FOR SOUTH AMERICA. 205 



[Rough draft.] 



" GENTLEMEN, " CAMBORNE, September 7th, 1813. 



" After writing to you on Sunday last, Mr. Uville re- 

 ceived letters from Cadiz, from the Spanish Government, 

 informing him that there was a line-of-battle ship there that 

 should take the engines to Lima. Now as this ship is detained 

 for this purpose, all possible dispatch must be made to get the 

 whole of the materials shipped as early as possible for Cadiz. 

 I am pushing the smiths as hard as possible, and you must 

 do the same at your works, that the greatest dispatch may 

 be made. I am ordered by Mr. Uville to request you to get 

 one water-engine, pumps, &c., complete, one winding engine, 

 winding apparatus, &c., complete, and one crushing apparatus, 

 complete, in addition to the former order. I wish you would 

 also get on as fast as possible with the new engine, but do not 

 let this engine prevent the getting forward the work for Lima. 



" I wish to have made apparatus to work expansively, and 

 also a temporary water-pump, to load the engine, so as to prove 

 its duty by the consumption of coal. 



" If the jobs are not completed by our arrival, you need not 

 expect any rest until its completion. Your answer will oblige, 



E. T." 



" MESSRS. HAZELDINE, RASTRICK, AKD Co." 



The money difficulty was for a time surmounted, 

 with a prospect of the completion and shipment of the 

 work for London within four months of the giving of 

 the order ; and the Spanish Government proposed that 

 a line-of-battle ship should take the engines to Lima 

 from Cadiz. An order was given for another pumping 

 engine and another winding engine, to be provided 

 with gear for working expansively, and a temporary 

 water-pump, that in case of need the amount of work 

 the engines could do with a given amount of coal might 

 be tested. A crushing machine, now called "quartz- 

 crusher," also formed part of this additional order.
