P.R.SEERP:frION MARINERS.

Saturday se'nnight, Captain 24sytiv Made an ex-
periment on the beach at Cromer, of throwing his
new-constructed grapple-shot, attached to a line, from
a mortar, for the purpose of giving relief to vessels in
distress on a lee-shore, and where the sea washes far
upon it, or a distance from the lind. Bp this happy
invention, a more instantaneous communication may
be formed with the vessel, and pilots conveyed with
certainty and dispatch, when every other effort is im-
practicable; thereby the lives of our brave seamen
preserved, and the valuable property of our merchants
and owners'rescued from destruction.

In the first experiment, the grapple and li inch line
were projected with 12Oz. of powder across a rope
moored to two anchors, and suspended in the middle
by a buoy, upwards of 200 yards from the water's
edge. The grapple keeping a firm hold, the life-boat
was launched from its carnage, and quickly hauled
to the spot where the supposed vessel in distress lay,
and :hewed what might have been done by the hands
'sent out, to save the Crew, the cargo, and the vessel,
even if the supposed hands on board had been inca-
pable of making any efforts to assist !Acrelves. -Al
shot attached to a log-line was then the
,at from the
mortar, along the beach, with the same,ilttantity of
powder, to the distance of 404 yards, whiell was al-
lowed by the sea-faring men present ref be as far as
any cases of distress ripen our coasts might require.
'lt will naturally occur to our readers, that W a rope
1 by this means is projected vice versa from the ship to
the shore, the good consequences may be the same, for
any boat once got over the breakers, will convey the
timely assistance, and all may be sand.
The Earl of Moira and his Cerantets were present,
and his Lordship expressed his entire apuobation of
the result. Captain Manby expkted r! the Earl
many particulars relative to this nt*elkion, and in a
very easy and obliging manner answer,nile queries
of the company, with which the pier was filed.
The Committee for the support and management
' ofthe Cromer Life-boat drew up a testimonial of their
isteter approbation of the plan, and after signing the
'smite; presented it to the Captain. ii'lley also fixed an
'early day to take into consideration a method recom-
mended by him for getting the life-boat to and from
the sea with facility and ease, and for procuring such
part of an apparatus for the above purpose as they
have not got at present.
