_Rule to find the weight of any sized Rope._--A rope of 1 inch
circumference requires 486 fathoms to make one hundred weight. The
superficial part of all circles being in proportion to the square
of their diameters, consequently the square of their circumference.
Therefore, a rope of 1 inch in circumference, whose square is one,
has 486 fathoms to a cwt.; and, therefore, 486 being divided by the
square of the circumference of any rope, the quotient will give the
number of fathoms. For instance,
9×9 = 81)486(6. The number of fathoms in a cwt.
486
---
_Rule to find the weight of 120 fathoms of any sized
Cable._--Multiply the circumference by the circumference, and divide
the product by 4, and the quotient will be the number of cwts. in 120
fathoms.

The foregoing exhibit of the component parts, &c., of the Navy
Ration, has been compiled in pursuance of the act of Congress, and
will be strictly observed by commanders of vessels and by pursers,
as a regulation of this Department, prescribing the daily issue of
provisions, and the valuation at which they are to be commuted.
All persons “attached to vessels for sea-service,” are entitled
individually to one ration per day.
Every commissioned or warrant-officer, of, or over, twenty-one years of
age, may, at his option, commute the entire ration, or only the spirit
portion of it: provided the commutation, in either case, be made
for not less than three consecutive months. And every other person,
of the above-named age, entitled to a ration, may commute the spirit
component, under the limitation of time, unless sooner detached, or
entitled to a discharge.
No officer or other person, under twenty-one years of age, shall be
permitted to draw the spirit part of his ration. Its value in money,
as estimated by the foregoing table, will be credited to him by the
purser, and paid whenever the commander of the vessel, to which such
officer or person may belong, shall direct.
The messes of a ship’s crew may, with the sanction of the commanding
officer, commute, daily or weekly, one or more entire rations, for
not less than three months (unless sooner detached, or entitled to a
discharge); the commutation to be paid by the purser, at such times as
the said commanding officer shall deem fit.
Pursers having the delivery of rations, will make out and transmit,
monthly and otherwise, by the earliest opportunities, to the Bureau of
Provisions and Clothing of this Department, abstracts of provisions,
agreeably to such forms as may be furnished to them from that bureau,
approved by the Second Comptroller of the Treasury; their provision
accounts, as heretofore, will be rendered to the Fourth Auditor’s
office.
A. P. UPSHUR, _Secretary of the Navy_.
AN ACT TO ESTABLISH AND REGULATE THE NAVY RATION.
SEC. 1. _Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of
the United States of America, in Congress assembled_, That the navy
ration shall consist of the following daily allowance of provisions
for each person:--One pound of salted pork, with half a pint of peas
or beans; or one pound of salted beef, with half a pound of flour, and
a quarter of a pound of raisins, dried apples, or other dried fruits;
or one pound of salt beef, with half a pound of rice, two ounces of
butter, and two ounces of cheese; together with fourteen ounces of
biscuit, one quarter of an ounce of tea, or one ounce of coffee, or one
ounce of cocoa, two ounces of sugar, and one gill of spirits; and of a
weekly allowance of half a pound of pickles or cranberries, half a pint
of molasses, and half a pint of vinegar.
SEC. 2. _And be it further enacted_, That fresh meat may be substituted
for salt beef or pork, and vegetables or sauer-kraut for other articles
usually issued with the salted meats, allowing one and a quarter pounds
of fresh meat for one pound of salted beef or pork, and regulating the
quantity of vegetables or sauer-kraut, so as to equal the value of
those articles for which they may be substituted.
SEC. 3. _And be it further enacted_, That, should it be necessary
to vary the above described daily allowance, it shall be lawful to
substitute one pound of soft bread, or one pound of flour, or half a
pound of rice, for fourteen ounces of biscuit; half a pint of wine
for a gill of spirits; half a pound of rice for half a pint of peas
or beans; half a pint of beans or peas for half a pound of rice. When
it may be deemed expedient by the President of the United States,
Secretary of the Navy, commander of a fleet or squadron, or a single
ship, when not acting under the authority of another officer on foreign
service, the articles of butter, cheese, raisins, dried apples (or
other dried fruits), pickles and molasses may be substituted for each
other and for spirits; _provided_ the article substituted shall not
exceed in value the article for which it may be issued, according to
the scale of prices which is or may be established for the same.
SEC. 4. _And be it further enacted_, That in cases of necessity the
daily allowance of provisions may be diminished or varied, by the
discretion of the senior officer present in command; but payment shall
be made to the persons whose allowance shall be thus diminished,
according to the scale of prices which is or may be established for the
same; but a commander, who shall thus make a diminution or variation,
shall report to his commanding officer, or to the Navy Department,
the necessity for the same, and give to the purser written orders,
specifying particularly the diminution or reduction which is to be made.
SEC. 5. _And be it further enacted_, That no commissioned officer,
or midshipman, or any person under twenty-one years of age, shall be
allowed to draw the spirit part of the daily ration; and all other
persons shall be permitted to relinquish that part of their ration,
under such restrictions as the President of the United States may
authorize; and to every person who, by this section, is prohibited
from drawing, or who may relinquish, the spirit part of his ration,
there shall be paid, in lieu thereof, the value of the same in money,
according to the prices which are or may be established for the same.
SEC. 6. _And be it further enacted_, That the provisions of this act
shall go into effect, in the United States, on the first day of the
succeeding quarter after it becomes a law; and in vessels abroad, on
the first day of the succeeding quarter after its official receipt; and
any acts, or parts of acts, which may be contrary to, or inconsistent
with, the provisions of this act, shall be and are hereby repealed.

The Table is to be entered with the number of points contained between
the ships head and the _first_ bearing of the object, at the top, and
with the number of points, reckoned the same way, between the ship’s
head and the _second_ bearing, at the side; the number in the table at
the intersection of the two columns being multiplied by the distance
run, is the distance from the object at the time the _last_ bearing was
taken.
EXAMPLE.--A Light-house bears N. W., and after running W. by S. 8
miles, it bears N. N. E.; the number of points between W. by S. and
N. W. is 5, and that between W. by S. and N. N. E. is 11; then under
5 points at the top, and abreast of 11 points at the side, stands the
number 0.9, which being multiplied by 8 gives 7.2 miles, the distance
at the time of the last (N. N. E.) bearing.
If the bearings are observed to quarter points, the numbers may be
taken out accordingly; this needs no example.

NOTE.--The Breadth of Upper Cross-trees, same as lower.
NOTE.--These Cross-trees to be fayed down over the Battons, and
secured to the Lower Cross-trees by bolts at each end, and by four
Staples and Toggles, so that they may be readily removed when it is
necessary to lift the top. The Strap and Eye-bolts for the lower lifts
to be placed on the caps, abreast of the middle of the Top-mast hole.
PROPORTIONS FOR TOPS, TRESTLE-TREES, CROSS-TREES AND CAPS.
MAIN TOP.--_Breadth._ One-half the moulded breadth of beam.
FORE TOP.--Nine-tenths of Main Top.
MIZEN TOP.--Four-fifths of Fore Top.
All Tops must be in length two-thirds of their breadth, and must be
made light, with upper Cross-trees upon the Top over the lower ones,
fayed down on the Battons and keyed together.
LOWER TRESTLE-TREES.--_Length._ The length of their respective Tops.
_Depth._ Three-fifths of their respective masts
at the partners.
_Breadth or Thickness._ One-half their depth.
LOWER CROSS-TREES.--_Length._ Breadth of their respective Tops.
_Breadth._ Breadth of their respective
Trestle-trees.
_Depth or Thickness._ Two-thirds of their breadth.
