of comprehensive mind has been closely

Nautical Gazette, July &C.:
A collector of customs asked the Treasury
Department whether two persons, each hay
Ing d license as master, and neither having a
license as mate, serving one as master ana
one as mate on passenger and freight steam
ers-would such steamer be deemed to have
q full complement of licensed officers 2" And
the same collector asks if he would be au-
thorized to grant register, enrolment or IL
cense to said vessel.
ut The departments response Is as follows:
You are informed in reply that a masters
license bears the same relation to mate IL
cense as that of a chief engineer or Chief pilot
TO the grades below them, respectively, and
IN officer holding a license OF the higher
class would be lawfully qualified to act in q
capacity OF the grade below, and the vessel
would, so far as the officers named are con-
I cerned, have full complement Of licensed
officers
an reply to the last clause OF your ques-
ton we are informed that you would not be
authorized to withhold a license from
steamer unless upon a failure to pay the fees
provided in section 442s. Revised Statutes. A
failure on the part Of any steamer To carry
full complement of officers as required by sec
ton 4468, Revised Statutes, would subject
eaid steamer to penalty Of $500, In which
case proceedings should be made in the man
her provided in section 4499, Revised Statutes
A You are further informed that it would be
advisable in all cases of doubt In regard TO-
what may be deemed full complement o. y
otficers upon any particular steamer that, II
time will allow, you consult the supervising
or local inspectors Of the district, and ne gov
erned by their Judgment In the matter.
