The ra- sults of his research are interesting. “No Other such find has been made in Britain," he writes, "and the -boat thus possesses an interest greater even than that attaching to the clin- ker built boat of King Alfred‘s time‘, discovered at Walthamstow a. few years ago." . _ A coin of Allectais, which was found In thi! b0\1€. .points to its date being about 293-296 A.

The episode which probably led to its destruction was the defeat of Al- lectus, the successor of Carausiua. Carausius rehelled toward the and of the third century, took possession of Britain and assumed the imperial purple. It is believed that it was he who created the first British fleet. Among the articles found in or near the boat were five bronze coins, frag- ments of pottery, three gaming but- tons, two firitish spear heads and five horses-hoes. Portions of leather footwear were studded with iron nails very similar to those used- by t.e British workmen today.
