 conveniently from the head of the ladder into the ship or on 

 to the ship's deck. 

 (/) If necessary spreaders shall be provided at such intervals as will 

 prevent the ladder from twisting. 



C?) At night a light shining overside shall be available and used and the 

 deck at the position where the pilot boards the ship shall be 

 adequately lit. 



{Ii) Ships with rubbing bands or other ships whose construction makes it 

 impossible to comply fully with the provision that the ladder shall 

 be secured at a place where each step will rest firmly against the 

 ship's side shall comply with this provision as closely as possible.
