SUFFOLK. 
A life-boat, upon a new construction, was 
recently launched at Lowestoft. The wind 
was at the time about south-east, which con- 
tinued increasing while the boat was at sea, 
with heavy and incessant rain. After sailing 
in various directions, she reached the north 
end of Corton Sand, upon which the sea and 
surf ran very high. ‘The utility of the boat 
was eminently shewn in turning the whole 
length upon the sand without shipping any 
water. When she came off the sand, the 
plugs were taken up, and the water suffered 
Norfolk—Suffolk.

to rise as high as the air-casks, which were 
lashed within the boat, would allow. She 
then stretched under a press of sail, to Pack- 
‘field; the water with which her bottom was 
filled, did not appear to retard her progress« 
There were sixteen persons in the boat, in- 
cluding some gentlemen who had volunteered 
their services, Though all of them got over 
to the leeward side, and some of them stood 
on the gunwale, yet from their weight, the 
press of sail, and the plugs still open, her 
side was not depressed, nor did the water 
within increase. On her return near the 
shore, she was by means of buckets com- 
pletely filled with water; and the intention 
was, whilst in that state, that she should 
recelve aS many persons on board as was 
possible. On account of the sterminess of 
the day, no boat could go off from the 
beach, but four persons from another vessel , 
were taken in. It is calculated she would 
have carried fifty persons with safety, when 
quite full of water. In the melancholy cases 
which are frequently occurring on the coast, 
there is every reason to conclude, that by 
means of this invention, many lives will now 
be saved, which would otherwise be lost. 
The seamen, too, will be enabled to render 
their assistance, on occasions when vessels are 
exposed to the greatest difficulties and danger, 
with a confidence and security to which they 
have been unaccustomed. The boat has an 
iron keel, which serves her for ballast, with 
a contrivance of casks, placed at her bottom, 
to be filled with water when necessary to. 
increase her ballast. Other air casks, for 
the purpose of buoyancy, and to prevent 
her sinking although filled with water, are 
fixed round her inside. She has also projecting 
gunwales, with concealed air boxes, and 
cased with cork.
