THE MARINE REVIEW rest on an even keel at the designed draft of 14 feet. This gave a reasonable assurance that no serious errors had been made in the calculations and that unless considerable differences be- tween the plans and the ship had been made that the actual turning of the ship could be safely undertaken. In the after section, the ship’s ballast pumps were connected up so as to take water through the permanent sea cocks, and discharge it through a 12-inch main, to all the tanks and inner bottom com- partments. An extra pump was placed upon deck, to handle the water through the same main. This pump was for use when the ship was on her side. The permanent ballast system was relied upon to pump out all of the double bottom compartments. All valves were arranged with extension stems, so as to bring their hand wheels upon deck. The object of this was to assure ready manipulation at all times. . (To be concluded.) = \ Wood Fender Sy, TELE A _——— PK TY POMS eS SY Be ERAS.
