. Lying-to (Fig. 5), a vessel can be brought closer to the wind by using one or two oil-bags forward, to windward. With a high beam sea, use oil-bags along the weather side at intervals of 40 or 50 feet. In a heavy cross-sea, (Fig. 6), as in the centre of a Hurricane, or after the centre has passed, oil- bags should be hung out at regular intervals along both sides. Steaming into a heavy head-sea (Fig. 7), use Oil through the for- ward closet-pipes. Oil- bags would be tossed back on deck.
