as every practical sailor knows, must carry a certain amount of risk, as it involves the control by the human element. To lower a boat loaded with its full comple- ment into the water with rope falls from a possible height of 50 to 70 feet is a vastly different oce frem, say, 10 to 15 feet as in days gone by. Rope falls and lower- ing by hand can only be looked on as saares, and it is time the Government department having the control of these matters woke up to this continued danger to life. For same timepast there have been excellent mechanicaldevices in the shape of davits and falls. any of which may be considered far more reliable for handling boats than the old-fashioned style. A
davit mechanical which has been in use for some time past is the Smith's automatic davit. With this appliance the largest lifeboat, with her complete complement, can be lowered into the water in less than a minute, and this can he done by one man, and he in the boat at the time of larwering. thereby being in, the best position to know the most advantageous moment when his boat
the can with Kreatest safety take the water. This operation is carried out by a line being attached to the brake for lowering, which is led through a block and attached to the boat to be controlled by the Smith's davit is one in charge. worked on the quadrant principle, and when the boat is released from its chocks the weight of the boat carries the davit heads out. "well over the ship's side and the boat can be at once lowered by the powerful brake to which the falls, consisting of a double wire from each davit head, are attach- ed. Everything in connection with this davit " is the most simple character and construction. A powerful winch is fixed midway between the two davits around the barrel of which are wound the wire falls, one being led to the forward and the other to the after davit being worked in unison either for lower- ing or hoisting. When the boat is being hoisted, as soon as she touches the davit heads, these at once are raised by the same action until they are in their upright position, when by the movement of. a lever under the chocks the. boat is clamped on gunwales and keel automatically, and no further securing is requisite.
