Napoleon was the master of Europe. He wanted to be the master of the world. But he had to first win England, and to win England he had to cross the English Channel in force. If only he had ships that could ignore wind and current and tide and out-travel the British war ships.
Just at that time, there came to his court a shaggy-haired American inventor, Robert Fulton by name. Fulton had invented a way of propelling(驱动)ships by steam instead of sails.
He had also worked out a submarine torpedo boat(鱼雷艇). He made successful tests of both these inventions, to the satisfaction of Napoleon's most doubting naval experts.
The problem was solved. It was Napoleon's God-given chance. He wanted very much to try Fulton's idea. Then he decided against it.
If Fulton's invention should fail, Napoleon was afraid that he would be the laughing-stock of Europe. He could not afford to be laughed at. So he refused to pay the price of a laugh, and incidentally, he threw away world conquest.
