nautically dubbed "a guide boat" and
she usually flies the house flag Of the

The innovation is not intended as any
reflection upon the efficiency of the pilot,
bat the grounding Of a Mauretania, an

the expenditure Of an enormous sum to
set her free, and the lines willingly incur
the outlay o. the additional tugboat

On several recent occasions. the Sandy

finder in bringing in liners that were
