THE NEW RULE OF THE ROAD AT SEA.
BY A DICK OFFICER,
The new regulations for preventing call on *txea (which come fato force to-day, the 1st July) do |
not very materially differ from those in force up in 30th June. It is true there nie additions to the Lights and St. nals, hat the Steering and Sailing Rules remata quchanged;
and, although many are slicted and amplified, It is mainly to legalize what has already become the practice of seamen, or to make the meal more precise and better adapted to existing circumstances.
To take them as they come, Art. 1.—11 good example of this,
Art. 2-Referring to a steamer's mast-heed light, states that the light, now need not" becanted at a greater belght than to feel. From the use of the word," need" In this connection, the presumption is that it may be, it sy desired. It also provides that: steamer "may" carry second mast-head light 15 feet lower and more than that distance forward of the other. This would be helalal in determining more exactly. the direction in which a vessel is going, but is not likely to be used out here except in bot where all does not count or by skippers who make a fellsh of the letter of the Regulation. The exact position in which to carry the light might have been prescribed in this case as a step in the direction of that unifo mily in the use of lights and ■iguals which is so desirable.
The Rule regarding the sidelight's remald's the same; so does that about their screens, which sil merely says that they are, to be fitted so as to prevent the lights from belog seen across the baws? An Interminable dis cassion may be raised upon what exact degree of co vergence there lights should have; and the report of the committee specially appointed by the Beard of Trade, in answer to the Agliz tion raised against the instructions given by their surveyors to fit the racens at an angle of & degrees (now abollibed). Is loferestfag. Every Intelligent'shlomaster should feel It his duty to see for himself from actest experiment, with the lamas It in pistilon, that they are correctly screened when seen from ahead).

It is perhaps to emphasize the vital necessity of the light being seen all round, While masts exist this will remain an impor sibilly, and until we can render lumineus, say the rim of the main top or a band on the tunnel the present method in nu well as can be devized,
