The outline of the bows is

described to me as being like the blade of a scythe, pointing up- wards out of the water. By some prices, asid to be newly invented, thia blade is extremely hard and extremely sharp, so that when the aubmarine, travelling at a mode- rate speed, strikes a wire hawser an inch and a half thick, its cata is through as if mere hempen

rope.

These new vessels are built and provided for voyages of 70 days, while in case of absolute necessity the voyage can be much

extended.
