 perhaps than all is the universal rule that _all_
boats must keep a _good lookout_, and the following verse indicates
this:

                    Both in safety and in doubt
                    Always keep a good lookout
                    Should there not be room to turn
                    Shift your helm and pass astern.

The last line is most important. _Never_ under _any_ circumstances
attempt to _cross the bows_ of another moving vessel. If you do and
accident occurs it will be your own fault. A boat crossing another’s
bows _always does so at her own risk_. No matter how you are heading, no
matter how much of a hurry you may be in, no matter how much trouble it
may involve, if you are approaching another boat of any kind so that
your course will cross hers, remember the last verse and _shift your
helm and pass astern_.

Another very important matter for all boat sailors to learn is the
meaning of the various buoys, beacons, lights and other guide-boards of
the sea. In small boats these are often of little importance for one may
sail hither and thither without paying much attention to channels, but
even in the smallest of sailboats there is a danger of running on reefs,
rocks or shoals if one does not know what the guiding marks mean.

In nearly every port, harbor, or other navigable body of water, except
in the open ocean, there are buoys. To the landsman these appear as so
many red, black or parti- sticks or metal cylinders, but to the
sailor every one has a definite meaning and he knows that if he proceeds
according to the route marked by the buoys he is perfectly safe.

There are two general classes of buoys, known as _channel buoys_ and
_danger buoys_. The first are used to mark lanes or channels for boats
and are always black or red in color. _All_ the red buoys are placed on
one side of the channel and _all_ the black buoys on the other side and
every boat, when coming in from sea or _moving towards the land should
keep the red buoys on her right or starboard side_ and all the _black
buoys on her port or left hand_. When going _out_ of the harbor or _away
from land, the red
perhaps than all is the universal rule that _ all _ 
 boats must observe a _ beneficial lookout _, and the following verse indicates 
 this:

                     Always keep a adept lookout 
                     Should there not be room to plow 
                     Shift your helm and evanesce astern. 

 The last line is about important. _ Never _ under _ any _ circumstances 
 attempt to _ cross the bow _ of another moving vessel. If you do and 
 accident occurs it will be your own fault. A boat traverse another ’s 
 bows _ always does indeed at her own risk _. No matter how you are heading, no

 may involve, if you are approaching another boat of any kind so that 
 your course will cross hers, commend the last verse and _ shift your

 Another very important matter for all boat sailors to learn is the 
 meaning of the various buoys, beacons, lights and other guide - boards of 
 the sea. In minor boats these are often of short importance for one may 
 sail hither and thither without paying much attention to channels, but 
 even in the little of sailboats there is a danger of running on reef, 
 rocks or shoals if one does not know what the guiding marks mean. 

 In closely every port, harbor, or other navigable body of urine, except 
 in the open ocean, there cost buoys. To the landsman these appear as so 
 many crimson, black or parti- sticks or metal cylinder, but to the 
 sailor every one has a definite meaning and he knows that if he proceeds 
 accord to the route grade by the buoys he is perfectly dependable.
