Transcriber’s Note:-

The original spelling, hyphenation, accentuation and punctuation has been retained, except for apparent typographical errors.

In Chapter 10, the quotation following the 10th paragaph stated:

On her port side she carries a red light, and it is so shut in that it cannot be seen from the port side or from behind.

This has been corrected to read:

On her port side she carries a red light, and it is so shut in that it cannot be seen from the starboard side or from behind.
