COLLINS^ CAPTAIN J. W., Gloucester, Massachusetts. Drawings of 

 fishing scenery (see also under Elliott). Charts of the fishing grounds. Collins' improved 

 adjustable marine drag. (6.) Collins* patent fog alarm. (6.) This invention consists of an 

 upright cylindrical bellows of stout grain leather, supported by and working upon three brass 

 rods, which are fastened at the lower ends to a strong wooden pedestal, and the upper ends of 

 which are secured by means of screw caps to a wooden top, to which also is attached the upper 

 part of the bellows. This wooden top or cap-piece is surmounted by a brass cone, having a 

 hole in its apex, into which is screwed a reed horn. The bellows is collapsed or distended 

 by means of an iron lever working on a hinge attached to the wooden base. By moving this 

 lever the air in the bellows is driven with great force through the horn at the top. A very 

 heavy sound is obtained when a large horn is used, while a small horn can be blown to its 

 fullest capacity with very slight exertion on the part of the operator. Dimensions : Diameter 

 of base, 2 feet; thickness, 4 inches ; diameter of wooden top, 19 inches ; thickness, 1J inches ; 

 diameter of bellows (No. 56,955), 15 inches ; height, 20 inches ; height of brass cone, 6| inches ; 

 diameter of cone (at base), 9 inches ; thickness of brass rods, f of an inch ; length of lever, 4 

 feet. This implement was originally designed for use on fishing vessels, especially such as are 

 employed in the line-trawl fishery. In the latter fishery the men go out in dories long dis- 

 tances (one to three miles) from the schooners that are lying at anchor, and the prevalence of 

 dense fogs in summer, and snow in winter, causes the loss of many fishermen, who go astray 

 because they are unable to hear the horns which are ordinarily employed. The advantages of 

 this fog alarm are that it can be heard farther than any horn now in use on sailing vessels 

 (this having been proved by actual test at sea) ; that the material of which it is made, and 

 the simplicity of its construction, render it less liable to get out of repair than other patent 

 horns ; that it may be at all times operated with comparatively slight physical exertion, and 

 without any of the exhaustion that results from blowing a horn with the mouth ; and finally, 

 that it is adapted for use on all kinds and classes of vessels. Model of ideal fishing schooner.
