■J' 6 THE MARINF/ RECORD. "* JOHN ERIC8SON.' New York, August 4. Editor of the Marine Record, u ■ l DEin Bin—On the lastdn/of June, eighty- onn years ngo,: tliero come Into the world nmortg tho mouiititlna artel valleysof Swollen, n child who was christened John. Ericsson, That name tins long slnee become known throughout the entire civilized world, find Inst week wo lind the ploiuure of again con- grntulatlnn the vfcternnliive'ntorof the scrow propeller Monitor, and recently, that drend- ful marine wnr engine, the torpedo bont tie- Btrojer, which la now absolutely perfect nnd complete. Though a Scandinavian by birth, thla remarkable mnn la endowed With .till the Ingenuity and enterprise wlibh Is die chief characteristic of a born Yankee, and even four score years have not been heavy enough to bend his Indomitable energy and perse¬ verance. In fact, the older he grows the younger his IdeiiB seem to-be. Not content with the lauiela he lias already won Irom land and sea, be must needs go to the ekj lor a new problem to solve. And that he hasrthe solution, of even this, may be proved by a vltit to -his back yard, where he has harnessed the sun to do tlio wind's work on a warm and calm day. Here the writer saw his latebt engineering-triumph, 'a solar mo¬ tor, pumping water in place of a wind mill or a steam engine., He still clings to the modest dwelling, No. 30 Beach street, oppo¬ site the great freight depot of the Hudson River Railroad, In this city, the same house in which he has lived for the past twenty years. His wonderful caloric engine Is manulacuired by the Delamatcr Iron Works In such numbers tint it would stem no other machine could do the same work so well and cheaply as his; and now the crowning glory of his long life 6eems to be the sun en¬ gine, which Is Intended for use mostly In tropical countries, where coal 1b dear and wind for mills scarce and uncertain; also tor ihc--beueiit_ol Bulling vessels, which may utilize this power for running their pumps, and also for storing up electricity by day to illuminate their Bide lamps In the ulghi watched G. FobTKii Howell. DANIEL COOK. To the Editor of the Marine Hicord: This brave mnn, who met his death In his etlorts to save life, deserves a monument. .Mr. Cook, of Toionto, steward of the pro¬ peller Argyle, was a pnsienger on the Al¬ berta at tho time of the-collision with the eteambarge J. M. Osborne, and with the in¬ trepidity"and coolues« of a born hero suc¬ ceeded in saving the lives ot Captain Wll- ford's ih'ree children and a lady, a friend ot Captain Wlltord's family, who was taking a pleasure trip on bomd, the steanibarge. Captain Wllford, his wile and three ot the crew ef the Osborne got aboard of the Al¬ berta, as the latter swung around, by jump¬ ing Into an open gangway, bill they left on board a lady and the captain's three children, two of whom are mere Infants. When the mother found they were still on board the fast-sinking vessel her lepra and entreaties lor their reBcire were agonizing, and moved Mr. Cook to their rescue. After having placed them safely aboard the Ajtyerta he returned to assist others who might be In the water, and In order to save the second engineer of the Osborne, who. was Blnking beneath the surface for the last lime, he .lived after him. Bringing Jiioi up, he found that the poor fellow was scalded almost to death, and unable to lend him any assistance. He bravely held him up, however, and tried to reach the bout which he had just tleovrtetl, but the cold water of Luke Superior and his previous exertions had told on his strength, and before he could rencli (he bout he sank out of light, still clinging to the man whnve life he tried to save by sacrificing his own." D. W. Burroughs of Benzonln this, (Benzie) county, claims that In 1833 he was mate of schooner ot G. S. Willis, (10 tons bur¬ den, and during the summer took on board, off the beach at Ashtabula', Ohio, a cargo of whltewood lumber which they uulouded In rafts on the beach at Milwaukee. _He claims that It was the first lumber ever'brought to that olty. . Sylvester Beckwlth now living near Forest City, Mich., was In command o( the schooner at the time. If there l» any craft that has a prior claim, let them now speak, or forever let tho Willis have the laurels so justly earned. ' Tho Rov. Peter Daugliorfi'! and throo others In a Macklrmw bont, In May 1809, Is the first reoord .of any craft In Grand Traverse bay, nnd on June 20th, sauio year H. R. Schoolcraft' of Mackinaw arrived In the bay on a small vessel, name unknown. Tho first cargo shipped from Tra verse City td'Chlcugo was timber In schooner Mnrlu Hllllard In 1852. HOWELL'S AUTOMATIC WAVE-LU BRICATING LIFE-BUOY. - Tho drcndlul loss ot life at aoa which takes place'year after year hat lately stirred up the maritime community to devise means and ways for at least decreasing. If not altogether preventing, this dreadful slaugh¬ ter which has gone on so lilng.- A-rnqog those who have made the subject a special study, was G. Foster Howell, who hairdevised and perfected a selt-acting ring life-buoy, which easts oil upon the troubled Son, and makesa smooth circle, the size of Barnum circus ring, the mordent It touched the water. This pacific oil pond stands out clear and plain In the midst of the boiling nnd raging sea which beats all around, a,nd proves a liar bor of refuge for the unfortunate catlbr who tins fallen overboard. It Is to hlin what an oasis Is to tho faint and weary, traveler, In the midst ol u burning desert scorched underfoot by the hented sand And overhead by the blnz ing sun. The most Important feature of this Invention Is that a man may be. seen, or, ather, the smooth patch of water where he Is, may be kept In sight by those on board bis vessel, even though she has run a couple ot mile?, away before being brought up Into the wind and hove to. Many men are drowned after falling over¬ board because the people on rfle ship lose sight of them before a boat can ye lowered, but this simple and Ingenious debtee proves an antidote to the turmoil going on all around, and provides an artificial mill pond, so to speak, where the mariner may float In salety until he is picked up. This effective apparatus will only add about three dollars more to the cost of tho ring buoy, and It ought to be adopted by every yachtsman, fisherman, and ship and steamer afloat.
