In 1803 Fulton experimented on the River Seine, in France, with a small steamboat, and in 1807 launched another steam vessel oh "the Hudson river. The latter trial gave himj the credit of what has ever since been' accepted to be the first practical operation of a steamboat. But it is now claimed that Capt. Saniuel Morey of Fair lee, JVt., invented a steamboat which, in 1793, made a trial trip on the Connecticut river. Among those who witnessed this event was the late at that time a boy. In an address at the centennial of the town of Oxford, N. H., where Capt. Morey was born, he said: "So far as is known, the first steamboat ever seen on the waters of America was invented by Capt. Samuel Morey, of Oxford, N. H. The astonishing sight of this 'man ascending the Connecticut river, between that place and Fairlee, In a little boat just large enough, to contain himself and the rude machinery connected with the steam boiler and just a handful of wood for a fire, was witnessed by me in my boyhood, and by others who yet survive. This was as early as 1793, or earlier, and before Fulton's name had ever been mentioned in connection with steam navigation. "There is no reliable evidence from history to show that Fitch was the inventor of steam navigation in . this country, from the fact that the progress in that art cannot be traced back to him; but it can be traced to Robert Fulton, and from him directly to Capt. Samuel Morey, and nowhere else. It is settled beyond all question that Morey had launched his boat on the waters of Vermont before Fulton had accomplished the same thing in New York. It is also a fact Rev. Cyrus Mann; well-establish- ed that Fulton visited Morey at Fairlee for the purpose of witnessing his successful experiment before he himself had launched any kind of a steam craft; and it can be shown ..that Morey had been engaged in such experiments for years before," Capt. Morey on this first trip succeeded in making four miles an hour against the current. This first steamboat was a rough craft with crude apparatus. It was propelled by a paddle wheel at the bow, and the engine also was located near the bow. Morey after this first trip visited New York and consulted with Fulton and Livingston in regard to his invention, They showing them the model. of his invention, thought favorably but advised him to place the engine in the middle or side of the boat rather than in the front part, and his paddle wheel in the rear. Capt. Morey now 'made a much larger boat. This also was propelled by steam, and the power was applied to a paddle-whein the stern. It was also fitted with paddlewheels on the sides, which could be turned by hand power. The boat was called the Aunt Sally, and was painted white and adorned with fan-- 1 el tastic red stripes. In the year 1820,; it is alleged, the boat was sunk in Morey. Lake, a sheet of water in the vicinity of Fairlee, named after Capt. Morey by jealous enemies who filled it with bowlders. Others assert that Capt. Morey, fearing that his contemporaries might see the boat and deprive him of Ms patent by infringement, sank it himself. It is said to lie in about eighteen feet of water at the south end of the lake, a The spot is covfew rods off shore.; ered with pickerel grass and the, muddy bottom is very soft. In all probability it is by this time completely covered.- Some attempts have been made to raise it. In 1874 the New Hampshire Antiquarian Society appointed a committee to find the boat, but the committe searched in vain. Up in Vermont it is said that Fulton, conceiving the idea of, the invention from the model he had seen, despoiled Morey in later years of the fame and , ; name which he should have had. And Morey, his friend said, in his last years was of the same opinion himself and spoke bitterly of Fulton. The model, of the boiler and engine are still in existence, and are in the possession of C.i F. Bracey, of Wells river, Vt., and Judge Kibbe, of Fairlee, vt . ' ; . . . SLEEPING IN COFFINS.
