These boats, which arc manufactured at Romsey, Hants, by a company formed for the purpose, are constructed on a principle which ensures great strength and buoyancy. The framework consists of a number of longitudinal segmental planes of the best Canadian rock elm. These are joined together at tho -tops of the stem and stern posts, and when the boat is collapsed they lie side by side. Over the web-llke skeleton skins of the stoutest oil canvas are disposed and attached in such a way as to form separate watertight compartments, the whole making an admirable lifeboat. Tho boat is collapsed in a few moments, and this is effected by taking away the seats, removing the stanchions which lock into them, and inverting the bottom of the boat. The air expelled from tho cells by the collapsing of the boat is drawn back by the bellows-like action of opening. The boats can be made in almost any size, some of those employed in the service of the Admiralty being 30 feet long by 10 feet broad, and capable of carrying 200 men. For fishb’g and shoo ing purp ses these boats are made about 7 feet by 3} feet, and when collapsed will lie in a space of 0 inches wide. Although a perfect lifeboat, the “Berthon” can be made ready for sea in less than a minute. For use in the colonies, such a boat as this is extremely us.ful. Picked up with the same ease as a portmanteau, it can bo as readily conveyed anywhere, and yet it Is a perfect lifeboat, and will live in the roughest sea. Messrs. Edmiston and Co., of Cockspnr-street. are the agents for the sale of these boats. —European Mail.
