when each ship follows its original
course regardless of the other The
chief difficulty lies in distinguishing
the exart locations of signals in time
to avoid coming to close quarters.
Consequently it is proposed to equip
each ship with four whistles instead
of one. Each whistle is to be tuned to
a different note, one for each quarter
of the compass. BY this means each
ship will be able to signify her gen
eral course to the other, and the cap
tains will be able to maneuver intelli-
gently, instead of merely guessing at
the location and course of the other
vessel-New York Mail.

SAVING SHIPS IN A FOG
A Scheme to Thwart One of the Dead
ly Perils of the Sea

Of all perils met at sea, fog is most
dreaded by the man on the bridge. A
naval officer has suggested a plan that
aims to do away with much of the loss
of ships and lives that is an annual
toll on ocean traffic.
Experience has proved that more
collisions are caused by efforts of ships
to avoid each other than by any other
reason. Experienced shipmasters de-
clare that very few accidents occur
