' Tho lengt'i of the boat 13 60ft., and the beam 9ft. fin. It in covered in, so that there is no danger of shipping any water, and the entrance is obtained oy tivo manholes. Along each side the boat has siirtiglit tanks, which will, tlin inventor staten, right the boat when sho is pitching and tossing in a roußh sea. or oven if she is turned right over. Foro and aft there are airtiirlil compartments for oil engines. The lifeboat, the inventor states, will bo able to carry 150 pasRcnfreTß.
