Fighting: Seasickness.
Ti-ero have been many attempts made to bit upon a type of ship that when at tea, shall neither pitch nor roll. We illustrate the principle of one of the latest vessels invented with that end in new, and one which is said to be proving successful. The- hull of this steamship is shaped some-
ivhat like a submarine boat, and is entirely submerged in the water. Upon this hull, as the front view given clearly shows, there is built up what we may term the "ship" itself, with decks, engines, cabins, and so forth. This, of course, is a deep water ship, is not meant for speed, but will carry a great amount of cargo. The fact that the hull is sunk beneath the waves ke&ps the vessel steady.
