such stormy weather to con

which they did. Even at that one
wonders how they got anywhere
with their towering aft and fore

was that they had plenty OF beam
with a tumble lone from the wa
ter line, which helped to make
them seaworthy, and being slow
they would naturally ride out a
gale better than the present type
OF deep narrow craft. The faster
the deep marrow ship is the worse
weather she will make of it.
With all the progress shipping
