Experiments for raising sunken vessels by means
of gulls percba tubes have been made during the last
few days on the Seine, near the bridge de l'Archeviche.
Amongst others, a boat laden with between 5,000 and
6,000 kilogrammes (from 5 to 6 tons) was sunk, and
then raised with its burden by the tubes filled with
air. The experiments were witnessed by several
persons connected with the navigation of the river,
and by Prince N. BONAPARTE, ex-representative.

Pierre, born at Havre, 19th January, 1737:'
