REGULATIONS OF THE SEA

All street t raff ic is regulated by law. Each nation prescribes thelaws within i ts own waters an d the re are international rules for theocean.

Machine propelledvessels must give way to sailing vessels an dsailing vessels , in a favorab le positionwith regard to the winds,must give way to those less favored and if one vessel is overtakinganother it is the rule of the overtakingvessel to keep clear.

Every vessel at night carr ies a system of lights to tell its position,size and motion. General ly on the port side a red light is s e e n _andon the right side a green light. On the masts white and red lights

are arrange d, dist inguishing the type andsize of the ship and thedirection in which It is sailing. There mus t be a visibilty of twomiles of the port an d starboard lights.

BUOYS

Buoys ar e valuable aids but not always dependab le . Heavyseas ,ice or collisions may drag them out of position orcause them todisappear.

Buoys have different colorinas so as to differentiate th e spec ia lpurpose for which they are em ployed.

Buoys are known by the following names:- spar buoys, nun buoys,ca n buoys, bell buoys, whist l ingbuoys and gas buoys.

Th e fol lowing orderis observed in coloring an d numbering t hemalong th e coasts , bays, harbors, sounds and channels.

In nearing th e channel from seaward, re d buoys with even num-bers are pa s sed on the starboard side an d black buoys with oddnumbers are passed on the port side.

II


9/74

Those painted red and black in horizontal stripes are placed onobstructions with channel ways on either side of them and may alsobe passed on either side on coming in. Those painted with blackand white vertical lines are placed in mid-channel and must bepassed closely to avoid danger.

Buoys with balls, cages, etc., mark turning points, the color andnumber of the buoy indicating on which side it shall be passed.

SOUND SIGNALS FOR FOG

During foggy weather ships blow a long blast on the whistle atfrequent intervals. Anchored ships ring a bell for five seconds ev-ery minute. Modern liners have other means of guiding themselvesin the fog such as, submarine listening devices, radio directionfinders, engine room telegraph systems.

Starting, stopping and backing signals from the Bridge to theEngineer:-

Ahead slow.

Full speed.

When working slow ahead means stop.

When stopped means slow astern.When working slow astern means full speedastern.

Means from full speed ahead to full speedastern.

Means from full speed astern to full speedahead.

SEA CLIMATE

To describe the condition of the sea the following nautical sym-bols are used:-

B B r o k e n , irregular LLong rollingC Choppy, crossed M Moderate swell& Ground swell R RoughH Heavy sea T Tide rips

S Smooth

DISTANCES AT SEA

On a clear day the hull of a passing liner can be seen about 15naut ical miles away and the top masts even farther.

WAVES

There is always discussion and speculation of the height andvelocity of ocean waves. The maximum height of ocean waves sel-dom go above forty feet which is comparably an ordinary smallhill for the generally exaggerated mountainous wave often described.

LOG

The log is generally attached by a small cord to the railing of aship, trailing astern in the water registering the actual distance atthe end of the trip.

FORETELLING THE WE ATHER BY BAROMETER

A Rising Barometer:-A rapid rise indicates unsettled weather.

A gradual rise indicates settled weather.A rise with dry air and cold increasing in summer indicates wind

from the no rthward; and if rain has fallen, better weather may beexpected.

A rise with moist air and a low temperature indicates wind andrain from the northward.

A rise with southerly winds indicates fine weather.

A Steady Barometer:-

With dry air and seasonable temperature indicates a continuanceof very fine weather.

A Falling Barometer:-

A rapid fall indicates stormy weather.A rapid fall with westerly wind indicates stormy weather from

the northward.A fall with a northerly wind indicates storm, with rain and hail in

summer, and snow in winter.A fall with increased moisture in the air, end heat increasing, in-

dicates wind and rain from the southward.A fall with dry air and cold increasing in winter indicates snow.A fall after very calm and warm weather indictes rain with squally

weather.The barometer rises for northerly winds, including from northwest

by north to the eastward for dry, or less wet weather, for less wind,or for more than one of these changes , except on a few occasions,when rain, hail, or snow comes from the northward with strong wind.

The barometer falls for southerly wind, including from southeastby south to the westward, for wet weather, for stronger wind or for

more thanone of

these changes , excepton a few

occasions, whenmoderate wind, with rain or snow comes from the northward.

MOTOR TRAVEL

The motor routes throughout Europe are as excellent as ours, an dmotor travel has increased rapidly in the past few years. In Switz-erland and Italy routes are listed on the time tables. In othercountries hotels will gladly give the traveler detailed information onvarious routes.

EUROPEAN HOTELS

Hotels abroad are of several classes. The larger hotels are verymuch Americanized excepting that they charge higher price s thanour American Hotels. However, smaller hotels are much moreabundant and in most countries they are good. Travelled personsoften prefer them because they are more colorful and cheaper. In

England the "temperance hotels" are excellent second class ac-commodations.Generally, hotels abroad, except for the big ones, have few or

no rooms with bath. There is usually a bath on each floor, andcharges are about twenty-five cents a person. They have to be ar-ranged for at the desk.

Soap is an item that is rarely furnished therefore it is best tocarry your own supply.

It is customary to look at one's rooms before engaging them, andto ascertain what is included in the rent, as taxes and light billsare often taclced on to the unknowing tourist's bill. It is usually pos-sible to arrange for one's rooms with meals if so desired. It is acommon practice abroad to serve breakfast in the bedroom.

If your itinerary is definite you can save money on hotel bills bypurchasing hotel coupons from tourist agencies. When issued bythe better known companies they are accepted everywhere in

Europe, provided that you have reserved your room in a dvance .If a change of plans necessitates your cancelling these reservations,do so well in advance.

Pensions are privately conducted lodging houses and they arefound throughout Europe in the tourist regions. They are cheape rthan hotels and if selected carefully are thoroughly comfortable.

Drinking water is not as safe abroad as here at home an d there-fore it is advisable to drink bottled mineral water.

TELEGRAPH CODE FOR HOTELS

W h e n ordering reservations from a distance, it will save expenseto use the International Telegraph Code for Hotels, the principalcode-words are as follows:-
