130 Telescope also filled and connect with the hold of the vessel. When the grain or other cargo settles under the movements of the boat, this material will flow more or less out of the small turrets, so that the hold will always be kept entirely full. In this way the possibility of the cargo shifting is done away with. In the case of a vessel for carrying oil...which expands under the effect of heat, the small turrets...will allow for any expansion of the oil. Ho. 408,081. A. MoDOUGALL. A. McDOUGALL. STEAM PASSENGER BOAT. No. 500,411. Patented June 27, 1803. The principal object of the invention is to provide a passenger vessel having large, commodious and airy cabins; which will be very speedy under steam; and which will be practically unsinkable. I am aware that it is not new to provide a vessel with both longitudinal and cross bulkheads, but these bulkheads have heretofore extended only from the bottom of the vessel to a point near the water line, so that if the vessel is damaged so as to fill at one side, or in case of a collision it is rolled a considerable distance to one side, the water will be allowed to flow over the top of the vessel and into the hull. By providing [my] hull with bulkheads which extend directly from the top to the bottom of the vessel, no water will be allowed to enter the vessel, in case it is thrown out of its equilibrium. It will be evident that by mounting the cabins on turrets as I have described, they will be free from all odors of bilge water, oil, machinery, cooking, etc., and will always be cool and airy. a.

My present invention relates to a certain improvement in the barges and steamboats invented by me.,. by which I am enabled to dispense with the ordinary hawse-pipes,.,. and wherein there will be less possibility of the anchor chains being caught and retarded by ice and dirt, as is now the case. The present invention consists generally of a combined hawser and an- a. McDougall. HAWSER AND ANCHOR CHAIN FAIR DEADER. No. 512,209. Patented Jan. 2, 1891.
