No, sir. Q. Are you familiar with the eighth rule of the pilot rules of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts inland waters ? Digitized by Google 72 A. Yes, sir. Q. What is that rule, as you remember it, when vessels are running in the same direction ? A. Vessels running in the same direction, and one ves- sel overtaking another, one is to keep out of the way of the overtaken vessel. The overtaken vessel is to keep her course at all times, and if he wants to go to the right he blows one blast of the ...whistle; if he wants to go to the left, he blows two blasts. Q. As a notice that he wants to pass you ? A. Yes, sir. Q. Had you any notice that this vessel wanted to pass you? A. No, sir. Q. Was there any room in the Schuylkill, if the Barrett had desired to pass you, to pass you, except upon the west- ward side of you, or port side? A. There wasn't room to pass to the eastward, I don't think. Q. At any rate, he gave you no signal to pass either to the right or left ? A. No, sir. Q. Did you give any signals that you would allow him to pass you?
