this; spread the handkerchief out on the
ground, and place the hat over II in the
centre, with the crown upwards, in the
ordinary position of wearing; then gather
up the four corners of the handkerchief
over the crown of the hat, giving it few
twists, for the greater convenience OF
grasping with the hand. The hat must
then be inverted (the crown downwards.)
In this position, it is confidently asserted,
any person may safely enter the water,
as the cavity of the hat contains much
greater quantity of air, than is requisite
to sustain any man. found that the hat
with which tried the experiment, would
almost support me and another person
clinging to me ;-neither of US making
the least effort to float by any motion OF
the hands and feet. The mode | should
adopt, however, in using the Life Pre-
server, would be, to give up the hand
kcrchief to the person whose life was In
danger, and Immediately to disengage
myself from him. He would soon dis
cover that he was buoyed up, and would
recover his presence of mind but whe-
Their he did or not, it would be of little
consequence, as long as he retained his
grasp of the handkerchief. Whilst he
was thus supported, nothing could be
more easy than to push him to the shore
with one hand, swimming with the other.
