Abstract
A few hours after reading the above article in the October Journal an incident occurred which highlighted the dangers indicated by Captain Kemp. At night, but in clear weather and deep water, and with no navigational hazards, a ship was reported at Green 30, 3 miles, with a C.P.A. of 2 cables to starboard. This was unnecessarily and dangerously close and the officer-of-the-watch (a relatively inexperienced watchkeeper) proposed standing on to 1 mile and then altering 10 degrees to port to open the range.
