of the' iverpool exhibition. She was.

s I ,
i,A building 'having been commenced i
1153, and equipped ready far sailing by
Jaamary„ 1860. It was. built for the
Eastern Steam Navigation Company,
and was intended for the Indian and
Australian route by the Cape of Good
Hope'. During the construction of the
asesseL, the preportions of the ship were
*teen to great advantage, as she lay with
her broadside- to the river, her form
being 'to- a great extent free from the
forest poles: which usually serves as
the stage used in ordinary ship -building.
The hull of the vessel. is built entirely
of iron, and is 680, feet in length, 80 feet
in breadth and 58 feet in height from
keel to., deck. The ship is divided trans-
versely in ten separate compartments, of
ti0- feet each, rendered perfectly water-
tight by bulkheads,: having no openings'
whatever lower than the second deck,
whilst two longitudinal walls of iron, 36
feet apart, traverse '350 feet of the length
of the ship.
Some idea of the magnitude- of thee
dimensions may be formed when it is
stated the Great Eastern is six times
the size of the Duke of Wellington's
Ent -of -battle ship; that her length is
more than three times that of the monu-
ment on, Fish Street - while her
breadth, is equal to the width of Pall
and that a promenade round, the
deck affords a walk of more than a
quarter of a mile. . She was designed by
Mr. Isambard Kingdom Brunel, F. L. S.,
the "father at transatlantic steam nava-
gation.." The bottom. of the ship his al-
most flat. Upeto the water mark,' the
hall is- constructed with an . inner and
outer skin, nearly three feet apart, , and
each composed of three-quarter inch
plates-. between these at intervals of
aix feet, run horizontal • webs of iron
plates, which- materially increase the
power of resistance, both of the inner
and eater skin. Abont 10,000 tone of
iron plates were used in the construction
of the hull. 'These plates are 30,000 in
and arle each secured by 100 iron
rivets.
The distinguishing feature of the
Great Eastern in addition to her vast
size is the earabiaed application 'of
steamspower ttrongh the paddle wheel
and. the screw. The engines are corn
aiderably larger than anyettitheato Made
for marine purposes. The vessel. has
tee boilers and five:fannels„ and • the
healers are placed longitudinally along
the centre of the ship,. and are entirely
independent of each other. Each pad-
dle boiler has ten furnaces; and each
screw boiler twelve furnaces, thus giving
to • the whole the large number of one
handred and twelve furnace. Inde-
pendent of, her, m
stea-power, her means
et propulsion are aided by six. masts, no
less than 6,500 square yards of eaavas
being used in the construction of her
sails. The paddle -wheels are fifty eight
feet in diameter and the engine shaft
160 feet in length. The ship was de-
sigaed to. accommodate 4,000 passengers
-800 first class, 2,000 second class, and
',Dia third class-seindependently of1 the
complement of about 400 haads.
Her registered tonnage is 53,000- 1.
The first attempt -0 float this monster
vessel Was 'made in November, 1857, but
ansuccessfully. On Sunday, January
:Ilea. 1858, however, in the presence of
a vast concourse of spectators, she yield-
ed to the hydraulic pressure that was
brught to bear upon her, and glided
slawly but gracefully into the Thames,_
where she lay at rest, while being fitted
tot sea, till November, 1859, where , she
was towed down the river to Gravesend.
itt tne- following June the Great Eastern
made her first sea trip. Iti.may be of iater-
est to record that when first floated, the
vessel registered sixteen and a half feet
aft, and fourteen feet eleven inches .for-
ward, at within six. inches of the amount
calculated.
In a -work entitled "A Floating City "
by Jules Verne,. some interesting par-
ticalars of the great ship and its subse-
quent career are given. From it We
learn that __after twenty passages from
Eugland to America, one of which was
marked by very serious disasters the use
of the Great Eastern was temporarily I`
abandoaed, and this immense ship; ar-
ranged to accomtnodate passengers,
seemed no longer good for anything.
When the first attempt to lay the At-
lantic cable had failed -partly because
the number of ships Which carried ihwas
ineufficient-engineers thought . of the
Great. Eastern. She alone co.uld store
ea board the 2,100, miles of -metallic Wire,
weighing 4,500. She alone, thanks
to her. perfect indifference to the sea,
could earoll and immere this immense
cable. But special arrangements were
necessary for staring away the cable in
the ship's hold. Two out of six boilers
were removed_ and One funnel out of
three belonging. to the ;serew engine .1; in
their places. large tank a were placed for
the cable, which was immereed water
to preserve it from the e:ffects of varia-
tion of the atmosphere; the wire thus
passed from these tanks. -of water into
the sea without suffering the least con-
tact with the air. The laying of the
cable having been successfully accom-
plished and the object in view attained,
the Great Eastern was once more left in
her costly idleness.
The vessel was afterwards takenin
heed by a French company,. which ;was
floated with a capital of 2,000,000. francs,
with the intention of again conveying
passengers across the Atlantic,. and the
-
immense ship was accordingly re -arrang-
ed for that purpose.
The interior of the'ship was fitted with
every eanvenience„ and every luxury to
suit the requirements of passengers.
The ladies' saloon and the grand saloon
were ornainented with lastrcs„ swinging
lamps and pictures, and the magnificent
rooms lighted by side sky lights, sup-
ported an gilded pillars, and -cammuni-
eating with the upper deck by wide
staircases with metallic steps and ma-
hogany balusters. The laundries and
the crew's berths are shutoff at the fore
part ; an deck are arranged four rows of
cabins/ separated by a passage, and at
the stern three immense dining -rooms
run it the eame direction as the cabins.
A passage leads from the saloons at the
stern to those at the bows round the
paddle, eagine, between its . sheet -iron
partition and the ship's offices. .

What the People say about the
Columbus Watclies
-SOLD AT_
Papst's jewelry store
No. 1 Campbell's Block, Seaforth.
To C. L. Papst, jeweller, Seaforth: Dear Sir:
I feel it my duty to tell you how pleased I am
with the Colturbus Watch I purchased from you
some eight months ago: it has kept thole accur-
ately, beyond my most sanguine expectations;
I fully believe it will not vary a minute ina
year; it will run fully 36 hours with one wind-
ing; I have no hesitation in recommending it
to ariy person in need of a Watch as a correct
timekeeper; I would not part with it for any
other make I know of. Yours truly, JACOB MC -
GEE, retired fanner. Eginondville, Nevember
5th, 1886. ,
Mr. Papst, Jeweller, Seaforth. Sir: The Col-
umbus Watch that I purchased from you 'about
a year ago is a beautiful timekeeper, and I am
well pleased, as it has given me entire satisfac-
tion. I have had other watches, but found none
so good and perfect as the Columbus, which I
DOW wear. Respectfully, PATRICK KRATIttiO.
C. L. Papst, Jeweller, Seaforth. Dear Sir:
, The Columbus movement I. purchased from you
sonic time ago, in a Boss filled case, is as repre-
sented, and I don't think there IS any watch
made in the wOrld that will keep better tinie, as
mine has never varied since I purchased it, and
I would tell everybody to get a Columbns move-
ment when wanting_ s good watch. Yours Melly,
JOHN PARKEK, Windsor, Ont.
C. L. Papst, Jeweller : When you said take .the
Columbus watch if you want a timekeeper, I
felt a little indifferent, but I must say My opin-
ion was agreeably changed, as I can find no
better watch as a timekeeper than the 'Colum-
bus ; BO say I, take the Columbus in vement
every time. Truly yours, L. Mumeir. October
28th, 1886.
C. L. Papst, Esq.: The Columbus watdh which
you recommended me to take, is a first-class
timekeeper, and I think there is no better. I
ani well satisfied with my bargain. .ROBERT
