MORE OF THE JERSEY LoAFERs.-Now that the
near approach of winter leads US TO expect severe
weather. storms and shipwrecks it becomes our duty
TO call the attention of the mercantile com nuny, TO
the system of pioagei in and out Of oar harbor The
New York pilots are bound by the laws of this State,
to keep sufficient number of good boats afloat for
the business Of plotting. In the building and fitting
cut of these boats the hardy and intelligent pilots OF
New York have expended over $4,000 and they al
always have plenty of them out at sea- TO supply all
vessels with pilots, without calling in the aid of the
loafing Jersey fishermen. Our New ork pilots have
frequently boarded vessels at sea from fifty to one
hundred miles from the hight house, aad brought them
safe into harbor Yet when they have laterly APP
piled the merchants in order to carry their vessels
out, the answer has been" see you Id frst-you
shouldn't pilot my vessel if you took her out for
nothing. l love opposition, and 10 encourage opposi-
tlon, mean to employ none but Jerseymen"
Now it is well know that a New York pilot has to
serve an apprentice Of from five to years TO the
business he is all this time under the of expert
enced and competent pilots; he s constantly risking
his life and is constantly learning important points in
his profession. Ifhc serves his apprenticeship faith
fully, he is examined by competent men-if found
worthy, he is installed pilot. How outrageous
then 10 set aside such men and employ oystermen,
fishermen and set Of long shore" loafers who
have hardly any breeches and who have less brains
Why are the loafers of New Jersey TO be allowed
thus to trample on the laws of the State Of New
York New Jersey has much right to send US
harbor masters and port wardens to furnish pilots
to take vessels from wharves.
That they are competent, no one will be stupid
as to assert On the 26th umo, one of these Jer-
sey loafers ran the barque Louisa ashore at Sandy
Hook-the brig Aquaa was run ashore at Rockaway
by another Jersey oafer. Both Of these vessels still
lie in dangerous situation. The ship MogM was
run ashore on the same day by of these oafers-
after humping violently she got off and found
be making foot and half of water an hour. She is
now lying at the wharf and still continues to Leak
And yet these fellows preferred by few to the
New York pilots. We must have the legislature IN
terere and put stop to il, meeting of the insu-
rance Offices will do better.
Is il sufferable, after ship has made safe pas
sage through dangerous navigation as the Gut OF
Canso TO be run ashore and lost in sight Of port by
Jersey loafer
Birds OF feather flock together and the loafing edi-
tors of Wall street countenance these Jersey loafers
But the day of reckoning is at hand and this winter
will bring them up all standing with round turn.
