IT HAPPENED IN ALEXANDRIA This happened in Alexandria. priemier port of Egypt, and one of the finest harbors in the world. This harbor is Jarge enough to easily accommodate the entire British Mediterranâ€" ean fleet, in addition to the orâ€" dinary merchant shipping which flies the flags of nearly every maritime nation in the world. Almost the perfect harbor for boating and sailing, of which more another day. . * adrift in boats on the ocean keenly anticipating rescue, only to have ships pass close byâ€" apparently blind.

It is extremely imâ€" portant that you should, but reâ€" member that a person who does not know what to look for is not much use and could be danâ€" gerous. The lookout â€" should know the rules of the road afloat, be able to recognize buoys and realize that small obâ€" jects on the surface of the water, including swimmers, are sometimes difficult to spot. When there is a glare on the water, for example, it is easy to run over a swimmer or pass somebody who needs your help. We have all read of people Beavers . Dukes Canadiens Chicago .

The harbor was usually conâ€" gested with shipping and almost choked with small boat traffic, but by some odd chance on this particular day it was almost empty. In fact I had never seen it so bareâ€"a vast expanse of blue water under a cloudless sky. Miles of space for our little outing. I instructed the coxwain to open up to 25 knots in order to give our visitors a little thrill. This was. a complete change from their usual office routine and they reacted as I expected. . Smilingly the two‘ visitors climbed gingerly out on to the side decks, carefully clutching the cabin handâ€"rails and took up positions with our manager and superintendentâ€" two on each side.

The stem and six feet of forâ€" ward deck had been crushed to splinters, but miraculously we were still floating. The overâ€" hanging stem had taken all the impact and the damage stopped exactly at the waterline. We were even able to get under way and proceed very slowly under our own power after the injured had been removed and the naval boat towed away.

In fact the boat became known as the only one in the world to earry the teeth marks of an admiral. Our boat was in the repair shop for a long time having a complete refit, but eventually she was ready for service again. As I carried out the final in spection one of the seamen drew my attention to the after end of the cabin roof, 1 looked at it closely. On the edge, showing clearly through the new varnish, was a perfect set of teeth marks. The tests revealed that the corner supports of the wheelâ€" house gave the coxswains a blind spot just wide enough to cover another boat approaching at that particular angle. At the speed the boats were travelling, the bearing remained constant, so the risk of collison had existâ€" ed from the time the two boats eame in sight of each other. 5. We were unquestionably at fault, having hit him almost on his red light, but the court was unable to determine why the eoxswains did not see each other. The lunch at the yacht elub was wasted and the Egyptian government promptly lost all interest in the schene we were working on. Orders were promptly issued to alter the wheelhouse of our boat and eliminate the blind spots by replacing the wooden uprights â€" with narrow _ metal supports. This, of course, meant fitting larger windows, In the meantime, however, the admiral had dealt with the problem in @ _ different way. From his hospital bed he had issued an order laying down a 12~ knot speed limits for all boats operating in the harhor and stimplating that a proper lookout must be kept at all times. right angles, both headed blindâ€" ly for the same spot at some 25 knots. Interest had turned to wonder as the boats drew ‘closer and no one seemed to do anyâ€" thing about evasive action. All our coxswain had to do was ease back his throttle, but nothing happened, and the onlookers beâ€" came really puzzled. Not until too late, however, could any of them believe that a collison would occur. 4. Our boat struck the other in the port engine compartâ€" ment, knocking the port engine into the starboard compartâ€" ment and the starboard engine through the far side of the hull. If we had hit him anywhere else we would undoubtedly have sliced him in two and probably killed somebody. > I ‘was therefore instructed to carry out some tests with two similar boats approaching each other at the same angle.

"This decision was arrived at with considerable reluctance beâ€" cause this practice, which has prevailed in the preceding three years, has resulted in a depleâ€" tion of the stabilization reserve by just under a million dollars," Mr. Justice Kelly stated, adding this would leave approximately $500,000 in the stabilization reâ€" serve. .
