WRECK OF TIIE CANIELEON.—We understand
another attempt is about to be made to raise the hull of this
ill-fated vessel, by Mr. Kemp, who, having obtained a patent
for the invention of his buoying principle, has received per-
mission from Government to make an experiment on the Came-
lean ; and in the event of its proving successful, the wreck as
it may be raised will become the reward of the enterprize.
Mr. Kemp's apparatus consists of a number of empty pun-
cheons, each open at one end, and having a bar of iron across,
by which, after being sunk, they are attached to a chain, pre-
viously passed round the wreck by the divers, who next employ
themselves in successively applying to each cask the elastic
tube through which they are filled by the air pump, and the
water consequently expelled. The puncheons thus charged
with air acquire a perpendicular position, and are so buoyant
as to render certain the raising of any weight proportionate to
the number of them employed. The operation of filling the
puncheons with air will be comparatively easy in this instance,
as from the favourable circumstance of the wreck lying in less
than thirteen fathoms water, little more than two atmospheres
will be required, and scarcely ary doubts are entertained of
the attempt proving successful.—Dover Telegraph.
