The vocation of Miss Jennie Via
cent, the woman pilot of San Pedro
harbor, has attracted much attention
from eastern tourists in southern CAL
ifornia Miss Vincent Is probably the
only woman steam-pilOt in the world,
and II she had not emigrated west from
her paternal home for generations at
Marblehead, Mass. she would NO doubt
be now engaged in some New England
town in a pursuit that has been w0m-
ans for ages. She is a slight. blue
eyed. light-haired. cheerful little lady
of about % years. Her two elder
brothers came to California to engage
in the new industry of sardine packing
on the Pacific coast. She came later
to keep house for them. Financial re-
verses came upon the brothers. and
Miss Vincent. having NO more house
to keep after the sheriff had had his
sale, looked about for some employ
ment in her new western home. She
had always lived by the sea at Marble
head and had been with an uncle for
days at a time on q steam craft Of
which he was the engineer. From her
girlhood she had known how machin-
cry in small propeller steamboats, IL
operated. and she had many times tried
her hand at plotting for her uncle. So.
when financial clouds lowered over the
Vincent cottage at San Pedro. Miss
Jennie resolved to become . pilot on
the harbor there. She studied naviga-
ton, learned the laws Of pilotage and
meanwhile earned some money ~
pilot for a little tug in the harbor.
Last September she passed an exam
ination required by the state board Of
pilot commissioners, and last January
she held her certificate ~ . second
class pilot She has in the past few
months piloted Pacific coast ships into
San Diego and San Pedro harbOrs.
Miss Vincent makes from $50 to $3.50
a month as a pilot. and her ambition
Is to become SO expert In 4 few years
that she may pass an examination to
do first-class plotting in San Francisco
bay, where she believes she can then
make several hundred dollars q month.
The pilot fees in California are $5 per
foot on the draught Of the craft and
also cents per ton OF merchandise.
There are many vessels Of 5000 tons
that come into San Francisco bay. and
the pay for them is 3220 each.-New

Piscatorial cranks are just now pa
rading their knowledge ON the subject
of fish talk. 1t is freely admitted that
fish that utter sounds are not rare to
. remarkable extent; but to translate
these sounds into the English or any
other language and be able to appre-
ciate the feelings of the denizens Of
the deep at various thrilling stages of
their uncertain careers is beyond the
ken Of ordinary mortals. We are told
that q fisherman out at sea landed
strange fish in his boat, and that the
fnny captive Immediately opened its
mouth and began to grunt and groan
80 loudly as to attract attention. The
fisherman took 1t up and was 20 con-
WINGED that 1t was talking and beg
ging for liberty that ne tossed It back
into the brine. More musical than the
noise made by any hsh IL said to be
that of the eel. while the loudest
sound uttered by fish IL that Of the
doghsh. Both the Iungdsh and the
drumfish utter singular barking sounds
of peculiar resonance, and whales have
been known to cry out as II for help
when they have been stranded. OF the
salmon and the trout little has been
learned. SO far as hsh-talk on their
part is concerned, but this may be due
in q measure to the fact that the man
with the rod has never felt inclined
to devote his ear to patient listening
Of q well-stocked stream. II these
favorite fish could talk. what tales
they might unfold! What regulations
might they blast! Perhaps 1t is best
for US all that the trout is not gifted
with eloquence, like the eel and gix-
zard-shad. Perhaps, too. It were bet
ter for us to continue ON merely .
glancing acquaintance. a astronomical
acquaintance. II fishes talk they might
even betray US to ourselves and take
away from us the Joy of our own de-
ceptions. Nevertheless. It Is . Qaes-
tion for debate whether the noises
produced by certain fish can Be con-
sidered as . language. or as express
sions of the emotions, fraught with
meaning. Without a doubt We shall
soon be in receipt Of batch Of COM
munications from mountain resorts
and watering-paces, throwing light ON
the matter of fish-talk, and 1t Is not
