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.

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.
