The collision was caused by the gross
negligence of a switch-Oiler in the employ

neglected 10 close them again.
The switch is In the shape Of an inverted

Red sectors In lighthouses are used To

it was the cause OF serious accidents.
The tests we're made from the steamer

lanterns we're provided with stops, having
