How Ships Sink.

Nearly every class or design Of ves'
sci is said to sink in particular way.
For instance, the old type OF single-Dot'
tom steamer, with few or no bulkheads
almost invariably founders on moro
or less of an even keel, which means
that they sink level.
The case of modern vessel. which
Is built with numerous subdivisions'
founders with her bow or stern hign
out Of the water; or with a seavy list
to one side. The bulkheads prevent
the water which enters the vessel from
finding the level; consequently, when
one particular portion of the ship 10

The winter climate along the south
