They ■will all be fitted with double bottoms, or an inner and enter shell, the intervening space being utilised for water ballast, so that whan a river baa to be navigated the water may be pumped out, and the steamer, thus becoming of lighter draught, can continue her journey with less risk of taking the ground.
