Only the Englishman improved on
shipbuilding, and from him all modS
erp models have dated.
In the old frye models the waist of
the ship was low, so the oars could
get good play on the surface OF the
ocean, and the sterns were lofty, so as
to give room for slowing cargoes and
to provide dry quarters for the upper
mariners.
AS wind power came into use the
waist grew higher and the poop deck
disappeared. Step by step from galley
to caravel, from caravel to frigate. the
British shIpwrights improved on the
ships Of Tyre.
But In the far east the models have
remained much the same, and the ship
makers Of Persia and India have stuck
to the old Tyrian models to the pres,

standing near a smoldering fire with
one Of his hands resting on an am
bulance wheel. He was debating some
order to Colonel Marshall, who sat In
the ambulance with lap desk receiv-
Ing his dictation. As General Lee
spoke he gazed into the bed Of Goals
as II weighing every word. There was
no staff or escort about, 80 far as ]
could see. Touching Sailors Creek. he
spoke bitterly and said In answer to
Mr.. Davis desire to know his proposed
line of retreat that 1t was beyond his
control; that he had intended to re-
treat by the line of the Danville road.
but had been forced Off that route by
the arrival of Sheridan ahead Of him
at Burkville; that he was then follow
ing the line Of the SOuthside road to
Lynchburg. but the enemy was out
marching him and might force him OF;
that his movements were dependent
on the developments Of each hour. and
then he added: How can ! tell? A
few more Sailors Creeks and 1t will all
be over-just where I thought 1t would
end from the beginning" When first

his Judgment may have been warped
away now and then by the feeling he
expressed when, after Second Manas-
sas, Sharpsburg. Fredericksburg and
Charlottesville he said. mo general

mathematical in its workings. and all
its calculations were too habitually

amount of material to make him forget
