COTTCOTT, a particular sort of bed-frame, suspended from the beams of a ship, for the officers to sleep in between the decks. This contrivance is much more convenient at sea than either the hammocks or fixed cabins, being a large piece of canvas sewed into the form of a chest, about fix feet long, one foot deep, and from two to three feet wide: it is extended by a square wooden frame with a canvas bottom, equal to it's length and breadth, to retain it in an horizontal position.
