Devonport 1831 Monday November 21st protects the vessel from any bad consequences. This plan consists in having plates of Copper folding over each other, let in in the masts yards so connected to the water beneath. — The principle, from which these advantages are derived, owes its utility, to the fact that the Electric fluid is weakened by being transmitted over a large surface to such an extent that no effects are perceived, even when the mast is struck by the lightning: — The Beagle is
