Steam schooner Majestic arrived Off the mouth
Of the river this morning with pilot flag flying
and remained there for several hours awaiting
one. Finally. as none appeared, the Majestic
followed the steamer State Of California in.
The reason for the flag flying that the Ma
jeSfic had a captain. who had never been
in before. and the regulations OF the inspectors
are that he should have pilot on the first trip.
The reason why there were no bar pilots avail
able was that the pilot schooner Joseph Pulitzer
IS at Portland for repairs. The next question is
whether the port Of Portland will attempt to col
lect pilotage from the vessels owners because Il
had pilot Gag hoisted.
