  Masoola boat \Ma*soo"la boat`\
     A kind of boat used on the coast of Madras, India. The planks
     are sewed together with strands of coir which cross over a
     wadding of the same material, so that the shock on taking the
     beach through surf is much reduced. [Written also masula,
     masulah, etc.]
