are inefficient during an emergency, the elaborate subdivisions of the hull's interior into water-tight compartments may become worse than useless.

MISCELLANEOUS:

There are numerous fittings attached to the hull which cannot be described in detail, but whose presence is essential. Some of the principal minor fittings are:

Mooring staples, attached to the outside of the hull, to which can be attached mooring chains or lines.

Portable davits and derricks, for hoisting boats, coal, and cargo, when the ship is in port, but which can be readily removed at sea.

Winches, fitted with drums and gypseys, for hoisting boats and cargo, handling anchors, and aiding the crew in handling lines.

Bitts, secured to various parts of the deck, with warping chocks or fair-leaders in their vicinity.

Pin-rails, fife-rails, belaying-pins, cleats, eye-bolts, and chainbolts, are necessary for handling running gear.
