THE STEAMERS HARD CASH AND IL
LIMOS COLLISION.
U. S. Local INsPEcroRs' OFFICE, |
MEMPHIS, February q, 1878.
From the testimony in a case of
collision between the steamers
Hard Cash and Illinois, on the 9th
day of January, 1878, on the Mis-
sissippi river, near the head Of
Island No. SO, and upon a full ex-
animation of pilots John H. Porter
and John S. Cummings, both were
found guilty of noncompliance
with rule 2, governing pilots. Pr
lot j. S. Cumming, of the steamer
Illinois, gave his signal at the dis
lance of 500 yards from the other
steamer. Rule 2 directs that should
steamers be likely to pass near each
other, the signal must be given be-
fore having arrived at the diytance
of 800 yards from each other. Pr
lot ]. H.. Porter failed TO comply
with rule 2, inasmuch as he an
swered the first signal of the
steamer Illinois, but changed it
Immediately to the other side. Rule
2 directs that "dQnbts of misunder-
standing signals shall be expressed
by several short sounds Of the whis-
tie in quick succession" The board
of supervising inspectors have estab-
liShed such regulations to be OBJ
served by all steam vessels in pass
ing each other, and having in this
case neglected to observe these rules,
pilots j. s. Cummings and J. H.
Porter have each been fined in the
sum OF fifty dollars, in accordance
with section 4413 of the revised
statutes of the United States of laws
governing the steamboat inspection
service. Jos. A. GRoNAUER,
