赵刚闻言大喜,又问道:
  “王大人,我要在半年内扩建船坞,使其可容两万吨巨舰停泊修理,所需材料以及人力物力财力几何,你写个条陈给我。”
  王仁宝不敢置信的看赵刚,
  “大人难道是想???”
  “不错,此事机密,袁大人向我推荐你,否则也不会告诉你,还请你不要外泄。”
  王仁宝应了声,人好像还没有醒过来,有些怔怔。赵刚见了知道他是有些欢喜过头,就打岔道:
  “王大人,不知除了旅顺船坞之外,我大清尚有几个船坞?”
  王仁宝对这个问题张嘴就来:
  “福州船坞原为泥坞,属于福州船厂,位于马尾山麓下的中歧地方,为同治六年(1876)所修。计地周围四百五十丈有奇,其中设有船槽一座,以铁杉木为梁柱,用机器旋转,将船挽而登陆,以便勘底修理。惟其槽身仅可任重一千五百吨左右,以之修理一百五十匹马力之船尚可,稍重即非所宜。”

no knowledge in the picturesque, and I shall offend you by my ignorance and want of taste if we come to particulars. I shall call hills steep, which ought to be bold; surfaces strange and uncouth, which ought to be irregular and rugged; and distant objects out of sight, which ought only to be indistinct through the soft medium of a hazy atmosphere. You must be satisfied with such admiration as I can honestly give. I call it a very fine country,- the hills are steep, the woods seem full of fine timber, and th
oil paintinge valley looks comfortable and snug,- with rich meadows and several neat farm houses scattered here and there. It exactly answers my idea of a fine country, because it unites beauty with utility- and I dare- say it is a picturesque one too, because you admire it; I can easily believe it to be full of rocks and promontories, grey moss and brushwood, but these are all lost on me. I know nothing of the picturesque."    "I am afraid it is but too true," said Marianne; "but why should you boast of it?"

¡¡¡¡During the night Camp Walbach was passed on the left; Lodge Pole Creek ran parallel with the road, marking the boundary between the territories of Wyoming and Colorado. They entered Nebraska at eleven, passed near Sedgwick, and touched at Julesburg, on the southern branch of the Platte River. ¡¡¡¡It was here that the Union Pacific Railroad was inaugurated on the 23rd of October, 1867, by the chief engineer, General Dodge. Two powerful locomotives, carrying nine cars of invited guests, amongst whom was Thomas C. Durant, vice-president of the road, stopped at this point; cheers were given, the Sioux and Pawnees performed
oil paintingan imitation Indian battle, fireworks were let off, and the first number of the Railway Pioneer was printed by a press brought on the train. Thus was celebrated the inauguration of this great railroad, a mighty instrument of progress and civilisation, thrown across the desert, and destined to link together cities and towns which do not yet exist. The whistle of the locomotive, more powerful than Amphion's lyre, was about to bid them rise from American soil. ¡¡¡¡Fort McPherson was left behind at eight in the morning, and three hundred and fifty-seven miles had yet to be traversed before reaching Omaha. The road followed the capricious windings of the

move forward; the train increased its speed, and soon its rapidity became frightful; a prolonged screech issued from the locomotive; the piston worked up and down twenty strokes to the second. They perceived that the whole train, rushing on at the rate of a hundred miles an hour, hardly bore upon the rails at all. ¡¡¡¡And they passed over! It was like a flash. No one saw the bridge. The train leaped, so to speak, from one bank to the other, and the engineer could not stop it until it had gone five miles beyond the station. But scarcely had the train passed the river, when the bridge, completely ruined, fell with a crash into the rapids of Medicine Bow. ¡¡¡¡ ¡¡¡¡
