The Cancer - is formed of a galley, about ft - fly-eight feet in length, cut exaelly in two,' from stem to stern; those.. two parts :ire joined to .the ends Pi five pieces o f timl)er, which cross them, and are made secure by, breci; of iron : upon those the ,bearns is raised a platform, in the centre of which stands a three-pounder, ready mounted, with 'am nitinition-boXes, tc.-e. The wheels of 'thi cannein starat in a groove, upon a Kirt ef frune-`,`pork which runs out some 'feet beyond the bows, so that the moment the vessel is - run a-shore, the cannon can be landed; and instantly put in use. In the .centre of each of the two extreme beams which s. Join the two half-gall e ys, masts are fixed, each - of which carry a large sqnare sail, with proper,rigging.' foresailproje&s from a boom - which is fixed to the frame. There . are -fla- 'rudders, one to e ac h tremity of the half-gallies, two only of which are worked at time, by a cord coutie(ton with - a larger one in the centre, andl . managed by a p er s on :on theplatti - Jrm. Thel; : e rutiders can be unshipped in a mment, and the ludf-viiies being equally sh ar p at both ends, she' can be rain backward or for,viird at pleasure. The 4 1ialf-gallies are decked, with ci,;lit holes cut along each, large enough to admit a man's body,, to the month of each of which is lisaid a canvas bag, .painted so as to prevent the. •wiiter penetrating, with a rwming string in the top ; in these bags the sixteen men, who pull at the oar, seat therns:efres ? and tie them.. above their hips ; this sufficiently 1-ashes them to the boat, and pm . eins their tang waited over board.
