WI. Crew 0utrows
IG. W. High TO Retain
North Virginia Title
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.

Rowing in near-perfect form,
Washington-Lee g High Schools S
eight-oared crew rang down the
curtain yesterday on the school
boy season in this area by beating
an underweight crew of George
Washington High off Potomac
Boat Club.
In winning by three boat lengths,
the Generals captured for the
second year the Old Dominion
Boat Club Presidents Trophy,
symbol of the Northern Virginia
scholastic championship.
just year ago, the WI. crew
started its spectacular career by
taking the ODBC prize and con-
tinuing until it earned the ma
tional schoolboy rowing title.
After the race. Coach Charlie
Butt of WI. started planning for
the Eastern title competition next
week end at Philadelphia for the
Stotesbury Trophy, won last year
by the Generals. They are en-
tered also in the nationals May
80 at Princeton.
A valiant crew from Alexandria,
stroked by Lewis Bell, stayed with
the Generals until the halfway
mark. Then WI. Cockswain Dick
McCombs and Stroke Pete Spar
hawk stepped up the pace, with
McCombs beating a tattoo against
the shell with the tiller rope grips.
The junior eight race provided
the youthful cheering section with
real material. The G. w. crew,
stroked by 8th-grader Curtis At
kins, bounded the WI. eight all
the way down the mile course.
And when the No. S man in the
Generals crew caught a crab and
nearly lost his oar close to the
finish, the Alexandrians almost
took the race. They finished a
second apart. with WI. the
winner.
In the half-mile 4-oared gig
race, WI. won again, but with
a G. w. crew, all 9th graders,
coming in strong.

In this letter by Rumsey's part
ner. 1 feel we have, in very ro-
mantle words, one of the great dra-
mas of all time. He tells how Rum
sey spent much time on his machin-
cry and then one day invited his
partner, Orrick, to accompany him
in the trial. In all these letters there
is much evidence of the pains Rum
sey took to keep everything secret.
In this case, those present at the
first trial were only Rumsey, his
brother n-law, who helped with the
machinery, and the partner in the
store, Mr.. Orrick The trial was
made after dark, and if we Of today,
who see modern, miracle-like ma
chimes, could see the machinery on
which this experiment depended, /
believe we too would have doubted
its worthiness. The boiler was just
an iron pot, with a lid, assembled in
a blacksmith shop. Mr.. Orrick, in
simple words, states that the steam
engine "did actually propell the
boat" There, in the darkness, on
the waters of the Potomac, was born
one of the greatest of all mechanical
contrivances.
It is not known how often Mr..
Rumsey went out on the river after
this trial by night, till he finally adj
vertised his first public run. But he
continued experimenting several
years. This run occurred in 1874,
and the famous public trial was not
till 1887.
And during this time James Rum
sey did number of other things.
He invented a new type of boiler, a
principle used in all large units to-
day. It consisted not of a pot, or
simple container for the water and
steam, but the entire boiler was a
long continued pipe, of about two
inches diameter, and perhaps two
hundred feet in length, coiled and
bent into very small space. This

HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS
by
Ida 10 Martin

In the last several columns of
Horse and Buggy Days l have told
you little about the early days of
James Rumsey and of his plans and
working model of a mechanically
propelled boat that was seen in OPP
Grafton by General George Wash
ington, and highly approved. And
l also told you of Rumsey's connec-
ton with the famous Potomac Com
pany.
After his severance of relations
with that company, Mr.. Rumsey re-
turned to Bath, now Berkely Springs,
and plunged seriously into the work
of his inventions. Here he was a
partner with one Nicholas Orrick, in
a store. And in this town he started
his machinery. In his day there was
no General Motors research board
who would take interest in a new
invention; no one to help, and even
few to encourage anyone in some
thing so revolutionary as this. So
Mr.. Rumsey spent years, often in
disappointment, and discourage
ment, making his own machinery.
Sometimes, while superintendent
of the Potomac Company, Rumsey's
mind turned from the mechanical de-
vice he earlier used in his model, to
the employment of steam. And af-
ter this departure from the time
consuming job of making the river
navigable, he directed most of his
efforts along the line of steam. For
tunately, there have been preserved
many letters, some of them sworn
to by authorities, which tell the
first-hand story of what many had
seen of his experiments. One of
these is a letter written by Rum
sey's partner, Orrick. In this he
tells how Rumsey started working
ION his machinery, including the
steam boiler, while at Bath; had the
boat constructed, and then changed
his scene of activities to a portion OF
the Potomac, within the boundary of
Washington County. (All of the Pc
tomac Rover, bordering our State,

gave an enormous increase in sur
face in contact with the fire, and not
only-increased the capacity, but cut
down on the weight.
And during this time, Rumsey took
time to build a boat and equip it
with the mechanism he first dis
played to George Washington, in the
form of working model. AS near
as | can understand the descriptions
of the way it worked, there were
large paddle wheels, similar to what
we know as a side wheeler" that
were turned by the force of the
stream of water descending its
course. These wheels were connected
to "pusher poles" so arranged that
the turning of the wheels caused the
poles to engage the bottom of the
stream, and not only anchor the
boat against being carried down
stream, but also to push it upstream.
Thus the force of Nature, in the des-
cending stream, was employed to
force the boat against that same
current.
Mr.. Rumsey finally made several
trial runs in this boat-and it worked
The boat attracted quite bit of at
tention and finally there were fair
sized crowds on the banks watching.
Many of these friends insisted that
public announcement be made,
and date set for a special demon
stration. But this, Rumsey never
did with his mechanical boat.
In 1876 General Washington wrote
very interesting letter to his
friend, James Rumsey, in which he
strongly advised him to not delay
in bringing to completion his work
that would make ready public
demonstration of his steam boat. He
expressed the highest regard for
Runsey and wished to be of as much
help as possible. He pointed out that
in delay there was danger of others
hearing about his principles, copy
ing them, and beating him to the
completion, and thus win the favor
of the public, after Rumsey's years
of heart-rending labors. He even
mentioned that one person had ap-
plyed to him Washington for a
certificate of some kind regarding the
use of steam for driving boats. In
another letter, not Washington's, we
find this person, referred to by
Washington, with this information.
He went to visit Rumsey in 1877 at
Shepherdstown, and while in Rum
sey's workshop, he saw the new type
