Fog

Every vessel must. In a fog, mist, falling snow, or heavy rain storm, go at a moderate speed, having careful regard to the existing cirqumstances and conditions; The Nacoochee, 137 U. S. 330, 11 Sup. Ct 122, 34 L. Ed. 687. A speed of six miles per hour is excessive for a steamer in a dense fog, where she is emerging from New York harbor and is likely to meet vessels from many points of the compass; The Martello, 153 U. S. 64, 14 Sup. Ct. 723, 38 L. Ed. 637. The owner of a sailing vessel cannot substitute for the fog-horn which she is required by the sailing regulations to carry, an instrument blown by steam, and in their opinion more efficient than the fog-horn; The Parthian, 55 Fed. 426, 5 C. C. A. 171, 6 U. S. App. 314. See The Martello, 153 U. S. 64, 14 Sup. Ct. 723, 38 L. Ed. 637. A vessel is not properly equipped at sea which has no spare mechanical fog-horn; The Trave, 65 Fed. 117. A steamer failing to slack its speed in a fog is at fault in case of collision; 6 U. S. App. 314; 1 id. 614; The Lawrence, 54 Fed. 542, 4 C. C. A. 501; The Fulda, 52 Fed. 400; [1892] Prob. 105.
