How did begin my work in sub
marine navigation? Well, the story IL
not long one. OF course you will
expect me to tell you that Jules
Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues
Under the Sea- was my inspiration. and
you sha'n't be disappointed. From my
boyhood days that scientific romance
gripped me irresistibly. and ] was not

authority erred can be gathered from
the performance Of a sister boat which
We built for the Russian navy.
After that little vessel became mar,
OF the Cars feet she made a run from
Kronstadt to Libau In October OF lsM
The official report Of the commando,
Of the vessel best tells the story:

The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-06-28

and make that run at an average speed
OF nearly thirty knots.
In some particulars IL is even more
accurate than the gun. II travels far
enough below the surface TO be unaf-
fected by the state Of the sea With
its warhead charge or several hundred
pounds OF high explosive, attacking a
ship where she Is least prepared for
assault. the detonat!on of that sub
stance will cause far graver wound
than 1t is possible 10 produce with a
number of the biggest projectiles.
Yes. | think Sir Percy Scott is right,
and his admission means so much more
because It comes from an expert who
has heretofore favored the gun and the
dreadnought.
What do | think OF the submarines
of the future? How big do I think
they will be? We'll, l have done some
prophesying in the past and have been
frankly pooh-poohed by the unbe-
levers so you will understand my pres
ent reluctance to predict Just how large
submarines will eventually be built.
There are mechanical problems that
must be overcome first. Tn. develop
ment OF the submarine has not been as
rapid as l anticipated. and this has
been due 10 the difficulty OF securing
satisfactory engines.
The gasolene engine has been some
what dlscrcd!ted as a motor for under
water boats because OF the explosive
character OF its fuel. We have had a
number OF dstre sslng accidents due to
the unexpected ignition OF the fumes
OF gasolene. Yes, the heavy oil en-
CINE promises to meet the needs. but
there has been a good deal OF difficulty
in securing a reliable heavy oil. re-
versible, internal combustion engine.
Thanks to the genius OF DR.. Rudolf
Diesel. the way 10 success has been
blazed and as the heavy oil engine
evolves the size and the speed OF sub
marines will increase proportionately.
AS a matter OF fact We have al
ready in mind submarines of $500 tons,
with the speed OF a battleship. ana It
may be possible to build them Of

investigation was in an overturned
rowboat, under which I craw.ed to Sc,
how long | could survive In the al;
confined close up TO the inner bottom
of that craft. l stayed there so long
thai a passing fisherman thought ms
drowned and righted the boat, expect
Ing to tow II ashore and TO report my
loss. That test gave me an inkling
as to the breathable quality OF a small
volume Of confined air.
In 1898, as you may possibly recall,
the Navy Department asked for bids
for a submarine boat. I submitted the
design OF one intended to travel on the
surface, In between the bottom and
the surface or on the waterbed-a sort
Of under water automobile. so TO speak
had no financial hacker. and the Gov
eminent exacted that the successful
bidder should put up bond as a guar
antee OF contract fulflment. Needless
TO remark, 7 did not get any recogni-
ton OF a substantial sort, but I did
obtain favorable comment from some
of the official critics. That, at least,
gave me announcement.
Shortly afterward I moved to At
lantic Highlands, and there. thanks to
the financial assistance OF an aunt I
built the submarine which | jokingly
named Argonaut, Jr. That was in 1894.
The Argonaut, Jr. was ccfiinlike box
built of yellow pine timber in two
layers, coated with coal tar and lined
with felt 10 make 1t water eight. II
was II feet long. an feet wide and had
a depth of feet II was mounted upon
wooden wheels.
The vessel was intended 10 navigate
only on the bottom and was driven by
hand power; crank shaft. ending out
side with sprocket wheels, was geared
by chain belt 20 the two rear drivers.
Inside. the bow part of the boat was
partitioned off by an air tight bulkhead
which made the foremost compartment
q veritable diving bell with a water
tight door in the floor that could be
opened.
For air storage the boat carried a
soda water tank and a plumbers hand

The Protector speeding along through a heavy sea

for demonstrations looking to the in
teresting OF very much needed capital.
Now regular diving suits are an ex-
penslvt matter and my funds were so
extremely low that l had run around
well n!gh barefooted during the winter
in order that every penny available
could be used in connection with my
embryo submarine.
When mllder weather came / had
ready a diving dress OF my own devils
ing. For a helmet l util!Z I frame
work of light iron rods covered with
painted canvas and made to NJ snugly
over my shoulders and TO strap under
my arms. For a face plate l used the
glass headlight from the air port OF an
abandoned sloop. and to help me ia
submerge ] tied sash weights to my
legs. Common garden hose wound with
wire served to carry my air supply
from the surface.
In this fashion I reached the Ar
gonsut, Jr, closed her up and put in
pipes to pump her out. In my anxiety
TO succeed I toiled under water for
several hours, and in consequence
spent the better part of week in bed
afterward. In that brief time | lost
forty pounds in weight, but ] didn't
mind that because the boat was afioat
again.
The Argonaut, Jr.. was not designed
to submerge deeper than twenty feet.
and my main object in building her was
to show how a craft of that nature
could be made 10 travel around on the
bottom and, by means OF the diving
compartment, make II possible 90 re-
cover things lying upon the waterbed.
To make long story short, my per-
formances were so successful that I
obtained money and We organized a
company in November OF 1895. But
we did not have funds enough to build
the big boat ! had planned, and ac-
cord!ngly We had to curtail our am
billion and confine our efforts to a
smaller craft for the purpose OF dem
onstration and as an inducement to ad-
d!tlonal capital. Fortunately won the
confidence of the late William T. NAL

q o eminent nn authority as Admiral
Sir Percy Scot; Of the British
~ navy declared the Other day that
the doom of the dreadnought had
been sounded by the development Of
submarines He asserted unsuuvoealy
that even the superb eadnought was
archaic and that experiments had
proved conclusively that no fighting

asked.
The pronouncement is the more i'm
pressive because Admiral Scott has
probably done more than any other
living naval man To make the battlesh.p

day. BY syst, M Of director fring' he

There Is in this country an authority
Of q kindred way Of thinking. Simon
Lake, who has done a great deal to-
ward making the submarine what IL Is.
In substance Simon Lake anticipated
Admiral Sir Percy Scott by many years
in predicting the passing OF the heavy
ships of the battle line. He was asked
the other day for his opinion OF the
British Admirals sweeping views.
II still believe. as ] always have. that

replied. land that 1t will be the means

"The partisan Of the batt,eship points

ular performances of his giant turret
guns, and he tells you OF the many
inches OF hardened steel that the points
OF his armor piercing projectiles can
perforate. Truly these doings are lit
tie short Of marvellous But the advo-
cate Of the gun is q prejudiced expert
wlthal, for he will not believe the Tor
pedo TO be a formidable rival. Why?
Simply because generally he takes lit

But the torpedo is coming into It's
own. It Is an instrument OF precision
and stupendous destructive might.
