The regulation signals in inter national use for steam vessels ap. prouching ench other on the high seas are (states "The Times") mada as follows:-One short blast, indicating "I go to starboard;" two short blasts, indicating "I go to port." There are. however, many circumstances in which these signals may be indistinctly heard or wrong ly understood board the vessel for which they intended. The use of air whistles, with which most motor vessels are equipped, Is re garded as still loss satisfactory than the siren signals of steam vessels, and there is little doubt that the combined use of optical and sound chances of collision at sea. Signals will largely diminish tho

The optical direction indicator ays- tem consists of three arrows-on! smildship, horizontal, with the point to port: one amidship, horizontal, with the point to starboard; and one amidship, vertical, with the point up- wards. When lighted, these arrows neus respectively: "I go to port," "I go to starboard," and "I continuo my direction and request you to In- form me which direction you will take."
