. . that of giving effectual aid to this forlorn, uncouth man of genius [Fitch] in his costly experiments."* Fitch and Rumsey were rivals in their field of invention, even to " a war of pamphlets " ; both seemed on the point of successfully applying the power of steam to boats, but "it is probable enough," writes at least one biographer of Fitch, "that Rumsey had enter- tained the idea of propelling a boat by steam be- fore it occurred to Fitch."t It is impossible to make a categorical statemen...t, but a query, at least, is not out of place : What if Fitch, who was to live, had met the sympathetic, influential Washington now in 1784, and Rumsey, whose life was soon over, had been the one Franklin turned away empty-handed and empty-hearted? It is difficult to tell just how much of Rumsey's short- lived success was due to Washington ; in March, 1786, he successfully propelled a boat by steam on the Potomac River, on which stream Virginia had, in 1784, given him the exclusive rights of navigation for ten years, acting on Washington's * Life of Benjamin Franklin (New York, 1864), II, 548-549.
