And through this space run several valves, being LIFEBOAT. open tubes through which, should a sea fill the boat, her false bottom being above water line, the water is immediately discharged. Thus the boat is unsinkable and almost unc...apdzable ; and should she capdze must quickly right herself. An efficient lifeboat is held capable of carrying one adult person to every 10 cubic feet of capacity ; to which capacity she must also have l^ft. Of air-tight compartments.
