BUDGE BARREL. 149 



and Property, Chapter . Another article of this kind is 



made with an air-tight clasp, and tube for inflating it, see plate 

 , figs. 1 and 2. 



BREAD BAGS. 



Are made in the same way as ships' letter bags, of gum-elastic 

 fabrics ; they are designed for containing bread for ships' use, 

 instead of barrels, by which means bread may be kept dry, and 

 room saved in storage. 



SAILORS' BAGS. 



These are made of plated cloth, or corded vellum, with water- 

 tight mouth pieces, in the same way as the grain bags, described 

 page . They are made of different sizes and proportions, 

 and without handles, but commonly of the proportions required 

 to answer the United States' Navy regulations, where they have 

 been used with success. 



This article is designed not only to answer the purpose of a 

 clothes bag, but also to render any boat, even though it should 

 be leaky, a life-boat, which may be done by lashing to the boat a 

 number of them filled with clothing. 



BUDGE BARREL. 



This is a light cask or barrel, made of whalebone board, with 

 wooden hoops, as represented in plate xii., fig. 1 ; it is an 

 article which has heretofore been made of leather, and is used 

 for the safe keeping of cartridges on deck during an action.
