lives Of all OIL board. -.
This invention has been exhibited to men OF
the most consummate nautical sktt and SCI
ence, and to individuals of the highest standing
in our country--who have uniformly and une.
quivocally expressed their entire CONVICTION OF
It's utility. IL has been paien,ed; and although
the improvement is quite recent, II has oerh
adopted with avidity by every ship owner who
has taken the pains fully 10 attest is advantage
es. For the satisfaction OF persons feeling an
interest in The safety Of navigation, aud IN the
preservation Of human life, several experiments
have lately been tried with the Wind Pump,
on board a vessel at Rowe's wharf in this har>
bour. The machine, which combines strength
with simplicity, is SD constructed that 1t VIII
operate with little or No assistance from human
hands. The upper p%or'ion,t TO which the vanes
are affixed, being movable, is only 10 be turned
towards the wind, when the operation proceeds
with a force truly astonishing, d~ischarging a
constant volnme of water from both pumps, at
the rate of 1000 gallons per hour.
The vessel upon which the above trials were
made, was a brig Of about 80 tons. \ hole
TWO inches iu diameter was bored through her
bottom, into which the water was suffered to
flow to the depth of eighteen inches, when The
process Of p.mping was commenced, the APP
er:ure sill remaining open: In so minutes The
vessel was freed, the pumps being entirely
drained. The inventor has also contrived a
wheel; which, with very litt'e manual e%xfrtion,
may be applied with great effect 10 the appara.
tus in Case Of a calm, or Of accident to the
! shafts of the vanes. The whole machinery Is
portable, and may be easily separated and stow
ed away-the very largest occupying a space
Of not more than six feet in length by two or
three deep. The cost is comparatively SO ill.,
considerable, that no ship owner who expends
one or two hundred dollars upon external de-
coratIons, can plead economy in palliatiou of
his neglect TO provide a wind pump: nor can
any man concerned in commerce, duly regard
inc The value Of life, if not Of property, at stake,

possible occasion.
