WHAT A SHIP DRINKS.

Two men clad in overalls stand by a hydrant on the quayside. .There is a signal from the deck of the liner lying near by, and the men approach the hydrant A twist of their hands, and the water supply is cut off. The hose is disconnected, and the liner's wants are supplied. It has been a silent, unobtrusive · business, yet the vessel has just taker in the best part of 2,000 tons of water.

She is a 12,000 tonner, and each of her six boilers carries 60 tons of water. Each boiler loses some two tohs on a day's steaming, and this has to be made good; so an extra 300 tons of fresh water has to be carried to feed the boilers. So for the boilers alone the ship needs 660 tons of water.

Then there's the ballast-some 530 tons of sea water. This, of course, varies, for as the liner rids Herself of fresh water, stores and "coal, her ballast has to be increased. ind you, this is not done in any haphazard fashion, but under con ditions that have been scientifically worked out. She must préserve her stability at all costs.

SIXTY TONS A DAY, Finally, there is the water for the crew's and passengers' needs 550 toas, The liner is well There is water equipped here. for cooking and for the laundries and it is all fresh, Almost 60 Cons of fresh water are. consumed every day. Sometimes the vessel uns short, and condensing has to be done. Condensed water is super pure, so is mixed with fresh water to make it more palatable.

Yes, this 12,000 ton liner carries" the best part of 2,000 tons of water/ to be precisa, 1,740 tons. Think of the "Majestic" and other giants, and then you will have to multiply this figure by five or six. When the world's six largest vessels make for Southampton, it is safe

to say that that port's water supply is decreased by about 100,000 tons. All this water is kept la tanks in the double bottom of the ship. Those tanks are cleaned out after every run, so are always spotlessly clean. Even the water stored in the lifeboats Is changed every passage out and home.-Ex.
