sentry as the inventor happily calls it,
Briefly described by Jcrrold Kelley, in
Harpcr's Weekly, it consists of an in
vertcd wooden kite, which can
be trailcd from the stern of n YES
sci at any required depth down to
forty-iivc fathoms. 1t is sluns by II
span-a triangle of wirc-and is towed
by thin steel line which has Il tcnac-
ity of one hundred and twcnty-nine tons
to Il square inch of section. From the
forward lower end of the kite Il trigger
desccnds. This is functioncd by 81
spring working in Il slotway, and ir
such manner that when the bottom is
struck the trigger releases the span and
allows the kite to capsiZc, and, by it's
buoyancy, to rise instantly to the sur
face. What is more, at the instant of
striking the tension of the wire is so re-
Taxed that the reel holding it flies back
and strikes Il signal gong attached to
the lnboard winch which governs the
action of the machine. But besides this
quick warning of danger it gives the
depth attained upon dial attached to
the winch, and thus, within certain linn
its, affords an approximate estimate of
the distance off shore.
1T is not proposed to employ the ma
chine with speeds greater than thirteen
