"Advantages claimed for this hanger: To ship the rudder one liasonly 

 to enter tlie tongne (which lias the rudder alrea<ly attached) in the 

 grooved plate from the top just far enough to get it .steady, and then let 

 it down, when it will go to its jdai e without further care. Hence ari.ses 

 the first great advantage wliieli this lianger possesses over the (dd way, 

 vi?;, the ease and dis]>atcli with which the rudder can be shipped under 

 all circumstances. 



Every boatman knows the trouble lie has been to, at times, in trying 

 to ship his rudder, while iu a seaway, in the dark, or in mnddy waier, 

 when the eyes in the boat could not be seen ; often being obliged to 

 reach down with his hand to get the lower pintle entered. 



From the quickness with which the rudder can be shipped, iu any posi- 

 tion of the boat, and under any circumstances, and its •security when 

 .sliipped, it must recommend itself for all life-boat juirposes, where, in 

 case of an emergency, time is of vital importance. 



Another advantage is that with this hanger the rudder cannot of it.self 

 unshij) as has often been the case with the eomniou hanger, when the 

 boat h.ns been left for a short time and the tiller worked out, thereby 

 leaving the rudder free, Ity striking the liottoni or anything sudicient to 

 raise it three or four inches, to unhinge ami lloat away. As will reatlily 

 be .seen, this cannot get away until the rudder h.is risen tlie whole length 

 of the tongne, which, of if.s«df, won'd never h.ipiien. 



Again, with this hanger the rudder can be shii)ped and unshi|>])ed 

 while under fnll sail, thus making it very convenient for fishermen or
