THE BEEECHES BUOY.
An Excellent Device for Rescuing
the Shipwrecked.
THm Appliance is of Great Help to the
Darlog Life Savers of the New Jersey
Coast How It la Sent to
Sinking; Ships.
The sturdy surfmen of Long Beach,
as they call the ribbon of sand south of
Barnegat inlet separating the waters of
the bay and the ocean, have made two
gallant rescues in the past week with
the Lyle gun and the breeches buoy.
The opportunity to use these appli
ances is always welcomed, says the New
York Sun, because it means a fight with
the elements that stirs the blood and
strains the muscle. Whenever the
news that a ship is ashore is
telephoned from station to station
over the beach wires every surfman
within twenty miles says envious things
about the lucky patrolmen who are
called out to make the rescue. The ordi
nary routine of the beach patrol is full
- of hardship and monotonous in the ex
treme. A daring rescue makes talk for
the rest of the winter.
Considering the number of vessels
which have to pass it, the New Jersey
coast is the most dangerous on the con
tinent, and many ships go ashore on
the shelving sands there every winter.
Ninety-nine times out of a hundred,
however, the surf will admit the
launching of lifeboats, and the surf
men bring ashore the shipwrecked in
this way. It is only when a great
storm is raging and the surf is so rough
ns to baffle the skillful oarsmen that
the gun and breeches buoy are resorted
to. This does not happen very often.
When the patrol sees a vessel aground
or in danger he hurries to the station
and gives the alarm. The surfmen are
out in a jiffy. They always take all
their apparatus, so as to be ready for
any emergency. If the lifeboat cannot
be launched through the surf, they
bring out the Lyle gun. This is a small
brass cannon, which has a projectile fit
ting over the barrel like a sheath over a
a sword. To the projectile is fastened
one end of a stout cord. The gun is
aimed to throw the projectile over the
ship, and thus bring the cord within the
reach of the men on the wreck. It sel
dom requires more than two shots to
land the cord. The sailors then pull it
in and get hold of the rope to which it
is fastened. When the end of the rope
is hauled aboard it. is made fast to one
of the masts. Meantime the surfmen
are burying a sand anchor. This is a
great square of planking, whose sur
face grips the sand in which it is sunk.
To it the shore end of the rope is se
curely fastened.
Then comes the breeches buoy. This
consists of a great ungainly pair of
canvas trousers hung to a circular life
IN THE BREECHES BUOY.
preserver. It is suspended bv stout
ropes from a pulley, which the surfmen
quickly rig upon the rope connecting
ship and chore in such a way that it
moves freely back and forth A guy
line, one end of which was sent aboard
the ship with the rope, is now fastened
to the breeches buoy, and the surfmen
pull on a line which starts the breeches
buoy traveling seaward. As soon as it
reaches the ship one of the shipwrecked
gets into the pair of canvas breeches,
sticking a leg through each capacious
hole, and grasping the life preserver,
which comes just under his armpits.
He does not need to be tied in, for his
seat is secure.
All being ready, the surfmen ashore
begin to haul in. The breeches, buoy
rolls rapidly shoreward, suspended from
its hempen track. For most of the dis
tance the man in the breeches is dang
ling above the water. When he reaches
the surf, though, lie is bound to get a
ducking. Ho holds his breath, takes a
fresh hold on the life preserver, and in
he goes. The next minute he is on the
beach, where a dozen strong hands
reach out to pluck him out of his can
vas breeches. The buoy is sent straight
hack for another, and so on until all
are rescued. A dozen men have been
brought ashore In this way by a single
breeches buoy in less than an hour.
It sometimes happens that a woman
is aboard the ship. She may be the
captain's wife. If the ship is a steamer,
there may be women passengers. The
idea of getting into this pair of canvas
breeches may be repugnant to a woman,
but she does not hesitate a second. Pull
ing her dress up around her, in she
steps as unhesitatingly as though she
were born to trousers. All she asks at
that moment is to get ashore.
There have been many devices for
Tescuing the shipwrecked, including
the life car with which the stations on
our coast are provided, but no other
appliance is of such tried utility as the
breeches buoy.
MEDICAL SCIENCE.
The average weight of the Chinese
brain is said to be heavier than the
average weight of the brain in any
other race.
A British scientist recently stated
that if a man weighing one hundred
and forty pounds were placed under a
hydraulic press and squeezed flat, the
result would be one hundred and five
pounds of water and thirty-five pounds
of dry residue.
Recent studies of cancer not only in
dicate that it is an organic growth, but
almost certainly prove that it is itself
liable to the attack of another parasite.
Better acquaintance with the relations
of these parasites may possibly bring
the long-sought method of arresting
cancer.
Dr. Francis Dowljng, of Cincinnati,
has published the result of his examina
tion into the effect of tobacco chewing
on the eyes. The experiments covered
three thousand eases, and showed that
ninety-five per cent, suffered with vis
ual troubles, and nearly as many ex
hibited muscular deterioration.
Persons who are subject to attacks of
bilious colic can almost invariably tell,
by their feelings, when to expect an at
tack. If Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy is taken as soon
as these symptoms appear, they can
ward off the disease. Such persons
should always keep the Remedy at hand,
ready for immediate use when needed.
Two or three doses of it at the right
time will save them much suffering.
