Credit is sometimes given to John Fitch, who, it is said, invented a boat propelled by steam, that carried passengers on the Delaware River in 1787. An Englishman named Symington is said to have run a steamboat in 1801, while Robert Fulton's success was delayed until 1806.
At this time the people of Leicestershire were once more very good to us, and our War Diary contains a note that "This day the C.O. acknowledges with thanks the gifts of 30,000 cigarettes from our 2/5th Battalion, also a hand ambulance from Messrs. Symington and Co., Market Harborough."
Doctor Andrew Symington, the most influential minister in the Synod did actually and publicly co-operate with the Evangelical Alliance; and in 1841 the same professor was among the foremost in projecting a plan for a "concert of prayer," by diverse sorts of professors, those of the Established Church of Scotland being expressly mentioned.
We ought to have two or three of our rear-admirals here on their fleet now. Symington, of course, is a good fellow; but he's a mere commander and attaché not an admiral in other words, not any particular compliment or courtesy to the British Navy. The Russians sent a brigadier-general. We ought to have sent General Wood. You see the difference? There was no courtesy in our method.
And when Louis Symington saw her coming alone, only the sunbrown on his face concealed the sudden rush of blood from it to his heart. "The professor could not come," she said hurriedly, "so he made me come without him; that is I mean " And she stopped, confused.
Serenely, blissfully, did Mr. Symington wend his way to the bank on that golden afternoon. It had occurred to him to exchange his faultless and too expensive boating-costume for a cheap jersey and trousers; but he feared that this might excite suspicion: he had still sense enough left to be aware that there had been no shadow of this in the sweet blue eyes yesterday. He had not sung
Among the people who were looking at it were a party who seemed to have run out from dinner in some neighbouring house; the ladies were fantastically wrapped up, as if they had flung on the first things they could seize. "Isn't it perfectly magnificent!" cried a pretty girl. "I wouldn't have missed it on any account. Thank you so much, Mr. Symington, for bringing us out!"
An engine was placed on a frame, fixed between two pleasure boats, and made to turn two paddle-wheels, one in front of the other the invention of William Symington which drove the improvised steamer across Dalswinton Loch, at the rate of five miles an hour.
Symington and his school, we cannot consistently deny their conclusion. Nor could we resist a great many other conclusions which are frightful in the extreme. For if God could easily make all men holy, as it is contended he can, then the event is the best evidence of his real intention and design. Hence he really did not design the salvation of all men.
It seemed to him that for a full minute he could not speak, but in reality the pause was so brief that she did not notice it. "Yes," he said quietly, "I really and truly do. It would not be fair to disappoint Mr. Symington, after making the engagement." "And can't you possibly go, dear?" she asked entreatingly.
