J.-fiUlw Browne, tt. is four Mailed, but it. would be imp'issib.e to convey an idea of the shape of the blades without diagrams. The effect produced by its revolutions u t<> eject a rope of water, which is thrown out at n*;l'u angles in the direction propelled, by which-f|?ans a maximum pressure is obtained upon the water displaced by the propeller. Tho direct action of this scruw practically serves as a rudder; is. if the helm is lashedaniiitships, the vessel will course, without swervinii' so much, as the fracXieflSi. a point,, thoutxb she be ruuniuii' athwurt a eunent velocity, further, it hu-s r.een shown by repeate«f fKS ferimentis that this propeller wilt stop a vessel ui her wn lenarth, the counter action beii-.j precisely synotiynioua with the direct action.
