Lifräddningshakar. Kapten Kynastons Lifråddningshakar, afsedda för ögonblickligt lösgörande af större eller mindre skeppsbåtar och antagna till bruk vid Engelska Flottan samt på Engelska ångare och segeliartyg. Order på sådana hakar. passande för en belastning af från 96 centner till 12 centner och derunder, emottagas och expedieras af undertboknad . PNavpksnas agent. Stockholm i Maj 1865. EDVARD SOHEUTZ Tyska Prestgatan N:o 52. Intyg. . I have tried Captain KYNASTONS disengaging hooks, as applied to boats tackles, under a great variety of circumstances, in large and smailships, under weigh and at anchor, in smooth water and in a sea way, and I have always found the hooks disengage instantly. They are easily and safely handled, hook on readily, and cannot be unhooked by accident. Boats 80 fitted hang by their tackles, and can always be kept ready for instantaneous lowering: or should anything happen in the act ot lowering. can without delay be hoisted up again. Every seaman employed as part of a boats crew, who has tried the disengaging and the hooking on with these hooks, prefers them to amy other contrivance and in that preference I concur. (Sigmed) ROBERT SPENCER ROBINSON, Capt. Royal Navy, Commanding Steam Ordinary at Devonport. Devonport, Nov. 2nd, 1858. Plymouth, January 29th, 1859. We, the undersigned, being on board H M. ship Doris on her trial trip outside the Breakwater, on the 24:h instant, witnessed ihe lowering and hoisting one of her quarter-boats, fitted with Capt. KYNASTONS Patent Slip-hooks. With a ciew of thirteen men, the boat was frequently lowered and disengaged at a speed of eleven knots and downwards, as well as at a dead stop, These varied trials aiforded us ample opportunity of judging of the efficacy of this admirable mode of disengaging ships boats at sea; demonstrafing safe and instantaneous detaching, — ease and readiness in hooking on for boisting, with perfect security against aecident of becoming unhooked, — and constant preparedness for hoisting at all periods of lowering. During these experiments there was a fresh breeze, and much swell remaining from the previous days gale. (Signed) JOHN KINGCOME, Rear Admiral. G. EDWIxs PATEY, Captain R.N.
