stern and one at the bow.-Metropoli.
