romes a sense of wonder that so ahort a
norklng span could yield produota so many
111. 1 diverse.
lla-Kt-rlptloB of tha Clermont.
Fulton's own description of tha Clermont
'is contained In a paper In possession of ona
of his heirs.
My first steamboat on tha Hudson's
river was 150 feet long, 13 feet wide, draw
ing 2 feet of water, bow and atern 60 de
grees; It displaced S4.10 cublo feet, equal
100 tons of water; Its bow preaented 28 ftet
to the water, plua and minus the resistance
of 1 foot, running 4 miles an hour."
In tna "Nautical Gazette," for 1907. the
editor, Mr. Samuel Ward Stanton, gives
the following additional details:
"Tha bottom of the boat waa formed of
yellow pine plank 1.6 lnchea thick, tongued
and grooved, and Bet together with white
lead. Thia bottom or platform waa laid In
a transverse platform and moulded out
with batten and nails. Tha shape of tho
bottom being thus formed, the floors of
oak and spruce were placed across the
bottom; tha spruce floors being 4x8 Inches
and I feet apart. The oak floora were re
served for tha ends and were both sided
and moulded 8 Inches. Its top timber
(which were of spruce and extended from
a log that formed the bridge to the deck)
were sided 6 inches and moulded 4 Inches
at tha head. It had no guards when first
built and was steered by a tiller. .Its
draught of water was 28 inches."
Fulton did not take out a patent for his
steamboat until February, 1809, and his sec
ond patent was secured October Z, 1910.
None of his patents Is In existence. The
United States Patent office has recently
stated that while tha Index of patents says
that on February . 1811, a patent. waa Is
sued to Robert Fulton, the office Is unable
to furnish a copy of It, as the records
were destroyed in tha patent office fir of
1836. Ther remains however, In possession
of on of his heirs his "Notes on the Pat
ent of 180S."
The commercial success which the Cler
mont obtained led, within a few months,
to the necessity of lta enlargement rd
development, and this reconstruction ob
scured th knowledge of the Initial plana
for th first American boat, which until
recently have been considered lost.
We now come to the Clermont's mem-
T-Te thinks he is breaking in a
pair of new shoes. Don't
you believe it. He isn't "break

shaping them to fit his feet, or

feet. It doesn't pay.

orable first voyage on the Hudson. On
August 17, at 1 o'clock the boat was loosed
from Its moorings at a dock on the North
river, ' near the state's prison, Greenwich
village. Fulton's own account of the event
and of hla feelings at this crisis have for
tunately been preserved In a valuable let
ter to an unknown friend, which Is now
In the poasesslon of Mrs. Robert Fulton
Blight, and which ha never before been
published. It reada:
"My Dear Sir: The moment arrived
In which the word was to be given for
the boat to move. My friends were in
groupa on deck. There was anxiety mixed
with fear among them. They were silent,
sad and weary. I read in their looks noth
ing but disaster, and almost repented of
my efforts. The signal was given and the
boat moved on a short distance and then
stopped and became Immovable. To the
silence of the preceding moment now suc
ceeded murmurs of discontent and agita
tions and whisper and shrugs. I could
hear distinctly repeated: 'I told you It was
so; It Is a foolish scheme; I wish we were
well out of it.'
"I elevated myself upon a platform and
addressed the assembly. I stated that I
knew not what was the matter, but if
they would be quiet and Indulge me for
half an hour, I would either go on or
abandon the voyage for that time. This
short respite was conceded without ob
jection. I went below and examined the
machinery, and discovered that the cause
waa a alight maladjustment of aome of
the work. In a short time It waa obviated.
The boat waa again put In motion. It con
tinued to move on. All were still Incred
ulous. None seemed willing to trust the
evidence of their own senses. We left the
fair city of New York; we passed through
the romantlo and ever-varying scenery of
the Highlands; we descried the clustering
houses of Albany; we reached lta shores
and then, even then, when all semed
achieved, I was the victim of disappoint
ment "Imagination superseded the Influence of
fact. It was then doubted If It could be
done again, or. If done, It was doubted If
it could be made of any great value. Yours,
"R. FULTON."
An Odd Craft.
It was an odd craft. The machinery,
placed In the center, was exposed to view
and creaked ominously. Only the bow and
stern were covered to form the cabin. The
unprotected paddl wheels awuug ponder
ously at each aide and splashed the water
as they revolved. There were two masts.
but no bowsprit, aa sometimes pictures.
The compass was rather rude, but answeied
the purpose well, though the man at the
tiller In the stern had difficulty In defin
ing the course. After the first voyage
Fulton realized th misplacement of the
tiller, and proposed an adjustment of guid
ing ropes from each side of the tiller to a
foiward wheel near the mainmast, and thU
alteration was made before the vessel
passed Into commercial service. There wa
no steam whistle, and upon arrival at a
wharf a horn was blown, and soma of the
crew were set to work to carry enough
wood on board to supply fuel until th next
landing. The historic bell of the Clermont,
rung at the launching of th new model,
July 10. 1608, under th auaplcea of the
Hudson-Fulton Celebration commission,
was probably used on th original boat
after It had been widened and enlarged In
accommodations. This bell, which Is to be
an Interesting feature of th celebration,
ba been loaned to the commission by tne
pi evident of th Hudson River lay line ot
steamboats.
Lik th val lUMlt, th imprstou It
made was unique. It was described" as
an "ungainly craft looking precisely like
a back-woods saw-mill mounted on a
scow and set on fire." It Is easy to
fancy the astonishment and even the alarm
of the crews of the ordinary sailing boats
of the river and of the dwellers In the
towns along the shores. It is asserted that
some of the sailors when they snw "this
queer looking saillcsM thing" gaining upun
them In spite of contrary wind and tide,
actually abandoned their vessels and took
to the woods in fright. Others, who saw
the boat In the night, described her as a
"monster moving on the waters defying
the winds and tide, and breathing flames
and smoke." Some prostrated themselves
and prayed a kind Providence for pro
tection from the approaches of the mon
ster, which was marching on the waters
and lighting Its pathway with fire. It is
easy In this day to find amusement In their
consternation, but the unexpected appear
ance of the strange craft must Indeed have
been terrific. The fuel used was pine wood,
and when the fire was stirred by th
engineer a galaxy of sparks ascended.
