and to issue licenses to the captains,
mates and engineers who are able to
pass the necessary examinations.
Those who cannot pass the examina-
lions will have to be laid off.
The certificates for steamers which
will be issued by the Federal officials
will give the number of passengers such
vessels may carry.
! Employees of the inter-Isiand steam
ship companies will read the following
section of the law with great interest.
1t concerns captains and is similar to
those sections in regard to mates, en-.
gineers and pilots:
Whenever any person applies to be
licensed as master of any steam vessel,
OK of sail vessel of over seven hundred
tons, the inspectors shall make diligent
inquiry as to his character, and shall
carefully examine the applicant as well
as the proofs which he presents in sup
port of his claim, and if they are salts
fed that his capacity, experience, habits
of life, and character are such as war
rant the belief that he can be safely in
trusted with the duties and responsible
ties of the station for which he makes
application, they shall grant him a IL
Icense authorizing him to so discharge
such duties on any such vessel for the
term of five years; but such license shall
BE- suspended or revoked upon satisfac-
tory proof of bad conduct, Incorporate
habits, incapacity, inattention to his du-
ties, or the wiliful violation of any pro-
vision of this title applicable to him.
Both the Inter-Island Steam Naviga-
ton Company and Wilder's Steamship
Company have been making prepara-
lions for the coming of the inspectors.
They have given their captains, mates
and engineers every opportunity to
study and it is thought that if any fail
to pass the examinations the number
will be very small.
The hulls of the steamers are to be
tested, the engines examined and it
will be seen to by the Federal officials
that lifeboats, life preservers, pumps
and SO forth are as they should be &C
|, cording to law.
All steamers will be inspected once
, a year at least, after the first inspec-
ton has been made. All sailing vessels
of over 700 tons register will be sub
| ject to the same examination and YES
sells of over 100 tons register, if they
carry passengers, will also have to be
examined.
