ihip’s boiler may be made ufe of, by adapting a 
dill-head to it. 
II. "Now fuppofing a dill to contain 2y gallons, 
and that four parts in five of it, viz. 20 gallons are 
diddled off : then, in order to didil a tun, or 210 
gallons, the dill mud' be emptied, cleanfed, and re- 
filled eleven times ; and if the whole be done in 24 
hours, 'full 16 of thofe hours will be taken up in 
didilling at- the rate of a gallon in about four minutes 
andean half; and the remaining eight hours of the 
24, being. divided into 1 1 equal parts, they will be 
each near 44 minutes to empty and .cleanfe the dill, 
.to refill dt, .and give the fea- water a proper boiling 
diddling heat : whether this can be, done in fo diort a 
.time, .mud be known by experience, and ought 
•^therefore fird to be tried at land. 
ii 2. Do(dor Butler, in his lately publidied method 
^of procuring frcjh water at fea^ propoies the pouring 
-in more fea-water into the dill, thro’ a funnel fixed 
in a fmall hole in the head or upper part of the dill, 
when more:than .half the former water is didilled 
.off; by which means the water in the dill will foon 
acquire a didilling heat ; and this to be repeated -fe- 
•reral times ; but then it will be requifitc to add each 
-time more chalk, in.fuch proportion as (hall be found 
requifite. It.will.be well to try this method in hopes 
thereby to increafe the quantity of water that is 
didilled. The hole in the head, or upper part of 
'the dill, is to be dopped with a fmall plate of cop- 
per, fo fixed as to turn to .and from over the hole.
