SAUSALITO, Jan. IA simple de-

vessels has been invented by two local
mechanics, Charles E. Vroman and f.

contrivance will be of great service to
ship owners. The model is constructed
of copper in the shape of large spool.
1t measures two feet in length and the
circular ends are II inches in dame
ter The entire affair is hollow, with
compartments for ballast water and
also to contain papers.

sink the spool would float to the sur
