SCHEDULE.

(e.) To insure that the red and green side-lights shall
show an uniform light from right ahead of the ship to two
points abaft the beam on the port and starboard sides re-
spectively, and shall not show across the bow of the ship
itself, the said lights must be fixed and the screens fitted so
that the rays from the red and green lights shall cross the
line of the ship's keel projected ahead of the ship at a reason-
able distance ahead of the ship.
With regard to all vessels whose lights are inspected by
the officers of the Board of Trade, the red or green side-light
will not be deemed to be fixed and fitted in accordance with
the regulations unless it is so fixed and screened that a line
drawn from the outside edge of the wick to the foremost end
of the inboard screen of such light shall make an angle of
4 degrees, or as near thereto as may be practicable, with a line
drawn parallel with the keel of the ship from the outside
edge of the wick.
