There' is considerable difference in the construction of 
the three boats. In Temeraire steel cross ties are large- 
ly used in the floors, and the workmanship, direct from 
the Fife shops, is very fine. She has a yery sturdy oak 
mast step with special castings, and an ingenious set of 
knees to take up the strain at the chain plates. 
There is less iron work iii the Mylne boat, and her 
construction looks comparatively light, but she has 
three diagonal steel straps on the inner side of her 
planking. The two boats are planked in long strakes, and 
do not show more than a dozen butts to the side. The 
butts are all long scarfs, lapping over four frames, aiid 
are put in on the, bench, the whole strake going on in 
one piece. 
Hamilton II. does not use much iron work, although 
she has three steel straps inside the frames at the chain 
plates, and three more amidships. She is heavily framed 
and has strong oak floors cross-tied at every frame.

dog dived for the coin and brought up a two-pound catfish and 
35 cents in change. — Floresville (Mo.) Chronicle.
