An Amphibious Automobile. 
JuLtrs VERNE’s dreams are fast coming true. 
On Tuesday, Nov. 12, people on upper Broad- 
way were surprised to see the Waterland I., a 
motor boat on four apparently solid wheels, with 
automobile lamps rigged up as a ship’s side 
lights and bow light should be; a cockpit with 
automobile seats and steering wheel and a rud- 
der with propeller covered by a case at the 
stern, go speeding along the smooth asphalt 
surrounded by a consort of several automobiles. 
The metal hull of this strange mixture of 
boat and auto was 30ft. long by 6ft. beam. It 
was 3{ft. 6in. deep amidships, and 2ft. at each 
end, the deck having a camber fore and aft the 
reverse of an ordinary boat’s sheer. 
The forward wheels turned as in any auto and 
steered the boat on land and also helped the 
rudder when afloat. There wheels were of wood 
covered with steel plates and shod with hard 
rubber tires. 
A De Dion two-cylinder 20 horsepower motor 
furnished the power. Her inventor, Mr. Jules 
Julian Raveller, of Paris, France, has brought 
her over to America to demonstrate her prac- 
ticability. 
From sist street the cavalcade proceeded up 
Broadway to 173d street, and then Waterland I. 
and one other auto descended the steep road to 
Fort Washington Park by Depot Lane and ran 
through sand and all plump into the Hudson 
River for all the world like a duck, and as 
naturally as a duck she swam about with three 
people aboard. She will be of little use for 
rough water, but for crossing streams and 
ponds, her low ends would do. 
What will we see next?
