LIFE PRESERVING DRESS.


We were yesterday afternoon invited, by the
Inventor of the Life Preserving Dress to attend an
exhibition in Buuermilk Channel. The wind blew
strong, and the was rough, which afforded those
present good opportunity to examine The utility
of this dress of shIpwreck Tx inventor
himself, who is unable to SWIM put on his buoyant
small clothes and jacket in the presence of several
gentlemen. and committed himself iearessly TO the
waves, in which he remained for above an hour APP
without the least struggle, and wholly
uDconcerned-and this loo in sea that kept con-
stantly washing over our boat. The buoyancy of
the dress kept his body. from his chest upwards,
above the water, whilst his arms and legs were az
perfect liberty. We narrowly watched his situation,
and were highly pleased at the and safety with
which he rode the waves, drifting with rapid cur
rent for upwards of two miles. The inventor has
also prepared dtess for coloured man which,
with addition to the he wore himself, ena-
bled him 10 remain with his body above the water
from the waist, and the two hoated together, con-
versing with each other with as much sang troiG
as though they had had firm footing on terra
.frma. II is our opinion, that this dress, with some
trifling improvement, may be rendered means OF
safety to the shipwrecked mariner in many sua-
ons in which he may unfortunately be placed and
Jas such it entitled to respectful consideration
from the public.
We understand that the inventor will give a pub
lio exhibition to the citizens in few days when
the community at large will be enabled to Judge of
tits utility, and have no hesitation in stating they
will BE- highly grat6ed This dress has no connexe
ion with the Life Preserving Mattresses.-U .1dss

Eleanor Smith, fifteen years Of age, threw up
