In order to obtain a siitisfaciory means of discharging solidand wasti from certain lavatories on the main deck owing tothe close of these to the load water line, the dis-charges from spaces are led into sludge tanks placed atdifferent ]M>sitions throughout the machinery spaces ; the soilis thr-n drained by means of gravity into ejector bodies in whicha float is arranged ; this float on ri;.ing ojmiis a valve connectedto an air reservoir, which, when opened, releiLses the air andblows the entire of the ejector overboard. When theejector emptied the float drops an<l the air valve, thesewage again flows into the ejector, and the above^operationis repeated until the soil tanks
