between the fanciful conception of Mr. Arthur Moreland of the first boat-a log, bestridden by adventur- ous primitive men, floating down a stream-and the Strathnairn, driven by Diesel-electric engines, Mr. March surveyed the whole field of maritime conquest. He traced the development of the ship from the Egyptian boat, with its square sail, whose sailors had no knowledge of the art of tacking and bodily re- moved the mast when they rowed down river against the tide; the Chinese junk, with its triangular lateen-sall — still unchanged after thousands of years; the Roman galley and the war boats of the Vikings. He showed how the "fore- castle" and the "sterncastle" came to be built on fighting ships, how the steering oar on the starboard

side gave place to the rudder, and how the mast became permanently Ant-stepped in the ship instead of being lowered as in former times. He explained also how the Crusaders
