Am IN CASE OF SHIPWRECK.--Several experiments have
recently been made before the Trinity Board, and a Board of
General Officers, at Woolwich, on a new plan, for affording
speedy and effectual aid in case of shipwreck. It differs from
Capt. Manby's plan, inasmuch as the line of (communication
can be made by means of a rocket instead of a mortar. A roller
is also added, and so admirably constructed, as to render
considerable facility and safety in reaching the shore. The
advantage thatmust be derived in the night time, from the
rocket, is obvious, as it is so constructed, that it will
burn in the water. The precision, by which thelirte of com-
munication is formed, is also considerably augmented; 'and the
safety of life and property consequent upon having the apparatus
ready on board, in case of accident, is paramountlY enhanced.
The two Boards have spoken in appropriate terms Of the new
plan, and have made their report accordingly.
