THE MARINE RECORD. THE sCIENYIFIC PRINCIPLES OF SAFETY. Lockport, June 80. To the Editor of the Marine Record: Your editorial comments on my article in the May number of the American Aquatic Magazine, are to the point, but do not cover the whole ground, as the inference may be drawn, that it would cost more to build from scientific principles of safety, that it costs to build others as now used; or, in other words, that it would call fora sacrifice to add safety. But such is not the ease. Science is the fountain head of safety and economy, Which is proved by all Jubor sav- ing machines, the works of science. ‘The sufetv ship will be one of the highest order, and be posessed of the greatest degree of economy, ever inaship. In favt one halt of the power now used for propulsion will give ayreater degree of speed. ‘The principles to do this work will be found in the columns of the 1uture numbers o1 the American Aquatic Magazine, begining with the August number. ‘lhe question now is, what is the kindof work called for? The loss of the Can- adian brig Sherwood, reported a short time ago, throws much light on this subject. She went down in mid ocean, only one survivor. It is conceded or claimed that this disaster was caused from lack of stability. I quote from anarticle in the New York Herald «Professor Elgar, of the,London!Institution of Nava) Architecture, recently stated that evidence at the board of trade inquiries into shipwrecks, is constantly pointing to in- stability as cause of loss.” As vessels are now built and formed, how is stability attained ? 'There.is no point better known by nautical men than that it is attained by ballast, loading ‘Vhis brig was loaded with coal, good ballast, und must have bad ali the stability possible to give her. ‘The cause of the disaster must be jooked tor from some other cause, as it is stated that she did not capsize. ‘The fact is clearly pointed out that she had encountered asevere gale, as thousands of others have done, and had become unmanageable, a CUYAHOGA WORKS, HEAVY MACHINERY.

HINGSTON & SON, Boat Builders, Steam and Sail Yachts, Hunting, Fishing and Pleasure Boats, Shell Boats, Spoon Oars, least, her stability would have been of no account, created ag it was by counterpoise. '‘T’wo more helpless things than an un- manageable ship and rolling waves do not exist. The wave has no control over its own motion; it must roll onward by the power that impels it, and is driven on to its _ own destruction when itmeets any thing that it can not resist; an unmanageable ship, as now formed, can not resist the motion ot the wave. -But science gives the safety ship a torm to meet the motion of the wave and subdues or quiets it. Also powers to help herself under all circumstances against the motion of the waves. Her power of motion will be steam, and auxiliary sail. Her power for protection will be rightly located buoy- ancy, and stability, not derived from coun- terpoise. In fact her stability will be at its aeme when she has no load, as it is derived from buoyancy only. A glance at the Sher- wood’s torm will make this clear. As she sane from the bands of the builder light and buoyant she had no stability. To give her stubility she must be ballasted, loaded; this must beat her bottom; in doing it a portion ot her buoyancy has been destroyed, driven up through her hatches, and when loaded with an eye to stability, she then has no buoyancy below the surface of the water, none that rough water can act upon to keep her sate; in fact itcan only reach it at her full extremities above water, and in doing so causes her buoyancy to be the agent of her destruction. Such was the condition of the Sherwocd, a helpless mass in the troughs of the waves. ‘he satety ship is on principles the direct. opposite of the Sherwood, her buoyancy is such as tu remain it tact at all timer, loaded or light, and is beneath the surtace, and above it in position to always meet all motions of the waves, in safety, and the wave can never mount it, vor strain it. In fact she is clothed with buoyancy. Her form is such that the wave can not come against her asit does against: a rock, or the side of a ship. On the contrary, as it reaches the ship she gently disposes of it and cuts off its crown, with her uonder water plongh of buoyar cy, and her above water wings of buoyancy cause it to recede from her to the hollows of the waves; or, in other words, to its level. This is now no longer a iyth to be talked about, no longer a mooted question; science has now settled it practi- cally, and aship can now be built inde- structible against the forces of nature, And in point of cost lesa than ships as now built cost, and be run at greatly reduced cost, from what they now are ran. In them will be found the acme of speed with equal power, and equal displacement.
