TO GIVE WARNING OF PERIL.

Machine That VIII Instantly Indicate
shoal Water on Fast Ships.
The sea-faring man who was brought up
to sound for the depth of water by means
Of the lead and line found in the COM
pact sounding machine invented by Sir
William Thompson something that struck
him at once as being almost perfec-
ton and as filling most pressing
and long-felt want. By its use the work
that required almost all of the men of the
watch on deck to accomplish is done by
three men, and a still greater advantage is
to be found in the fact that it is no longer
necessary to stop a vessels Roadway
until al "up and down" cast is had and
the line pulled in greater proportion of the
distance run out. To be sure, the twenty
knot ships do sometimes slow down to six
teen knots in order to lessen the danger to
those who manage the machine, the wheel
of which flies around with such velocity
that should anything unusual occur there
would probably be very serious accident.
Accurate and efficient rs the little machine
is. it does not afford a continuous indica-
ton of depths, and in these days of high
speed the intervals between two successive
casts may be just the margin between safe
ty and danger. A new sounding machine
