The danger may arise from liquefied gases that are poisonous
or inflammable, such as chlorine, hydrocyanic acid, etc.; or gases
carried in cylinders under pressure which may expand with heat
and burst the containers. Leakage of vapour which may form
explosive or inflammable mixtures with air, or substances that
become dangerous on contact with water, calcium preparations
for example, petroleum spirits, etc.

In general, all such goods should be stowed away from foodstuffs
and living quarters, in cool, well ventilated spaces, and if on deck
they should be protected from the rays of the sun. The quantity
of deck goods should not exceed 50 per cent, of the total deck
area. Cylinders containing gases under pressure should be stowed
not less than 8 feet from the ship's side under cover. Dangerous
goods to be distinctively labelled and the nature of the danger,

respective waterplane.
The vertical lines numbered 1, 2, 3, etc., are frame stations,
