PILLOWS. 



The style of pillow represented by fig. 10, is also one of 

 the articles first made in England and the United States, of the 

 Mcintosh fabrics. When made of the plated fabrics, and inflated 

 with the gum-elastic self-acting tube, this is the cheapest of the 

 various kinds of cushions. 



If inclosed in a pillow-case, and trimmed with suitable fasten- 

 ings when used on shipboard, they may also be used as life- 

 preservers. The chief objections to this pattern are their 

 warmth, and their liability to roll about. 



SELF-INFLATING PILLOWS. 



Like other self-inflating air-work, these are manufactured to 

 be inflated with one tube, or with a tube to each compartment, 

 they are designed to be used on shipboard as pillows, and if 

 required, as life-preservers ; although, like the kind before de- 

 scribed, they are objectionable as pillows on account of their 

 warmth. See plate xxvii., fig. 11.
