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.
