 mostly conveniently and safely carried in a leather 

 case, slung over the shoulder. A few simple carpen-

 a few nails, will often be found of great value. Among 

 other miscellanea are balls of twine of different sizes,

 apparatus for instantaneous light, which last will

 tinder, but we have ourselves found the matches 

 made by R Bell, 1 6, Basing-lane, or by Bell and Black, 

 15, Bow-lane, Cheapside, London, and which appear 

 to be tipped with a composition containing chlorate 

 of potassa, to resist damp well, and to be fit for ser- 

 vice lon^ after all other forms of Conereves and Lu- 

 cifers had become quite useless.
