The need "f some such device for propeling

tions under which the lives of the ship
wrecked are saved are considered. The
wrecked ship drives ashore in furious gale,
taking ground perhaps half Il mile from tho
beach whence the lfcboat must be launched,
and always too, if along the American ,uast

FOR THE LIFEBoAT.
AN ENGINE NEEDED TO DRIVE I
THROUGH THE SURF.

Perhaps Some Yankee Inventor May Sue.
coed Where British Ingenuity Has
Failed-Dangcrs of Succoring the Ship.
wrcchcl-Exhausted Men ut the Oars.
1t is not little discouraging to those inter-
cSted i'll maritime affairs, and particularly
to those interested in devices and schemes, for
saving the lives of the ShipwrcckcI, to read
that the efforts of committee appointed on
Oct. |. 1881, by the Royal National l.ifeboat
Institution of Great Britain, to obtain a plan
for proIelling n lifeboat by some other mean
than oars i'll the hands of its crew, had ell
tircly failed. In December. 1856. while Ell
deavorng to save the crew of vessel wrecked
on the coast of Lancashire, a lifeboat and her
crew were overwhelmed by the waves and
lost. The disaster was of the sort to rouse
the attention vi the entire British nation and
the Royal Lifehoat institute ut once set about
improving the lifeboats in service along the
British coasts.
Among other steps taken was the appoint
mcnt of n committee, consisting of Sir Fred
erick Bramwell, +, r. s.; Sir Dgby- Murray,
Bart. and Mr. John Thornycroft, all men
having special knowledge i'll the matter bt-
lore them, tn solicit drawings and models
from inventors and manufacturers of life
boats of some new craft to he propelled by
some power other than manual labor at the
oars; such, for instance, ns steam or clrc-
tricity. The committee were empowered to
offer gold and silver medals for the best of
these proposed devices, should any lc offered,
while the successful inventor would. of
course, have received n number of orders for
boats from the institution as soon us the
award was made. Entries closed on Oct l.,
at which time 50 many had been presented at
the rooms of the committee that it has taken
all the time of the committee for nearly four
months To complete their examination of the
devices. Sir Frederick Bramwell, who writes
the report says that no design worthy of a
silver medal, or even of special mention. was
found. The British inventor having failed,
perhap, some Yankee may now succeed.

By the holy shades ofAndrew Jack
I'm a-goin' ter wave 1t now.
It's lain aroun' for thirty year,
But she'll futter now, vow.
Then he. raised number thirteen foot
And dropped 1t on the floor.
The dishes ratified, the house cat spat,
The dog sneak ed out the door.
The good wife look ed her husband o'er
With keen. suspicious eye;
Then said: Now. Philo. what you had
Hard cider or old rye?"
"Pshaw neither, mother. Come right herr
And smell my BREATH" qouth he.
But Allan Thurman's goin tn be
Vice-President, you see;
And Pm a-goin tn sot thestyle
Around this town tu-day,
And swing my old bandanner
For Thurman. Hip, hooray!
"And every moss-back Democrat
That lives fur miles around,
Will have one fore the evenin',
Iftheres one tn be found;
For Allan Thurman is a name
That we old fellows love.
He's wiser than a sarpent
And harmless as a dove.
And we're a-goin ter 'lect him,
With old bandanners flynn;
He'll make some rascals pretty sick,
There aint no use denyin'.
Twill make them tumble quicker than
The peel of bannaner,
Ter see AL Thurman salin' in
Wavin his bandanner.
81 hain't felt so excited, now,
really don't know when.
No, faint hard cider, mother.
Ye needn't smell again;
But Allan Thurman's been my man
For forty years, L say.
And Pm a-goin' to raise the ruff.
Zip hip :! Hooray! hooray !
