THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30Tп AUGUST, 1890.

Computation from

areas.

sixteen feet, divide cach depth into seven equal parts instead of four, and measure as before directed the horizontal breadths at the six points of division, and also at the upper point of the depth; number them from above as before; multiply the second, fourth, and sixth by four, and the third and fifth by two; add these products together, and to the sum add the first breadth and the seventh; multiply the quantity thus obtained by one third of the common interval between the breadths, and the product shall be deemed the transverse area of the upper part of the section, then find the lower part of the area as before directed, and add the two parts together, and the sum shall be deemed to be the transverse area.

In all cases where the top of the double bottom is horizontal, it will be sufficient to measure the transverse areas under the ordinary words of the law.

(3.) Having thus ascertained the transverse arca at each point of division of the length of the ship, or each point of division of the parts of the length, as the case may require, as required by the above table, proceed to ascertain the register tonnage of the ship in the following manner:-number the areas successively 1, 2, 3, &c., No. 1 being at the extreme limit of the length at the bow, or of each part of the length, and the last No. at the extreme limit of the length at the stern, or the extreme limit at the after end of each part of the length; then, whether the length be divided according to the table into four or 12 parts, as in classes I and 5, or any intermediate number, as in classes 2, 3, and 4, multiply the second and every even numbered area by four, and the third and every odd numbered area (except the first and last) by two; add these products together, and to the sum add the first and last if they yield anything: multiply the quantity thus obtained by one-third of the common interval between the areas, and the product will be the cubical contents of the space, or cubical contents of each part if the ship is measured in parts, under the tonnage deck; divide this product, or if measured in parts the products of the several parts added together, by 100, and the quotient, being the tonnage under the tonnage deck, shall be deemed to be the register tonnage of the ship, subject to the additions and deductions mentioned in the remaining parts of the Act.
