-. .isg Whereas, It is a fact well know thar
the signal lights used on many Of the steam
ers on the Western and Southern rivers, are
of such character, and placed in such a po-
sition, that it is difficult to distinguish them
from thesordinary lights on the steamer OF
on shore; and it being highly necessary
that the pilots of steamers should be ena-
bled to ascertain with certainty that the
lights seen by them are those of a steamer
that they may make at the proper time the
signals required by the pilot rules for steam
ere meeting and passing each other; and
also, that the signal may, in some degree
indicate the course the steamer is heading
iti therefore ~ dA'5Jo Hra EitJ
Resoiped,T IstI THAT the following be ana
is hereby made a part of the rules and reg
ulations for the government of pilots EN-
spIoyed on all steamers running on the river
