Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lifeboats, Projectiles, and Other Means for Saving Life It will be seen on reading the following pages, that there is very little if any original matter contained therein. It is to be hoped however that the renewal of many old suggestions made by the writer, and others, may be productive of good, and be the means of calling the attention of those who manufacture laws, to the growing necessity for increased care in protecting the lives of those who go to sea. Whatever may be the award of the public in regard to this little work as a literary composition, the writer will rest content with having tried to mitigate the dangers of the sea, and will consider his time and money well spent, if through these means a single life shall be saved.
