Abstract
WE regret to announce the death on January 4, at the age of eighty-two years, of Mr. Henry Albert Fleuss. He was one of the pioneers of rescue apparatus. After serving in the mercantile service for many years, he left it about 1879, in order to make a pipeless diving apparatus. He designed a suitable pump for compressing oxygen and made his first test in a tank at the old Polytechnic in Regent St., London. Without any previous experience of diving, he remained under water for one hour, which at that time was an amazing performance.
