being so shallow that large vessels

the sand-beds, which were looked upon
In olden times as defense, since they

the Dutch adopt the plan Of sending

either side the ship, three pontoons,
as they may be called are partially
sunk by admitting water, and when
their sloping sides are well under the

water is pumped out, and they rise
buoyantly with their burdens between
them. Across the shadows they then
