THE RULE OF THE ROAD AT SEA.

Among the questions in the Parliamentary papers on August 8th' to which printed answers were given was oue as to the rules of the road at sea for men-of-war and merchantinen. Mr. Gibson Bowles asked the President of the Board of Trade in regard to the Board of Trads alvisory circulars of April, 1997 and July, 1900, whereby British marinerkare warned that when single ships are approaching a squadron of war- ships, so as 16 involve risk of a collision, it would be in the interests of safety to keep out of the way of and avoid passing through a squadron: Were the advisory vireulues indended to warn single ships not, to pass ahead for through a squadron; did the notices apply toa single ship anthorised by the rule of the rond ut sen to hold, her course, azal did duey vise her not to de list in this rase; was the rule as to keeping out of the way different" for single ship in a squadron from that for a ugle ship not in a spatron; and, if not, would
