Indeed, it is said that he tried at one time to do altogether without sleep and that after three days' and nights' experiment 28 he was near falling into the liquid iron, and would have done so but that a man rushed forward and saved him. Wilkinson Made Gas. Wilkinson was upon the eve of making a very important discovery — that of making gas. He was, it is said, the first to coke coal in closed ovens for the purpose of extracting an oil ; a process Lord Dundonald afterwards carried on at the Ca...lcutts, near to Wilkinson's works, but whether he or Lord Dundonald was the originator we cannot say. At that time young Cochrane, afterwards Earl Dundonald (the last of our great sea-kings), was a mere stripling, studying chem- istry under his uncle, we believe, at the Tuckies, near the Severn ; and it was from such know- ledge here gleaned that he propounded to the Government of the day his plan for destroying the Russian stronghold.
