"The motor-driven ship is the ship

there has been one great dsadvant-
age, the terrific noise of the motors.
The new silencer we expect will solve

Mr.. Maxim said that. inasmuch as
his patents have not been issued, he
cannot disclose the construction of his
new invention. However, in general
principle 1t is not unlike other Mo kim

Its work by absorbing the recoil and
hence silencing the terrific exhaust.
Mr. Maxim says It is not dissimilar In
