Surging is defined as variation in speed of -- forward -- translation through water; experiments described are probably first of their kind; instrument employed is co-axial pendulum of T. B. ABELL; vessel was 518 ft. long, 63 ft. wide with displacement corresponding to 13,200 tons; actual records of acceleration differ materially in character, according as period of encounter of waves is greater or less than ship's natural pitching period, which necessitates making allowance for fore and aft movement due to pitching.
