[From Preface to the Second Edition] .^ IN a review of the first edition of this book a naval officer (and a flag officer withal) said: "I fancy, however, that most naval learners will be content to acquire their instruction from practical experience rather than from a book of this class." It was precisely to obviate this, with its consequent destruction of material and danger to life and limb, that I ventured to place on record the results of my own experience and study. If this officer's principles were generally accepted there would be an end to all text books and treatises by experts. I believe that the use of boat-ropes when lowering boats at sea is not sufficiently known and enforced. And, when we read, in accounts of abandoning ships, of boats being "capsized" on being lowered, I always suspect this of being the cause.
