There are two ranks of Oars on each side; consequently
4 are seen of a Row when you look across the Boat.
The back Half of the 3d Link, and the whole of the 4th
and 5th constitute the habitable Part of the Barge,
which I must lose no time in telling you, is
destined for Her Majesty's use if she will vouchsafe
to set foot in it. The Breadth of this habitable
Part is throughout 13 feet 5 inches in the Inside,
on the Outside, from the bottom of the Windows the
breadth is continued on each side 1 ft. 8 In. which
Breadth forms a Platform, or Foot-board for People
to walk on in passing from the Head-rowing Links
to the rowing Link at the Tail behind the habitable
Part, Consequently the extreme Breadth is about
16 ft. 9 In. From this foot Board to the Floor of the
Rooms in depth, and from the side of the Rooms to the
side of the Boat (that is the breadth of the foot board)
in breadth, forms a Space all along, which opening
into the Rooms, affords a continued Range of Cupboards
on each side. Height of the Rooms 7 ft. 4 In. in the
middle; 6 ft. 7 In. at each side; the difference is
occasioned by the form of the Roof, which of course is
a little arched for the sake of Strength, that upon
occasion it may bear a man. The front Room (occupying
only the hinder half of the 3.d Link on which it stands,)
forms the Anti Room for Attendants; That immediately
