Sauvage's life was a long struggle to get his invention recognised, and ended in failure and disaster, On first submitting his propeller to the. French Government; he was told. that the general application of thescrow system could not be jadopted, recent experiments in America having shown that the
principle was powerless on a big
scale,
His experiments continued to be disregarded in France, and he was imprisoned for debt at a time when his invention was being examined in England,
· Sauvage was still in prison when the frat French ship fitted with a propeller was successfully tried at Le Havre,
In 1937, still penniless, Sauvage died in a lunatie asylum at Picpus.
