RESISTANCE OF BILGE KEELS. 23 



motion has been made. Those in favor will please say Aye ; opposed, No. The ayes have it 

 unanimously. 



The Secretary will kindly transmit a copy of the memorial to the family of Mr. 

 Quintard. 



The next paper, No. 3, is entitled, "On the Possibility of Building a Large Passenger 

 Liner that Would not under any of the Known Mishaps at Sea Lose her Buoyancy or Sta- 

 bility and Sink," by Mr. George W. Dickie. Unfortunately Mr. Dickie is too far away to read 

 the paper himself, and the Secretary will read the abstract. After that is read, we will ask Mr. 

 Gatewood to read the abstract of his paper, and as the two papers are so closely allied, they 

 will be discussed together. 



The Secretary read the abstract of Mr. Dickie's paper.
