We would point out that the Colours Regulations provide that a boom has to be fixed outside of each ship to prevent risk of collision from passing ships and we have sent a very complete and careful copy of Commercial Regulations to the Military Authorities who would see that the questions had been carefully considered and settled by the Colonial authorities.
