into the forecastle, and alter we had closed the scuttles, he re-
sumed his employ mer.t, mad law to woo k without site &Ikons ;
II hail only fixed one or your Illuminators in each stop. The
Satinet me particularly pleased, and I heard them declare they
woeM sail for lees wllgn in a ship that had your lights fixed,

ail of g for want of immediate assistance ; and may I
nut add, that Crew, Ship, and Cargo might be saved, by hay.
log immediate help in a sudden squall.
lain sloe willing to bear testimony to any improvement that
proves u•eful to a ship, sod tend' in any way to add to the cent.
torts of th, seamen, aril I feel myself, in Justice to your inven-
tion, bound is write you this account.
