In order to account for this steady amount of water it may be explained that as the ship is heeled 3° to 
starboard, and the Sewell pump suction is on the port side of the Kelson, the water has to be allowed to 
rise to that height on the starboard side before enough will flow over the Kelson and through the 
thwartship limber holes to be taken up by the pump.
