But it was "the small beginning of great things," the first commercial steamboat to be water-borne or this side of the Atlantic. Although Bell is said to have launched "not boat but an ides," he has no place among the great scientific discoverers or inven- tors: he belonged to the humbler if per haps not less useful type of men who put to the purposes of netaal life what 535 has only previously existed as ingenious theory. His fellow Scot, James Watt, of Greenock, discovered the potentialities of ateam, and two cthers placed an enginn on board a boat. There was Syraington who has the distinction of applying steam
