brighter colors than the facts warranted. He
told Ericsson that the idea was as good as
accepted; that it needed only the masters
touch for complete success. If ever lie was
to prove justified, this was the one. Ericsson
packed up and went.
But when he faced the Board the inventor
was quickly disillusioned. They received him

idea for an "ironclad" and got it accepted Now
he wanted to consult Ericsson professionally
in a matter of engineering detail. His own
ship, the Galena, was later to prove failure,
but his visit to Ericsson was worth every cent
the Government paid Mr.. Bushnell for that
unhappy vessel. For in the course of talk.
Ericsson burrowed into the trash heap and
resurrected his little model Bushnell instantly
saw it's possibilities and tried to get Ericsson
to submit it to the Government. But the
crusty Swede had had enough of Naval Boards.
So Bushnell, all on fire with enthusiasm.
took the model to the Capital himself. He
interviewed the President, cajoled the officials
of the Navy Department and got hearing
before Board of experts" Things began to
look bright.
But on the second day of his hearing.
Bushnell found the Board had gone suddenly

coldly, told him that his proposal had already
been rejected He turned to go. In that
moment the whole Monitor idea was again
close to extinction.
Then = by chance and at the last minute
% of the close -mouthed admirals let fall
casual remark disparaging the stability of
the projected ship 1t is curious that so fragile
thing as one unguarded remark should have
been link in the chain that saved the
Union! Instantly Ericsson was aroused. He
defended his idea so hotly and eloquenty
that before he drew breath hostile Board of
skeptical, old-line wooden-ship officers was
completely won over.
Yet the Monitor was built only against
continued opposition. The Board had no
sooner authorized her than they began to get
cold feet. They hampered Ericsson with
contract of unnecessary harshness. When the
press ridiculed the "cheesebox on a raft" as
she was a-building, they wrigged uneasily,
considered how they might renege. Only the
pertinacity of Ericsson and the hrmness of
Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy, ever
got the little ship into the water.
Her first trials were failure. Nothing
worked right. The chorus of boos rose to
howl
Two weeks later, her defects reCtified,
she had more nearly successful trial run. 1t
was only five days before she was to make his
tory. But in that short space of time she was
once nearly shelved and twice all but sunk.
e
Two hours after she had left, telegram
arrived directing her to Washington, instead
of Hampton Roads. Providentially she missed
it. If she had gone to Washington she would
have been rejected by the Government, for
she was far from meeting the over-stringent
specifications of her contract < one of which
provided that she should be fitted with sail!
On the way down the coast she ran into
heavy weather Some fool at the Navy Yard
had wedged her turret up and plugged the gap
with rope gasket. The rope washed away.
Torrents of water poured in. The blowers
wouldn't work. Coal gas filled the ship. Steam
began to fail. The pumps stopped. The
steering gear broke. Twice it seemed the end
had come.
And it would have come except for a fortui-
tous circumstance There was aboard Chief
Naval Engineer named Alban c. Sinners He
didn't belong there. But he had supervised
the installation of the Monitors remarkable
machinery, and he was determined to see that
it worked. So he came along as passenger
He was the only man aboard who understood
that machinery and could have set it right In
the black and terrible night of March 7-8,
when everybody else had given up hope
when the accompanying convoy had lost sight
of the Monitor and believed her sunk it
was Sinners and Newton, her own Chief
Engineer, who worked in darkness and oily
water - amid hot metal and noxious gas
until they were overcome - and pulled the
Monitor through.
What she did in Hampton Roads thirty-six
hours later was history before nightfall of
that fateful Sunday. But though it set the
Union afame with renewed hope, though it
changed not only the design of warships but
the entire course of history from that day to
this, it was not patch on the miracle she
achieved by ever getting there at ALL
Evening star., 1939-03-12

RT WAS six o'clock of Sunday morning in
Washington, seventy seven years ago. The
d Cabinet, hastily reused from Sleep clus-
tered pale and shaken around the President,
who held telegram just received from Hamp-
ton Roads. The day before, the Confederate
ram Merrimac had appeared suddenly among
the Union fleet. With deadly deliberation and
utter immunity she had destroyed two of the
biggest ships in the Union navy, then with
drawn at nightfall Today she would begin
again on the remaining helpless wooden
Ships
The Cabinet was appalled,. Some of them
were close to panic. Inevitably, it seemed,
this monster and others then building would
destroy the Union navy ship by ship, lay
Washington in ashes, reduce the seaboard
cities and dictate peace on the Confederacy's
terms. Stanton himself hard realist -
said, The war is lost. Nothing can save us
but a miracle"
Well, as everybody knows, the miracle
happened According to the letter of history
it happened that very Sunday. The Monitor,
which had arrived in the night, battered the
Merrimac back into Norfolk and saved the
day and the war for the Union.
But actually the miracle was not in the
Monitors performance in action. She was the
better ship 1t lay in her happening to be
there at all on that blacklist of days in
chain of accidents, of narrow shaves, of queer
condolences, of one inspired lie, and of super
human endeavor by number of unsung
heroes. The miracle was in the sheer incredi-
biity that all these improbables could COM
bine to put the Monitor in Hampton Roads
on that Sunday morning of March 9. 1862
To begin with, the Monitor came close to
never being heard of at all by our government.
Ericsson had designed his device for aquatic
attack" in 1854 and had tried to sell the idea
to France. Failing, he had cast it aside. The
Union governments call for armored ship
proposals, in 1861, found Ericsson with neither
faith in the Navy Department, with which he
had had some unpleasant experiences, nor
interest in his own idea. The model of the
Monitor lay dusty beneath pile of rubbish in
Ericsson's Office And there it would have
stayed, except for an accident.
There came to see Ericsson, one day, man
named G.. S. Bushnell. He had submitted an

Air Traffic Expands
Sharply as Vacation
Rush Begins
Major Carriers Report
Gains of IS to so Per
Cent Over 1888
By ]. G, DONLEY.

(Released by Consolidated News Features)
NEW YORK, July 12.-Air traffic
is rising by leaps and bounds, with
its best season-the peak vacation
period-just beginning. The air
lines are beginning to enjoy what
the railroads used to call traffic
density" which is a situation that
increases income while expenses
remain about the same.
Preliminary June estimates for a
group of major air carriers indicate
that the gain for that month will
run from SIS to so per cent. And that
gain comes on top of two very good
previous months. The "air transport
indicator" compiled by the maga-
zine Aviation, as of June /, 1899,
stood at 1861 That indicator is
the ratio of the passenger-m miles re-
ported by the Air Transport Asso-
citation for all domestic lines for
May, 1899, to the figure for May,
1898.
For the first five months of 1889
the traffic figure stands at 2l4 976.-
900 passenger miles-an increase of
1877 per cent over the like period of
last year. When the final results are
III for the Is airlines which report
to the Transport Association, it is
expected that June traffic will add
some 100000 to 64000.O0O revenue
passenger-miles to the total.
Traffic density" is a profit making
factor. It's magic lies in the fact
that, theoretically at least, it costs
