Swiss Naval Wars.

References to the Swiss navy are
usually %iocular, but it is one the less
a fact that ships of war once tloated
and even fought on the waters Of the
lake of Geneva. The great feet was
that of the Duke of Savoy, who at the
beginning of the fourteenth century
maintained a number Of war galleys
armed With rams and protected by
turrets and propelled by a crew Of
oarsmen varying in number from for
ty to seventy-two. These vessels be-
sieged Versoix and ever blockaded
Geneva. But Geneva also had a fleet
which helped in the capture Of Chilon
in 1886, and when the Bernese an
nexed the canton Of Vaud they, too,
had their fiotilla. Their largest vessel
was the Great Bear, with GA oarsmen,
8 guns and $50 fighting men.-West-
