T. Folkard. W. Parker. His G. X Smith. Mark. S. Capps. J. Cunningham. R. Titlow. J. Titlow. J. Stebbens, Jun. Directions for getting a Boat- from the Beach by the proposed and approved Method. The royal mortar being brought to the spot, is to be pointed in the direction for the buoy, and should be laid at a very low elevation, but such as to insure 72 the range; for the more it is depressed, the less slack of rope there will be from the parabola formed in the shot's flight; the basket with the ...rope ready laid (having a barbed shot to it) is to be placed in the front of the mortar; on its being fired, instantly haul the slack of the rope in, to prevent the effect produced on it by a strong tide. Which being done, let the re- mainder be gently hauled in to insure the shot's grappling with the great rope ; when that is caught and hooked, a power will be acquired fully adequate to the service. As a cast iron anchor appears particularly adapted to this method, and would be much cheaper than hammered, the following is a plan of one, which the Honourable the Navy Board approved and allowed me 73 to cast at their expense, for the purpose of making the experiments.
