FOR The REBUILDING OF OUR
OCEAN GOING SERVICE.


The News is in receipt of volume
No. s of The American Flag" a pub
Iication issued by the Merchant Ma
rine league of the United States. This
publication is devoted entirely to the
rebuilding of the merchant marine Of
the United States and contains a
wealth of Information on the subject,
showing just what forces were at
work in 1856 for the destruction of
our then magnificent ocean going SER
vice. OF course this journal is de-
voted TO the plan or governmental
subsidies for the rehabilitating and
maintenance of the merchant marine
of the country. All seaport cities
are, of course, deeply interested in
the effort now being made to force
ship subsidy measure through con-
gress in order that American ships
can successfully compete with the
ships of England, Japan, Germany and
other great maritime nations, whose
lines are operating under subsidies
from the government.
However, what we desire now to
refer to is a quotation in the work
from Hon. Thomas Butler King, in
1S49, then a member of the U. S. SEN
ate, who lived in Glynn county, hav-
ing his home at St. Simon island Sen
ator King was great believer in
the merchant marine and in this ad-
dress was advocating subsidy of
million dollars per year for two lines,
one from northern and the other
from southern ports. In the course
of an address on the subject Mr.. King
said:
Great Britain is thus enabled. By
combining commercial enterprise with
her naval armament, to keep afloat
a steam force more than equal to
onehalf of our ships in commission
and to maintain twenty of these pow
erful steamers in constant and active
service at a cost of 81 100000 annual
ly. By the Cunard and West India
lines of mail steamers Great Britain
maintains rapid and certain commun-
ication with her colonies on this side
of the Atlantic, the United States,
Mexico, and her fleets in the Pacific
ocean.
In the event of war she could
readily command this force and con-
centrate it at any point upon our At
lantic or uulf coast, and our vast
commerce, valued at some 100000, 900,
would without suitable preparation on
our part, fall prey to her arms. IT
is Notifying 10 reflect that this
force, which may become so formid-
able against us, is in a great degree
supported py tHS lulSICOuTSS STOWlHS
out of our own commercial enter
prise. While our commercial marine
is unrivaled and our sails whiten ev-
cry ocean and our steam marine at
home is superior to that of all other
nations, we have been left in the dis
tance and outmaneuvered by our
great commercial rival in the employ
ment of steam upon the ocean.
If it be asked why Great Britain
has thus taken the lead of us in ocean
steam navigation while we are so
greatly superior in domestic steamers
and sailing ships, the answer is that
she has anticipated us through the
extension OF her mail system to for
e4gn countries in combination with
her naval arrangements, thus render
ing it almost impossible for mere
private enterprise to enter into COM
petition with her,

ROBERT FULTON AND THE CHER.
 MONT,
From Alice Crar" Satellites "Fulton's Invention of the Steamboat" in
 the October Century,
Newtown, Friday, October 22. 1909.

Fiphl Ailpe SidI ouInllHes FullOnS Invention of the Steamboat" in
 the October Century.
 Fulton's own description of the Clermont is contained in q paper in possession Of one of his heirs: My first steamboat on the Hudson's river was l50 feet long, l3 feet wide. draw. ing two feet of water, bow and stern GO degrees; She displaced 36.40 cu- bic feet, equal 100 tons of water; her bow presented 26 feet to the water, plus and minus the resistance of one foot, running four miles an hour" In the Nautical Gazette for 1907, the editor, Samuel Ward Stanton, gives the following additional deteils: The bottom of the boat was formed of yell low pine plank, 1.5 inches thick, tongued and grooyed, and set togeth- CT with white lead. This bottom or platform was laid in transerse plat form and moulded out with batten and nails. The shape of the bottom being thus formed, the floors of oak and spruce were placed across the bottom; the spruce floors being 4xS inches and two feet apart. The oak floors were reserved for the ends, and were both sided and moulded eight inches. Her top timbers (which were of spruce and extended from a log that formed the bridge to the deck) were both sided 6 inches and moulded at the heel, and both sided and moulded at the head. She had no guards when first built and was steered by tiller. Her draught of water was 2S inches. Fulton did not take out patent for his steamboat until February, 1909, and his second patent was secured October 2, 1910. None of his patents is in existence. The United States patent officie has recently stated that while the Index of Patents says that on February g, 1911, patent was issued to Robert Fulton, the office is unable to furnish copy of it, as the records of this and other early patents were des troyed in the fatent Office fire of 1886. There remains, however, in possession of one of his heirs his Notes on the Patent of 1S09." The commercial success Which the Cler- MeJ g uIqlIM 'peI neu!elle luou months, to the necessity of it's en- largement and development, and this reconstruction obscured the knowl- edge of the initial plans for the first American boat, which until recently nave been considered lost.
