In the newest ships an oil—tank, to hold from 40 to 50 gallons,

is also lled beneath the deck in the same way.
The bulwarks of the new ships have self—acting scuppers for ;
heavy seas, besides the usual small permanent ones, but no
cement-gutters are now present at the sides, as it was found '

that they were rather a disadvantage, for, in such as have seen
service, the cement becomes dilapidated.
In 1884 the ships
working off Aberdeen usually carried their shes in covered com—
partments at the bulwarks in front, or they were even permitted
to lie loosely on deck.
This arrangement is now seldom seen, "
probably owing to the use of ice and the greater distances
traversed.
The bag of the trawl containing the shes is

emptied in the Aberdeen ships in a series of pounds (about ve

grooves on deck in front of the winch, and in these the shes

The labour involved by this method is a '
contrast to that of previous years off the eastern Scottishshores.
