Shipbuilding in iron and steel / a practical treatise . . s adopted, and an arrangement is given in Fig190, which will illustrate the mannerin which the topsides and stringer arecombined.

Theremainder of the arrangements of thebulwark require no description. In the Warrior the topsides areof wood, and are fitted as shown inPlate 3. The only matter requiringremark, is the mode of securing the Fig- lao- heals of the Avooden stanchions. As the backing is in two thick-nesses, and in the outer layer the planks are worked vertically, itis evident that the heels of the stanchions can readily be securedbetween the vertical planks. The gunwale or covering board isvery wide, and since the upper edges of the armour and waterwayare rabbeted into the gunwale they can be effectually caulked,and tlie passage of water down between the teak planks in thebacking can be prevented.
