IT BAILSITSELF
ANDCAN'T SINK
McCotter's New Lifeboat Also
Pours Oil on Troubled
Waters.

Charles r. McCotter, rusty-haired
tugboat captain from Jacksonville,
Fla, and eight of his assistants,
chosen from the water front, have
been giving an exhibition of capsizing
and life-saving in a self bailing and
non-sinkable lifeboat. The tests were
made at Battery Park. The boat has
been approved by the board of super
Vising inspectors at Washington, and
recommended by E. F. Sweet, acting
SECRETARY of commerce. Steamboat
men say it is probable that. with va
riations, the craft will supersede
types now in use.
The boat is only thirteen feet long
and carries eight persons. When
capsized and acting like raft, it can
support twice that number after a
fashion. The new feature is an auto
matte bailing device, which rids the
boat of water when flooded. Brass
plugs are unscrewed and the position
of the alright compartments allows
the water to flow out. The alright
compartments are small, triangular,
and nested together in such a way
that if a blow strikes one of the com
partments it will glance off to the
other at an angle of 40 degrees.
Therefore, its inventor claims, and the
government inspectors believe, it is
practically indestructible.
AT the stem is copper oil tank,
holding ten gallons of oil, which feeds
through a pipe into the cockpit and
thence, through three strainers, into
the sea. As less than a gallon of oil,
according to the 4 experience of sea-
faring men, will smooth 100 feet OF
the toughest sea, it is calculated that
Captain McCotter's boat can cut it's
own lane for a long distance after
shipwreck in any kind of weather
