by four, and the third and all the other odd numbered breadths (except the first and last) by two; to the sum of these products add the first and last breadths; multiply the whole sum by one-third of the common interval between the breadths, and the result will give in superficial feet the mean horizontal area of the space; measure the mean height of the space, and multiply by it the mean horizontal area, and the product will be the cubical contents of the space; divide this product by one hundred, and the quotient shall be deemed to be the tonnage of the space and shall be added to the tonnage of the ship ascertained as aforesaid. If the ship has more than three decks, the tonnage of each space between decks above the tonnage deck shall be severally ascertained in manner above described, and shall be added to the tonnage of the ship ascertained as aforesaid.

(5.) If there be a break, a poop, or any other permanent closed-in space (d) on the upper deck, available for cargo or stores, or for the berthing or accommodation of passengers or crew, the tonnage of that shall be ascertained as follows:-Measure the internal space mean length of the space in feet, and divide it into two equal parts; measure at the middle of its height three inside breadths, namely, one at each end and the other at the middle of the length; then to the sum of the end breadths add four times the middle breadth, and multiply the whole sum by one-third of the common interval between the breadths, the product will give the mean horizontal area of the space; then measure the mean height, and multiply by it the mean horizontal area; divide the product by one hundred, and the quotient shall be deemed to be the tonnage of the space, and shall be added to the tonnage under the tonnage deck ascertained as aforesaid. Provided that no addition shall be made in respect of any building erected for the shelter of deck passengers, and approved by the Board of Trade.

Rule II.

(1.) Measure the length on the uppermost deck from the outside of the outer plank at the stem to the aftside of the stern post, deducting therefrom the distance between the aftside of the stern post and the rabbet of the stern post at the point where the counter plank crosses it; measure also the greatest breadth of the ship to the outside of the outer planking or wales, and then, having first marked on the outside of the ship on both sides thereof the height of the upper deck at the ship's sides, girt the ship at the greatest breadth in a direction perpendicular to the keel from the height so marked on the outside of the ship on the one side to the height so marked on the other side by passing a chain under the keel; to half Girting of the the girth thus taken add half the main breadth; square the sum; multiply the result by the length of ship taken as aforesaid; then multiply this product by the factor 0018 (eighteen ten-thousandths) in the case of ships built of wood, and 0021 (twenty-one ten-thousandths) in the case of ships built of iron, and the product shall be

Measure the mean depth of the space from its crown to the Measurement ceiling at the limber strake, measure also three, or, if necessary, of allowance for enginemore than three breadths of the space at the middle of its depth, room space in taking one of those measurements at each end, and another at the steamships. middle of the length; take the mean of those breadths; measure [1854, s. 23; also the mean length of the space between the foremost and after- 35 & 36 Vict. most bulk-heads or limits of its length, excluding such parts, if any, c. 73, s. 3.] as are not actually occupied by or required for the proper working of the machinery: multiply together these three dimensions of length, breadth, and depth, divide the product by 100 and the result shall be deemed the tonnage of the space below the crown; then find the cubical contents of the space or spaces, if any, above the crown aforesaid, which are framed in for the machinery or for the admission of light and air, by multiplying together the length, depth, and breadth thereof; add such contents to the cubical contents of the space below the crown; divide the sum by 100; and the result shall (subject to the provisions hereinafter contained) be deemed to be the tonnage of the space:

(ii.) If in any ship in which the space for propelling power is to be measured the engines and boilers are fitted in separate compartments, the contents of each shall be measured severally in like manner, according to the above rules, and the sum of their several results shall be deemed to be the tonnage of the said space:

(iii.) In the case of screw steamers in which the space for propelling power is to be measured, the contents of the shaft trunk shall be ascertained by multiplying together the mean length, breadth, and depth of the trunk, and dividing the product by 100:

(iv.) If in any ship in which the space aforesaid is to be measured any alteration be made in the length or capacity of the spaces or if any cabins be fitted in the space, the ship shall be deemed to be a ship not registered until remeasurement.

IV. In ascertaining the tonnage of open ships the upper edge of RULE IV. the upper strake is to form the boundary line of measurement, and

SIXTH SCHEDULE.

REGULATIONS TO BE OBSERVED WITH RESPECT TO ACCOMMODATION ON
BOARD SHIPS.

(1.) Every place in a ship occupied by seamen or apprentices, and appropriated to their use, shall be such as to make the space which it is required by the Second Part of this Act to contain available for the proper accommodation of the men who are to occupy it, and shall be securely constructed, properly lighted and ventilated, properly protected from weather and sea, and as far as practicable properly shut off and protected from effluvium which may be caused by cargo or bilge water.

(2.)

(3.) Every place so occupied and appropriated as aforesaid shall, whenever the ship is registered or re-registered, be inspected by one of the surveyors of ships under this Act, who shall, if satisfied that the same is in all respects such as is required by this Act, give to the collector of customs a certificate to that effect, and if the certificate is obtained, but not otherwise, the space shall be deducted from the register tonnage (a).

(4.) No deduction from tonnage as aforesaid shall be authorised unless there is permanently cut in a beam, and cut in or painted on or over the doorway or hatchway of every place so occupied and appropriated, the number of men which it is constructed to accommodate, with the words "Certified to accommodate seamen."

(5.) Upon any complaint concerning any place so occupied and appropriated as aforesaid, a surveyor of ships may inspect the place, and if he finds that any of the provisions of this Act with respect to the same are not complied with he shall report the same to the chief officer of customs at the port where the ship is registered, and thereupon the registered tonnage shall be altered, and the deduction aforesaid in respect of space disallowed, unless and until it be certified by the surveyor, or by some other surveyor of ships, that the provisions of this Act in respect of the place are fully complied with.

Maximum Fees for Inspection.

(6.) The fee for each visit to the ship shall not exceed ten shillings.

(7.) The aggregate amount of the fees for any such inspection shall not exceed one pound, whatever be the number of separate visits.

(8.) When the accommodation is inspected at the same time with the measurement of the tonnage, no separate fee shall be charged for the inspection.

Editors' Note:

(a) A foreign ship is entitled to deduct crew space upon limiting liability when such space is shown by its certificate of registry or other national papers as deducted as crew space from tonnage, unless a surveyor of ships certifies that the construction and equipment of the ship do not come up to the standard required by the Act for British ships. See M. S. A. 1906, s. 55.
