In saving people far out az sea. Il will

The wind Is usually blowing shore

for this reason II would be- almost Inn
possible TO force the boat, hampered by
the balloon, 10 the assistance OF a

In recent test made IN the Connec.

shown that. even with the boat filled

Ing power Of the balloon prevented the
craft from either sinking or upsottlng
The boat was constructed under Mr..
Rlley's direction, and Is sixteen feet IN
length. Cylinders nllcd with com
pressed gas were placed In compart-
mems, and from these the balloon,
which was haruessed with cords 10 a
hollow mast connected with the cylin-
dcrs. was inflated. The mast, which Is
~ gas pipe. Is adjustable. aud when
turned forward the big balloon acted
as sail oars proving quite unneccs-

he could pump the gas from the bal.

the gas was then burned as a beacon
light, which could be seen for many
miles around. With this and n renec-

would le certain 90 attract the atten.
