enemy.

APPARATUS FOR THE SAVING OF LIFE WHEN

A SHIP IS ON A " LEE " SHORE

This simple apparatus is the Invention of Lieutenant Hora-
tio Nelson Atkinson, the sou of " Nelson's " master on board
the Victory, at Trafalgar. A model has been shown to the
Admiralty, and to the Shipwrecked Fisherinen's Scciety,
which has met with their lordships' and the society's
warmest approval. Its advantages will shortly be demon-
strated off Southsea beach. A rocket first throws a line
ashore from the supposed distressed ship, by which the first
communication with the shore is formed, after which the
safety of passengers and crew is pretty certain. We earnestly
recommend this simple and valuable method to the considera-
tion of the mercantile community. The expense is compara-
tively trifling.
