:, allowed to proceed to the city.
can't Wagle was well known in shipping
,,rcss. having been here number of
Zines His many friends will regret to
earn Of his death.
rrited States Local Inspectors Lee and
r,,qerald have received from Supervising
,..oector General Dumont, a circular af-
ling the naval reserves. 1t allows those
-,,are applicants for license as master
nlot of steam vessels of the naval mill
Mo after passing an examination for coll
,r.bindness, to also pass an examination
,r The Inspectors as to their knowledge of
Daot rules and general knowledge of wa
ss etc. If qualified, there may be
,r,rtel special license as such master
A. r'ot only on the waters of the district
rberein examined. Any applicant for Ii
onse as chief engineer or assistant of
s,sam vessels of the naval militia may
.so be examined and be granted a special
license as such, and Cor no other purpose.
The object of the amended rules is to all
+ og the naval militia 10 supply their own
masters or pilots and engineers; but such
|Nosnses as are granted will be without
/ avail. so far as commercial business is
Concerned.
At the late meeting in Washington of the
s1pervising inspectors of steam vessels,
IN which all the districts were represent
I'd rule was adopted providing for the
TceDsing of engineers on boats equipped
4 with gasoline engines. Such licenses will
not permit their employment on vessels
using steam engines.
A very important rule adopted by the
general board is as follows:
Amy person may be licensed as engin-
Ger ION form 213012) on vessels propelled
by gas, fluid, naphtha or electric motors,
Of fifteen tons gross or over, engaged in
commerce, If in the judgment of the inspec-
tors, after due examination in writing he
be found duly qualified to take charge of
the machinery of vessels so propelled
Heretofore persons licensed to act as
engineers for craft propelled by other mo-
tive power than steam had also to pass an
examination for running boats propelled
by the latter. Now il is different. The
object for making such a change is that
it requires but little knowledge to run a
vessel propelled either by gas, naphtha or
electric motors.
Here is another important item to river
men:
ANY person owning a pleasure yacht of
fifteen tons and under navigated for pleas
uTe only holding a master or pilot license,
is fully authorized to navigate his own
pleasure yacht cruising in the inland wa
tiers of the United States, without being
required to report to the various boards
Of inspectors whose districts they may be
passing through"
Another rule important to steamboat men
is the following:
1T shall be the duty of all inspectors
before granting an original license or re-
newing an existing one to master or pi-
lot Of steam vessels for any waters, to
satisfy themselves by an examination in
Writing, that such officers are thoroughly
familiar with the pilot rules upon the wa
ters for which they are licensed"
The important feature of this is that
part relating TO the renewal. In the past
such licenses were granted without a writ
len examination.
