served The committee on Telegraph

PEABODY SUSPENDED FOR
HAVING STRANDED SHIP
Loses Government Position and Can
not Command in Merchant Marine
for Six Months

The masters license of Captain
Thomas Peabody was suspended yes
terday for six months by United States
Local Inspectors Bolles and Bulger for
having allowed the United States army
transport Sheridan to strand on reef
near BARRIERS Point island of Oahu, on
August 81, 1906. This suspension does
not affect Captain Peabody so long as
he may be employed in the Govern
ment service. the local inspectors hav-
ing no jurisdiction over Government
vessels. but the Judgment would be-
come operative between yesterday and
six months hence should he attempt to
act as master OF a merchant ship
Captain Peabodys defense before the
inspectors was that the reef on which
the Sheridan struck was not on the
chart and that therefore he was not
to blame for the mishap. But the
Army Department at Washington has
removed Captain Peabody from his po-
sition. and unless he can get another
appointment from the Government or
ship as mate on a merchant vessel he
must take halfyear's vacation.
