Chapter II: Part 2

A steam vessel must be provided with a whistle operated by steam or air.

A sailing vessel must be provided with a horn.

In fog, mist, falling snow, or heavy rainstorms, whether by day or night, the signals described shall be used:

A steam vessel underway shall sound, at intervals of not more than one minute, a prolonged blast.

A sailing vessel underway shall sound, at intervals of not more than one minute, when on the starboard tack, one blast; when on the port tack, two blasts in succession, and when with the wind abaft the beam, three blasts in succession.

A vessel when at anchor shall, at intervals of not more than one minute, ring the bell rapidly for about five seconds.

A steam vessel when towing shall, instead of the signal prescribed above, at intervals of not more than one minute, sound three blasts in succession, namely, one prolonged blast followed by two short blasts. A vessel towed may give this signal and she shall not give any other.

All rafts or other water craft, not herein provided for, navigating by hand power, horse-power, or by the current of the river, shall sound a blast of the fog horn, or equivalent signal, at intervals of not more than one minute.

STEAM VESSEL SIGNALS.

_One blast_--I am directing my course to starboard.

_Two blasts_--I am directing my course to port.

_Three blasts_--I am going astern.

The vessel that blows first has the right of way.

Passing through narrow channels a vessel must keep to that bank of the fairway which is on her starboard hand.

_LIST OF BOOKS._

The following books are recommended to the young yachtsman. From them he can obtain information of value, and a study of their pages will materially aid him in gaining a thorough knowledge of the seaman's art:

On Yachts and Yacht Handling _Day_
Hints to Young Yacht Skippers _Day_

THE RUDDER

The policy of THE RUDDER is to give to yachtsmen a thoroughly practical periodical, dealing with the sport of yachting in all its phases, and especially to furnish them with the designs and plans of vessels adapted to their wants in all localities.

In each issue is a design of a sailing or power craft, and at
least four times a year a complete set of working drawings is
given, so that the unskilled can try a hand at building with a
certainty of making a success of the attempt.

In the last two years over 500 boats have been built from designs
printed in the magazine, and in almost every case have given
satisfaction.

Outside of the strictly practical, the magazine has always a cargo
of readable things in the way of cruises and tales, while its
illustrations are noted for their novelty and beauty.

The editor desires to increase the size of the magazine and to add
to its features. In order to do this it is necessary that it be
given the hearty support of all who are interested in the sport.
The cost of a subscription, $2 a year rolled or $2.50 mailed flat,
is as low as it is possible to make it and furnish a first-class
publication, and he asks yachtsmen to subscribe, as in that way
they can materially assist him in keeping the magazine up to its
present standard of excellence.

ELEMENTS OF NAVIGATION

This little book, a very clever abridgement and complication of

of the problems are so lucid that no man should be forgiven
who fails to understand them. I have seen many books of this
