They are easily and sately handled, hook on readily, and cannot be unhooked by accident. Boats so fitted hang by their tackles, and can always be kept ready for instantaneous lowering: or should anything happen in the act of lowering, can without delay be hoisted up again. Every seaman employed as part of a boats crew, who has tried the disengaging and the hecking on with these hooks, prefers them to amy other contrivance and in that preference I concur. (Signed) ROBERT SPENCER ROBINSON, Capt. Royal Navy, Commanding Steam Ordinary at Devonport. Plymouth, January 29th, 1859. We, the undersigned, being on board H.M. ship Doris on her trial trip outside the Breakwater, on the 2ith instant, witnessed the lowering and hoisting one of her quarter-boats, fitted with Capt. KYNASTONS Patent Slip-hooks. With a crew 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 afforded 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 accident 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. EDWIN PATEY, Captain R.N. O. CUMBERLAND, RD.
