8. The combination'with a tubular casing in a Wellbore through which gas, under pressure mayescape' from saidbore, a fluid pres sure line 'entering' the casing, asnufler valve movable into'activ'e position to block said casing and into inactive position to permit the free flow of asthrough said casing, re leasable latch means normally'holdingsaidvalve'in inactiveposition, and including a member. disposed" to be actuated by fluid flowing'thr'oug'h-s'aid line to effect the release of said latch, and a spring effective to actuate said valve, when so released, into'the' path of the escaping gas, whereby saidvalve' is moved into said active position.
4. The combinationwith'a-pipe'in awn-- bore through whichfluid under pressure may escape from said bore, a fluid pressure line entering said pipe,;asw1ngable valve movable into active, or closed; position to" close saidpipe to prevent theescape "of said fluid fromthe' wall and movable into inac tive, or opem'positiontopermit the escape of Saidfluid. from the well, latch means'ree leas'able through the action ofthe fluid flow ing through said line and normally-adapted to hold said: valve in inactive, or open, posi tion and said valvejbeing so disposed as to be actuated into closed position by the fluid escaping through said pipe, when said means are: released.
