Fixed Meeting Points for Opposing Trains. (1.) will meet at . (2.) will meet at at (and so on).' Examples. ((1) No 1 will meet No 2 at Bombay. Ho 3 will meet 2d No 4 at Siam. No 5 will meet Extra 95 at Hong Kong. Extra 652 North mil meet Extra 231 South at Yokohama. (2) No 1 will meet No 2 at Bombay 2d No 4 at Siam and Extra No .9.5 at Hong Kong.

May not No. 2 proceed to B when they receive the last order, on the supposition that No. 1 must not leave there and because Order No. 2 is a later order? Axswer. No; No. 1 is quite as likely to misunderstand and proceed to C under the first order, on the theory that as the words "instead of" do not appear in the second order, the first order governs.
