bottom of the sea where ship Of the Spanish
Armada sank an implement of such excellence and
SO superior to similar articles of day manu-
facture to be quite worthy Of patenting Such
is the case with pair OF compasses brought up
from the bottom of Tobermory Bay With COM

have to be pulled apart These Armada compasses
may be adjusted by the forefnger and thumb Of
one hand Just below the hinge is sort Of split
ring This is revolved to the left to the
compasses and to the right to close them They
have already been patented. and a few copies OF
the original pair have been made.
