rhc Louisville Local Inspectors have
submitted their report in the case of the
collision OF the Delegate and the Ella, near
West Franklin, on the 2lst of January last
They find that Smith, the pilot of the Dele
gate was to blame, he, as pilot of the ascend
ing boat having made two sounds, thougl
intending TO make but one. Though ht
made the two sounds, however, he steeret
his boat as if he had made but one, and tn,
consequence was that the boats came in col
lison. The Inspectors suspended Smith:
license for four months.
