§ MR. LUTTRELLI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether the directions on the ship rocket apparatus are only in English and French; and, if this be the case, whether he will provide for the inclusion of directions in German and Spanish?
§ MR. MUNDELLAThe directions are only in English and French. The question of adding directions in other languages has boon considered, and experimental tally boards have been made; but the Board of Trade were advised that the necessary addition to the size of the tally board would more than counterbalance the advantage, as the board has to be hauled through the sea and has to meet with all kinds of obstructions from rocks, wreckage, &c. Germans and Spaniards are not the only foreign seamen besides French wrecked upon the coast of Great Britain.
