* N.B.—A coat of this Anti-fouling Paint costs less than a coat of tallow, less quantity being required, and, from its slimy nature, like a fish's back, it adds speed to the ship, whereas tallow rusts the iron, hangs water like a wet blanket, and stop the ship's way. See page 79.
† Three fourths of this with one fourth of No. 2 makes an admirable Anti-fouling mixture [c]heaper and better than anything known. See last page.
