Chronicle. and finished taking evidence
In the case OF Pilot Freeman. who was
N command Of the British ship Cen
tcsima when she struck In North chan
mel ON the 18th, when towing into port
In a heavy sea. The impression seems
TO prevail that Captain Freeman will
be eNonerated from all blame In the
matter. The commissioners have been
over the course taken by Pilot Free
man when the vessel struck, and were
apparently satisfied that he stuck to
the channel, but probably struck on
an unknown rock. Captain Freeman
has been pilot for more than a quar-
ter OF century. and has the reputation
of being one Of the best and most care

II was expected that the commission
would appoint pilot to All the vacancy
created by the dismissal Of Pilot Jones,
who took sudden leave about six weeks

they have taken no action as yet. The
matter was under discussion, however,
and several names were presented and

whether the newly elected president

Fleury was a viveur; SO was Louis
