When they, were half frightened out of their senses by
the tilting, there came a noise as if all the machinery was bursting at
the same moment, and when they had made up their minds that the whole
affair was going to pieces, the vessel began to move through the water.
As soon as it was found that the ship really did move, and that nothing
was going to blow up, everybody began to praise her, and the trial was
pronounced a great success.
Although at the trial the boat proved very slow, the builder is so
enthusiastic about her that he says he is confident she will be able to
move through the water at the rate of sixty miles an hour.
If this feat is accomplished, the three thousand miles of sea that
divide us from Europe will be crossed in two days and two hours.
