 other on her starboard bow blows two 

 short blasts of her whistle and this sig- 

 nal is answered by a similar signal from 

 the other vessel. Which is the burdened 

 vessel and which the privileged vessel?

 ently made no change in course or speed 

 since you first observed her. Is there 

 any signal which you can make which 

 will indicate to the vessel the presence 

 of your ship? 



What is the fog signal for a power- 

 driven vessel underway, but stopped, 

 and having no way upon her? 



What is the duty of the Officer in 

 Charge of a power-driven vessel upon 

 hearing a fog signal apparently for- 

 ward of the vessel's beam? 



When a vessel is skirting a fog bank 

 but is not herself in the fog, should she

 feet length which is aground in fog? 



What is the rule regarding day sig- 

 nals to be displayed by a fishing vessel 

 at anchor with her gear out? 



How does a fishing vessel indicate to 

 an approaching vessel that she has nets, 

 lines, or trawls out in the daytime? 



What fog signal is required to be 

 sounded by a power-driven vessel having 

 way upon her? 



INTERNATIONAL AND INLAND RULES.

 termine whether International or In- 

 land Rules would govern at entrances 

 from seaward to bays, sounds, or other 

 estuaries? 



Name the lights required for sailing 

 vessels. 



What is the rule regarding speed in

What is the difference in the location 



requirements of the masthead light of

 States? 



Under what circumstances is the 

 privileged vessel required to hold her 

 course and speed? 



At what point in a crossing situation 

 is the privileged vessel bound to alter 

 course or speed? 



What is the only case in which a 

 starboard to starboard passing would 

 be proper for two steam vessels meeting

 the Rules for vessels nearing a bend in 

 a channel where approaching vessels 

 may not be visible?
