Quarantine Rule.

Within three days two vessels flying
the quarantine flag have been allowed
TO enter the harbor and anchor In
naval row alongside clean ships. This
in the opinion of many. Is not the right
action on the part OF che physician
who boards incoming sailing vessels
It is thought that If in the opinion
of the physician il is necessary to bt
on the safe side by declaring a vesse
in quarantine the declaration should
be carried out by having the vessel re-
main at anchor outside The harbor in.
stead of bringing her into the bay and
putting her alongside of the other yes
sells in Naval Row.
The NJ. Z. Grace. from Sydney, fol
no other reason than that she was
from Sydney. was quarantined on Fri.
day last by DIR. Emerson. She had lef'
Sydney 81 days before arriving here
Her crew had been remarkably vel
and no case OF sickness of any kind
had developed during the long voyage
She was placed in quarantine. moored
in naval row and all communication
with shore forbidden. The Custom
House officials were told not TO board
her until Il was decided what action
the Board OF Health would take. The
Board raised the quarantine imposed
by DR.. Emerson.
Yesterday the baukentine John
Smith. twenty-three days from Port
Blakely with lumber, arrived and was
boarded by the pilot and DR. Emerson
way outside the harbor. The slight
illness of the Japanese cabin boy was

son. The mans temperature was
above the normal and he had pimples.
The vessel was placed IN Quarantine
and the yellow flag hossted before she
entered the harbor. Instead OF being
ordered to remain outside the doctor
permitted her to enter and she was
moored in naval row between two
sugar ships almost ready to leave. The
captain of the vessel protested against
the action OF DR.. Emerson but IL was
no use. He claims that the japanese
is suffering from prickly heat and was
only taken sick on Saturday
The New Pilot.
Speculation is rife among the ship
ping men as to who will be made the
fourth pilot. The position has lately
been created and several very compe-
tent men have made application for the
billet. The increasing Importance of
the shipping here has made IL necessary
for the employment of the extra man.
Several times within the last year four
or even five pilots might have had their
hands full with arriving and depart
ing vessels. II is understood that
among the applicants for the position
are three captains of island steamers
besides a skipper of one OF the Spreck-
els vessels. The board of examiners
is soon to be appointed and from the
men passing the highest examination
the selection will be made
