SPLENDID WORK
Of THE PILOTS
Demands of the Situation
Met Under All
Conditions.
Commerce of the Port
Is Now Practically
Restored.

The pilots for the port of San Francisco
did efficient and heroic work in the recent
emergency and much of the credit for the
immediate restoration of the commerce Of
the port is due to their fidelity and en-
terprise. In providing food for the hun
CRY, shelter for the homeless and care
for the helpless no men were more
prompt and hur1ane than the pilots The
boats Lady Mine. Pathfinder. America
ard Oracle S were crowded with refu-
gees. The pilot-boat Lady Mipe. being
on duty at the bay station when the
calamity occurred bore the br.at Of car
ing for the unfortunate. Other boats
coming in from sea in the regular roE-
tine shared in the relief measures.
In all the stress and turmoil OF the
period the pilots did not neglect the sery-
ice Incoming and outgoing ships were
provided with pilots. as the law directs
but no piIotage charges were made
against vessels bearing relief eontribu-
tions.
The splendid work performed along the
water front by employees Of the State
Harbcr Commissioners and by men in
the employ Of the tugSoat owners and
steamship companies. reinforced as they
were Dr titt OItlC4 CtlAtc navy SdN ~
the valuable docks OF San Francisco
from destruction IN fact the commerce
Of San Francisco by reason of the pres
ervation of the wheryes is practically
restored. The outlook for great activity
in shipping circles is bright. San Fran
cisco is still without rival in her fa-
cIlities for taking care Of ships and
handling the commerce of the sea
The earthquake shocks of April IS
wrecked the building at sS7 Washington
street. where the Offices of the State
Board of Pilot Commissioners and the
pilots were temporarily located. Few
months prior TO that time the records
were removed from the old Merchants
Exchange building. corner Of Washing
ton and Battery streets, 50 that repairs
TO the historic structure might be made.
The building at i57 Washington street
was of nimsy construction and when
il collapsed under the pressure Of the
quake several lives were lost. Later the
fire spread over the ruins and all the
accumulated records Of the pilots for half
a century were destroyed. Prompt meas
ures were taken TO procure new books
of record and il may be possible 20 hnd
in the archives at Sacramento Gocu-
ments that will enable the Commission
ers to restore in some degree the lost
data.
Two of the pilots-Stephen Castle. cor
ner Jones and Chestnut street. and Frank
Boyd. 222 Golden Gate avenue-Iost tne.r
homes by fire. Pilots George E. Wallace
who lived at the St. Nicholas. and N
B. Jordan at the Alexander lost much
of their personal property in the aar1es
The temporary Office OF the Commission
ers and the pilots is at pier :. foot OF Pa
cific street All OF the boats are in ac-
tive service.
