on each fide, (he kept up with the Machine Gai- 
ly ; making about 200 Rowers, which was the 
Number of the Machine Gaily s Crew. There 
was a little Wind a-head, which retarded the Su- 
perhe fomething more than it did the Machine 
Gaily ; becaufe the Superhe had her Malls and 
Yard-Arms Handing, and the other not.

Sign given for turning. 
10. 47. The Superhe was come about. It ap- 
pear’d, that the Machine Gaily was confiderabfy 
quicker in turning than the Superhe. 
10. 30. They came again into Port. 
By this it appears, that the Machine Gaily has a 
considerable Advantage over the common one, in quit- 
ting her Station, and acquiring her firft Motion : For, 
in (even Minutes, die ran the whole Length of the 
Port ; having quitted her Station by means of her 
Oars, without towing her felf by her Moorings ; which 
is what another Gaily would not have effected, but 
very (lowly. And the Superhe Gaily, after (lie had 
niov d from her Station, w ? as eight Minutes in going 
a lefs Diftance than the Length of the Port. 
But if we confider the Experiment made without 
the Harbour, it Teems to prove the common Gaily to 
have the Advantage over the Machine Gaily, tho f the 
Number of Hands be equal. For, with eight Oars 
lefs than her Complement on each fide, (lie kept up 
with the Machine Gaily, no!:withftanding the greater 
Refiflance of the Wind againft her Mads. However, 
if we confider, that the Crew of the Superhe was a 
great deal better than that of the Machine Gaily ;
