When in the case 'ot boats other thanthose- of the mst two sections of the first class, the freeboard, when the boat is fully loaded, is less than the freeboard laid down for each type respectively. In such circumstances the numbershall be reduced untll -the freeboard, when the boat is fully loadedf is at least equal to the standard freeboard laid down above. . In boats oftypes 1C and 2B`the raised part of the deck at the sides may be regarded as affording seating accouilllodation. _ rzqmvxnnxrs ron Ayn warour or Tm; masons In test for determinintz the number of persons which a boat or pontoon raftfcan accommodate each person shall be assumed to bean adult person wearing a‘ life jacket. · ·.

The cubic capacity of an'open boat of ’typé 1A or 1B _sha,ll be determined by Stlrling‘s _(Simpson’s)' rule or by any other method, approved by the Board] of Supervising Inspectors, giving the same degree of accuracy.
