years of its construction they were
compelled to cut through tungles and
m grasses which fairly reeked with
fever. They worked in tropical will
derness with sickness and death on
every hand. Many times during the
rainy season they were compelled to
live in the swamps on insect-infested
boats. The heat was sitting, and it
was with difficulty that the laborers
could be induced to continue their
work. No army in battle endured
greater hardships than these brave
Americans who, with an indomitable
perseverance, worked against the
greatest odds and conquered. There
was no commissary at that time, no
Ice and no pleasant home with

She was a cigar shaped craft, manned
by Lieutenant Paine and eight volun-

On February II, 1864. the David

Northern vessel saw the strange look

He did not know what 1t was but
he spread the alarm and guns on
board the Housatonic were trained on
the David to no effect. The entire
craft, with the exception of her iron
coming tower. was SO far below the
surface of the water that shells could
not harm her.
A huge torpedo was fastened to
spar in the bow Of the David and as
the weird craft smashed into the
Housatonic there was a deafening
roar. A column of water reared in
the air. The Union ship reeled from
the shock. then settled like a water
sogged log and before her consorts
could send aid, she sank.
1t was thought that the David had
escaped, but when the wreck Of the
Housatonic was examined 1t was

This boat could not dive and rise
like a modern submarine. 1t crawled
along the bottom of the water and
| as the depth increased finally became
| submerged.
All the earlier submarines were
constructed of wood and it was not
until 1894 that Father Mersenne, a
monk Of the order of Minimes, sug-
gested the use of metal for the hulls.
He also declared that the only shape
for a submarine boat was that Of q
fish and that both ends should be
spindle shaped 80 that the vessel
could go In either direction.
Guns on the Monks Submarine.
The proposed manner for firing
cannon from the monks submarine is
interesting. There were to be at least
two large guns called "Colombiades''
at each side Of the boat. The muzzles
Of these were to be pushed hard
against hinged lids when ready to fire.
Almost simultaneously with the dis
charge of the cannon the lid was to
be raised and with the recoil of the
gun would fall into place again before
water could enter the boat.
In 1747 an Englishman named Sy-
mons, or Simons made a wooden boat
shaped like galley, large enough
ITO hold two or three men. 1t was
operated by oars and steered by an
oar, but his method for sinking and
rising was ingenious. though it had
been used with little success by Bo-
relli almost 100 years before. Along

manned 20 minutes. On rising to the
surface he saw that the current had
carried him far downstream 80 he
plunged again and returned. under
water. to the starting point. During
this trial the only light he had was
given by one candle and among other
improvements he Immediately installed
plates Of glass to let in a certain
amount of light while submerged.
Shortly afterwards, at Brest, he
sailed out of the harbor and while
throngs watched him from shore and
from vessels, he suddenly lowered his
little sail and disappeared beneath the
waves. On this occasion he remained
down five hours but nevertheless the
French government declined to pur-
chase his invention.
All these early submarines we're
propelled by oars or by paddle wheels
which had to be operated by hand or
by treadmills, and 1t was this mechan-
ical imperfection in means OF pro-
pulsion which was for the most part
responsible for their failure.
Another drawback was the lack of
means for exit or ingress of bodies or
objects while submerged. DR.. Pay
ERNIE. a Frenchman, was the first to
solve this problem in a practical man
ner In 1S46. He used compressed air
in storage tanks for breathing pur-
poses and also had an opening in the
bottom of his vessel. When this was
to be opened he increased the air
pressure in the hull itself until IL was
sufficient to keep out the water 1t
is this principle which today makes
possible the discharge OF torped oes
from the tubes of a submarine at any
