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.]
