J. Woodward and Mr. J. C. Me- Guire went over to Baltimore to test the aluminum boats of the Wellman ecretic ex- pedition. The first boat completed, which is eighteen feet long, four feet beam and two feet deep amidships, weighing 380 pounds, was thoroughly tested and was found to be more stable even than was ¢x- pected. The boat was put into the water empty and a men tried to capsize it by sitting on the gunwale and hanging outside, but it was impossible to overturn it. It Was then loaded with sand bags weighing 3,333 pounds and seven men weighiug 1,1: pounds also got on board, making 4,401 pounds in all. Even with this great load the boat was five and one-half iaches out of_water amidships. The boat was then unloaded and the air- tight compartments were tested by cap- sizing the boat, but it was impossible to set it more than half full of water, as the compartments held it so high out of the Water as to act on the principle of @ self- bailer. The boat was then taken alongside of the wharf and filied with water until the gunwale was flush with the surface and then @ man got on either end over the air-tight compartments. Still the boat did not sink, and as soon as it was cast it heeled over and emptied out one-half the water and then righted itself. The air- tight compartments were sul tested by being filled with water, i found to be perfectly tight. The other two a being built are not yet com- ple! —~ ABANDONED HER RABY.
