Hsvy.-By the act of March 2, 1893, the revs-
nue. cutters may be ordered by the President
| to cooperate with the Navy, and shall then
be under the direction of the Secretary Of the
Navy, and the expense be betrayed by the
Navy Department. -

Of the revenue cutters, If wounded or dis.
abled while cooperating with the Navy by
order Of the President, are entitled (by the
act of April Is, 1sl4,) to be placed on the
Navy pension list, under the same regulations
and restrictions as officers and seamen Of the
Navy.
