Transcriber’s Notes:

1. Minor changes have been made to correct typesetters’ errors; otherwise every effort has been made to be faithful to the author’s words and intent.

2. In the edition from which this e-text has been transcribed, the printers omitted the words “At a” from the 9th paragraph of Chapter IV. The research staff at the University of Northern Colorado, Greely, Colorado, were kind enough to locate their edition, and find the correct words to commence the sentence.

3. Page numbering in the List of Diagrams for “A Rebel Torpedo” has been changed to reflect the illustration’s final placement in this e-text.
