sel is no simple matter, and be who will
probably , have to wield the . tape is hard
at work reading up all about the subject
that, he may be prepared, to master it
when he is, called upon to take tho. meas
urements. To determine the tonnage of
a vessel necessitates, a complication . of '.' " - ' , , T..
measurements which would floor the av- F- angstrom icav e
ra mDr, i Hawaii, today on a surveying trip.
There are.' three, distinct, meanings at
taching, to', the terra "tonnage." In other
words, there are three ways of describr
ing the capacity , or . internal measure
ment of a ship, and, all of them are ex
pressed in tons, .There Is under-deck on
nage,. gross , tonnage, and net, tonuage;
the two latter being sometimes designat
ed gross register and net register ton
nage;, the , net register tonnage being that
which is assessable for : dues or pilotage,
etc. In practice, too, the term "tonnage'f
is often "used to apply to net register
tonnage. The under-deck tonnage of . , a
ship is the measurement of the cubic ca
pacity of that section of the yessel's in
terior under the tonnage deck, and the
tonnage deck is the second deck from the
floor of the ship. .... This measurement Js
stated, in tons, and each of these tons
equals 100 cubic feet, fo that when it is
stated that the under-deck tonnage of
a ship js SCO tons, what is meant Is that
there are 560 by 100 cubic feet of space
under her tonnage deck. To measure this
space it is only necessary to know the
length, breadth and depth (inside meas
urement, of course) and the co-efficient
of fineness, which latter practically cor-,
rects for the shape of the vessel being
a departure from an oblong box. Thus,
if a ship were a perfect tank her gross
under-deck tonnage would be, thp length
multiplied by breadth by depth and by
100, the product, of course, being cubic
feet. The greater the deviation from the
rectangular tank form, the smaller will
be the fraction representing the co-effl-cient
of fineness. The gross tonnage or
gross register tonnage of a ship is sim
ply the under-deck tonnage plus the ton
nage!, e., number of cubic feet in hun
dreds, in all the enclosed- spaces above
the tonnage deck.
One of the principal-objects in assign
ing tonnage to a vessel is fixing a stan
dard on which dues can be levied. Now,
it would be manifestly unfair to levy
charges on a shin's cross tonnas-p a
only a portion of such space Is available !
for money-making purposes I. e., for the
carriage of freight In other words, the
object of the net register is to exempt
from payment that portion of the vessel
which does not earn money. Thus, In tho
case of the average steamer her gross
tonnage will include under-deck tonnage
plus tonnage of poop, raised quarter-deck,
Driage nouse, deck nouses,, etc., accord
ing to type and construction; while the
deductions will include space occupied, by
propelling machinery, chart room, mas
ters' and officers' accommodation, crew
space, boatswain's stores, etc. With re
gard to deductions for propelling space,
it may be stated that the plan usually
followed is to allow one and three-quarter
times the actual engine space, etc,
to be deducted from the gross tonnage
of the vessel.
y It is useful to know that 35 cubic feet
of sea water weigh the ton; also that
the water displaced by a vessel equals
in volume the immersed section of the
vessel. The dead weight carrying ca
pacity of a vessel may be takei as "the
difference between the weight of water
displaced at light draft and with the
cargo or dead weight on board. Net ton
nage is no guide whatever to the size of
a ship. Take, for example, the Campa
nia, which is 12,950 tons gross, but only
4,374 tons net.
Leper Pratt Still Here.
Pratt, or Peepelow, the leper who
came to these shores not very long ago,
desiring to go to Molokai, is still detain
ed on Quarantine Island, lonely and anx
ious to get away to some place where
he can be sure of a permanent and com
fortable home.
Dr. Carmlchael was seen yesterday aft
ernoon by an Advertiser reporter in re
lation to Pratt's stay in these Islands.
"I can't say when Pratt - is going
away," said the doctor. J'He wanted very
much to go to Molokai but, of course,
that cannot be. He must return to the
Coast. When he will return ; I do not
know, as soon as it is possible-to secure
accommodations for him on one of the
