No attempt whatever seemsto have been made to protect the vital parts of thisinfernal triumph in the slightest. Her boilers andengines are as much above the water line as below, andno protection is given to the boilers except coal, which, of course, will not be there when most needed to pro-tect them from the solid shots of the enemy. Both ofher engines are in one compartment, so that if a hole ismade in that compartment, or a shot goes through thesteam pipes of one engine, it would disable the motivepower completely. In fact, a single shot from a re-volving cannon of the size which is carried in the topsof vessels of modern build can easily penetrate themain steam pipe and completely disable the boat.

Thisarrangement secures to the firing a mobility that per-mits of striking the enemy and his batteries in everyposition. The guns, loaded and pointed in the eclipseposition, that is to say, depressed, appear but for a fewseconds at the moment of firing. It the enemys firebecomes too hot for the exposed gun, the latter, with-out changing its aim, can be shifted to the right or leftby the gunners to a distance of 20, 30, or 100 yards, andbegin ? firing again without losing the benefit of itsregulation, thanks to a mathematical correction ofextreme simplicity.
