In contact with great surface 0f wa
ter, the forward movement of the boat
Is smooth.
The inner boat. being carried by
the outer boat. does not come in con-
tact with the water. and can offer no
resistance to its speed or momentum.
The inner boat is similar In con-
struction and size to the outer. and
constitutes the living apartments and

sary appliances according to the usage
of the boat.
AT suitable distance from each
end of the inner boat two turrets are
constructed that rise at right angles to
the inner boat to distance of foot
above the greatest diameter of the re-
voluble hull. So that when running
awash only Il very small portion of
the boat is exposed to view. and no
vital parts.
The rear turrets constitute a
pilot house and also afford an open
ing for ingress and egress to the inner
boat. the pilot house being telescoped

tight fastenings when beat is sub
merged.
The lower ends of the turrets are
made fiat and thin, and extend down
ward to a point sufficient to hold IA
solid iron keel which allows the re-
voluble hull to turn between it and
the inner boat This keel steadies the
boat latterly and adds stability to the
inner boat, being rigidly connected at
both ends.
''If in the rapid rotation of the outer
shell the inner boat may have any in
cliDation to deviate from level, by
working the hydroplanes of the one
side adverse to those of the other,
their action on the water will easily
and effectively arrest such deviattons.
From both ends of the inner boat
there is concal PROV extending and

mended for war purposes, Its greatest
service to mankind will ba as life
preserver
"All pats and appliances of this
hoat are made and put together from

paired at sea as well as In dry dock.

Historical interest also attaches to
the region as It is believed that the

Fremont was overtaken by disaster in

TO turn back.
This expedition which proved so I'M

Fremont made across the continent.

pense after he had resigned from the
army in lS4S. His object was the
finding of a practicable passage TO
California by way OF the upper waters

100 mules he made his way through
the country of the Utes, Apaches. Co

Fatal Accident
Near Hicks Run

On Sunday evening as Walter Barr
of Hicks Run was returning from
Mason Hill accompanied by his wife
and two small children, a part of the
harness gave way, crowding the horse
and causing it to run away, on the
steep hill road. Mr.. Barr and little
son, William, bright lad of three
years, were first thrown out. Some
distance further down Mrs. Barr and
little daughter were thrown out and
the buggy upset. The father escaped
with some painful bruises, Mrs. Barr
with a sprained wrist and the little girl
unframed. Friends soon came to
their aid all were hurried to DR.. Muir
rips office, where all were made as
comfortable as possible. The little
boy died from his injuries early Tues
day morning.
