Abstract
THE prevention of sea-sickness by means of a swinging cabin has nothing novel about it, but the originality and inventive merit in the suspended saloon devised by Mr. Bessemer, and now about to be actually constructed in a ship specially designed for it by Mr. Reed, the late Chief Constructor of the Navy, are of the highest order. The association of those names is in itself a sufficient guarantee that the idea will be carried into execution with complete security as respects the safety of the passengers and the seaworthiness of the ship, and a full knowledge of the scientific principles involved.
