PILoTS IND ENGINEERS.


All Who are Licensed to Ply Their No-
cation on the Potomac.
Some days ago TnE CETrc contained an
interview with General Dumont, Supcrvls-
ing Inspector Of Steamboats,, relative to the
charges anonymously made IN morning
paper that certain pilots aud engineers
We're not competent TO perform their duties.
In that interview General Dumont said il
any charges Of incompetence were brought
against any pilot or engineer In the United
States and were substuntiatcd his license
would be revoked. OF course a river pilot
or engineer occupies a position on water
precisely similar TO that which railroad
engineer holds upon land. They have at
their mercy thousands Of valuable lives, and
even false turn Of the wheel on the pilots
part or an inattentiou TO the bell by an Gu
gincer may bring about a disaster that
might change the happiness of many homes
into horror.
Below The Critic prints a complete list
of all pilots and engineers who are licensed
by the Treasury authorities to ply their vo-
cations on the Potomac River and the wa
tiers Immediately adjacent thereto, and
General DumOnt In his desire to make the
service under his control perfect rs far rs
perfection may he attained by responsible
men, guarantees that If any man whose
name Is contained in the list Is proven to be
incompetent or derelict in his duties his H.
cense will be instantly revoked.
