wind, going full steam, seven and a half knots, when her.
bilge-pipes began to fill. Sbe was put almost immediately
under canvass, her steam power being applied to .the
pumps. The troops were alarmed by the sounding of the

, wherethere are ham-
mocks slung for 450, thel ct lc
others sleeping on gratings
on the deck, 'lndere

into
ship's entrance
Plymouth the maindeck and these
gratings were in a very wet condition. U oder the upper
deck there are gratufgs, intended for the reception of the
men's ku9,psacks, but they are fitted too closely for that
purpose, and th* knapsacks are in consequence strewn
about among the hammocks in the Way of the men. It is
al+q stated that the hospital on the starboard bow is so
ill-ventilated as to be unbearable by night when the side-
lights are closed. Instead of 1,114, the Urgent seems
qualified to accommodate about 600 men. In addition
to the leakage from the damaged bilge-pipes, she leaks
in the tams of the cabin. One of the bilge-pipes
burst
on the trial trip, and was plugged and repaired at Ports-
mouth. Her engines are in very good order.
