Transcriber's Note.

Apparent typographical errors have been corrected. The use of hyphens has been rationalised. Sub-paragraphs and lists have been indented. A line in blackletter font in the dedication has been bolded.

An advertisement for another book by the same author has been shifted to the back of the book.

Chapter XVIII describes the Rules of the Road as they apply to the High Seas and to U.S. Inland Waters. In the original work corresponding passages are set out on opposite pages. In this version the Rules applying to the High Seas are followed by those applying to Inland Waters. Inland Waters are defined in Chapter XIX.
