105. INLAND ONLY Two power-driven vessels are crossing within a half a mile of each other as shown in illustration D042RR below. Vessel «A» sounds one short blast on the whistle, what does this signal mean?

Vessel A sounding one short blast indicates «I intend to leave you on my port side,» as defined by Inland Navigation Rule 34(a)(i). This rule applies to power-driven vessels meeting or crossing within one-half mile on inland waters, distinguishing it from the International Rules which use different terminology.
