which occurred on Green River, near
Hatchett's tobacco landing, on the |
night of February ?, 1869, by which a
boat containg 3 600 bushels Of coal was
sunk. They arrive at the decision /
that the pilot ofthe Ada Lyon, Thos.
Suttlemeier, was 10 fault, aud sus-
pended his license as pilot for thirty
days. They also express the opinion
