Excerpt from Narrative of an Expedition in H. M. S. Terror, Undertaken With a View to Geographical Discovery on the Arctic Shores: In the Years 1836-70 It may be brie y described as a purely wrought iron pipe two hundred and forty feet long, an inch in diameter, and five eighths of an inch bore, extending nearly round the ship and the midship cabins the solution of strong brine, with which it was filled by the aid of a forcing-pump, being kept hot by means of a furnace, strongly built in brick within an iron tank or casing, in the interior of which several coils of pipe wound round. To guard against accidents, there were expansion tubes abaft the first bend coming from the furnace, which, in case of an excess of heat, became filled, and so prevented the bursting of the apparatus.
