Ship's Pumps.
There are many who place great faith in the power of pumps for keeping a ship afloat after damage. In the ordinary way, however, if a compartment is really seriously bilged, nothing but an abnormal pumping install- ation could possibly keep the water under If a vessel is struck by a mine or torpedo in the neighbourhood of a transverse bulkhead, it is quite certain that» · two compartments will be opened, to the spa. Should the explosión Loccur at the middle of the length

eñouch to damage the bulkheads at either end of it to such an extent that a very large pumping power is necessary to keep the water under in the Brjoining spaces. It is, however, possible that the bulkheads may only have a few rivets loosened and seams of plating sprung, in which case, although a good deal of water
may leak through, moderate sized pumpe may be sufficient to keep it under. The International Con- vention, while catering very adequately for the subdivision of ships, made no arrangement for the provision of pumping ap÷ pliances The Bulkheads Com- mittee, however, took this matter up and devoted a chapter of ita report to it. It recommends a very large increase in the pump ing installation of ships fas
