Passage 59. Typical Sentences
Accurate loading and discharge tallies should be made. These can be carried out either by the ship’s personnel or by professional tallying companies. At ports where tallying is known to be of poor quality, and if large quantities of cargo are involved, it is recommended that the crew perform an additional tally of the cargo as it is discharged from the vessel. Often the only tally that is recognized as evidence of the quantity discharged, is that performed by the official tallying organization at the port of discharge. If that situation exists, it is vitally important that those who may be carrying out an independent不相关的 tally on behalf of the carrier should, if possible, work closely with the official tally clerks理货员.

Passage 65 Weather Information for Ships
39
Major coast radio stations all over the world transmit，at regular intervals （时间间隔）and in
code，weather information for ships within range. Weather information consists of ten parts，of which ships usually make use of three，that is，warning，synoptic situation （大势）and forecast.

As terrible（恶劣的） weather is predicted（预报），ships can take precautions beforehand（预先），by delaying （推迟）the voyage or seeking shelter（寻找避护处） in a safe place. If there is a high sea or a long swell，they can take some measures to safeguard the cargo and the ship.

Passage 66 The Tropical Storm
A tropical storm is not so extensive（大范围的） as the depression （低压）of higher latitudes but，within 75 miles or so of the center，the wind is often far more violent（激烈的），and the high and confused seas（狂浪和不规则的狂涛） near the center may cause considerable（相当大的） damage to large and well-found（设备完善的） ships，while small vessels (for example，destroyers驱逐舰) have foundered（翻沉）. The danger is still greater when ships are caught in restricted waters without adequate room to maneuver. Within 5 to 10 miles of the center the wind is light or moderate and variable，the sky is clear or partially so，and there is a heavy（巨大的浪，sometimes mountainous（排山倒海似的浪），confused swell. This area is known as the \of the storm. After passing through the relatively windless center of the storm the wind will suddenly，and with great violence，commence to blow from a direction opposite to that experienced on the other side of the windless center.
