or young Francis's attracted much atten-
ton at n fair. 1t was the beginning of a
series OF inventions which earned for Mr..
Francis the title Of Father OF the Life
saving Service"
He invented n portable boat that could
be taken apart. ard a method of build
ing boats over n frame or mould with
inch square strips OF cedar nailed edge TO
edpe, the joining showing neither nail
heads or seams and requiring no caulk-
ing. These boats. all Of which were life
boats, came into general use.
His greatest achievements were in the
construction of life saving appliances.
These consisted OF lite boats, life-cars
aud surf ~life-boats. or the life boats, the
first that he made was of wood. and was
called the Hydrogen life-boat. TIE in
terror was fitted with copper ATTITUDES,
and the invention proved successful.
As a result OF later experiments, the
use OF wood In the construction Of his
boats quickly gave way to iron, lthouy IN
the use Of iron in the manufacture of
vessels Of any kind was practically un-
known at shat time. To Mr.. Francis
may be conceded the first use of iron
floating vessels.
1t was In 1888 that Mr.. Francis con-
ceived the idea OF the life-car for use in
landing people from n wreck. His ex-
periments with iron resulted In one of
the most valuable inventions OF modern
times, that OF the c~orrugation OF metals
like sheet-iron, copper, etc. At his W
expense he carried his life-car to Squan
beach, N. j., in the autumn; Of
1S49. but 1t was not uatil Jan. IL, 1850.
that it was called into use. Then the
l~ife-car, operated by a crew Of inexpe-
rienced men, saved 200 persons fro IN the
British emiRrant ship Ayrshire. The
only life lost was that OF a man who in
sisted on riding outside the car when his
family was inside. In 1916 Mr.. Francis
invented a metallic life surf-boat, de-
signed for riding lightly on the widest
sea.
On August %, 1883, congress offered
him a gold medal, which as made at
the Philadelphia mint aud presented to
Mr.. Francis by President Harrison at
the White House on April IL, 1890. 1t
contained three pounds of solid gold and
was the largest media ever presented by
the government. Until recently for a
number OF years, Mr.. Francis made his
home in southern California
