H. That an. extra man be employed in each stokehold during the time in port when men are engaged cleaning the inside of boilers, or in tank ends of furnaces, to safeguard the possibility of accidents. I. Where, in loading or unloading a ship, any obstruction prevents the bull-rope man being in full, clear, and continuous view of the winchrnan, an extra man shall be employed who shall be in full view of both winchrnan and bull-rope man, and whose sole duty shall be to communicate signals from winchrnan to bull-rope man and vice -versa. The above recommendations were decided upon by me after hearing the opinions of the members of the Commission. They are not unanimous decisions. 22nd July, 1918. Thomas M. Wilford.
