Along the Atlantic coast, AZ the
mouths Of the great bays of New YORK
Delaware and Chesapeake, pilotage mas
been brought up to the highest stan
dard possible, fine, seagoing steamers
are employed and hundreds of thou
sands of dollars are annually eXpend-
ed to maintain the efficiency Of the
service.
The evolution Of the Atlantic coast
pilot has been brought about at the
cost Of many lives and great expend'-
ture OF money, while the story affords
some of the most exciting reading OF
history.
Each seaboard state took care of its
own pilotage to the extent Of licens-
ing anyone who could navigate the
harbors. The work YVES arduous, but
It paid handsomely and many young
men were attracted to 1t. Being a
pilot, however, was one thing and
having a boat was another, for 1t was
sometimes necessary to be at sea in all
kinds Of weather.
This drove the pilots together for
mutual benefit. Half dozen or more
would combine, buy or build a small
schooner and seek prizes in deep wa
ter, the last man to bring in the
schooner. 1t would be but a short
time before another half dozen men
would also have a schooner and then
began the days of competition; days
that will ever be remembered for deeds
of daring and even foolhardiness.
AS the number of boats on any one
station increased the little boats would
venture farther seward in their quest
remaining close to the path of ship
ping despite even hurricanes. Often
these little craft have been known to

bottle and terribly shaken, did not lose
his head. He took renewed hope, pro.
cured an tx from the galley and chop
ped his way through the vessels side
and to life.
Stories of heroism among the pilots
nre common. Individually and co..
lective,y they performed deeds en-
titling them to medals yet they never
gave such things a thought Only a
couple of years ago Harvey Cunning
ham, Virginia pilot, r'3ked his life
in boiling surf to save two sailors
after their skin had capsized while
landing on the beach at Cape Henry
A month or 80 later this same man
risked not only his associations steam
er, but the lives of al on board in res.
cuing the yawl yacht Taormins that
was dragging in on the beach in a
heavy sea. On the yacht were thir-
teen men, all OF whom you'd have I'M.
doubtedly been lost.
The Civil War practically put an
end to pilotage all along the coast, for
most of the pilots went into the navies
on the two sides.
At the close OF the war, the resump-
ton OF international trade and the de-
OF steam craft there came a
change in the pilot business, an evo-
luton practically forced by the steam
boat people. No longer they cared to
pick up a pilot twenty or thirty miles

The pilots! What a word oil TO-
nance the very mention of the WORD
centuries to the imaginative MIND VINO
has not read James Fenntmore Coop
ar,s famous sea yarns, anG felt their
blood Jingle as they read the story
of how the seemingly impossible was
accomplished?
And yet those who are today the
pilots of our coast jare just such
sturdy, stalwart men, but were one 10
sav romance to them they would
laugh. even as it is the custom OF
seafaring men to forget the Danger
and toll of a voyage as soon as mar
Dor is reached.
Pilotage is trade that few pur-
sue. not because it is so dangerous
but rather because of the conditions
that prevail to make the present day
pilots a chosen few who exist that our
commerce may be all the more aided
In keeping with the times pilotage
has undergone a great change during
the past forty years, and now 1t has
been placed on a plane where 1t is
business proposition, at the same time
representing a tremendous advance in
the communion of interests.
From the beginning OF the use OF
vessels for transportation there have
been pilots. Thus their calling Is an
old and honorable one. The monarchs
Of the Mediterranean heaped high
donors upon the pilots. They wore the
richest emblems Of Office and they
were looked upon with high esteem.
And we'll that they were for, even in
those days, there was developed the
keen sense of commercialism to the
extent that a vessel would be Of lit
tie value were there not someone to
guide It through the tortuous chan
nels and bring her and her cargo safe
ly home.
Following the pilot who always went
with his ship came the development
of the local pilot, the man who met
ships at the entrance to the port and
carried them in and out again. Grad
ually this system of local pilotage
has expanded until now there Is scarce
ly civilized port in the world where
signal from vessel will not bring
out a pilot.
Great numbers of these local pilots
still employ the most primitive means

quarters of a million pounds per
square foot.
1T is only natural to suppose that
under such pressure the density of the
water would be increased, but labora.
tory experiments have shown that it
is almost impossible to compress wa.
ter At depth of a mile the density
Of sea water is only 1.13O greater than
at the surface.
With this clearly in mind, 1t Is very
evident that an object that would not
float at the surface of the sea could
not float at any intermediate point,
but must surely sink to the bottom;
for it could not displace a greater
weight OF water at the bottom than at
the top, even though the water In the
first case was under much higher pres.
sure. AS matter of fact, any air
filled chambers or compressible matter
in the vessel would be crushed in by
the enormous pressure OF the water,
so that the displacement of the wreck
would be growing less as It went down
and 1t would be falling through the
water at a corresponding accelera-
tion. We must also remember that
steel is much more compressible than
water"

off shore; indeed some OF them de
clined to let the pilots on board until
just off the capes.
In 1868 the pilots of Virginia form
ed an association, taking in all who
were eligible and, in a few years the
example was followed all along the
coast, until competitive pilotsge was a
thing Of history.
1t was the Maryland Association that
took the first great step of departure
from the old and built a steam pilot
boat. In 1880 they had constructed
for them a steel steamer of 1913 tons
ll5 feet long and with 100 horsepower
engines which they named Pilot.
Although steam craft have material.
ly reduced the labor OF the pilots. the
danger is just as great as ever, if not
greater, for the men still have to de-
pend upon their small boats to board
vessels. In lump OF sea when a
huge steamer is rolling it is hazardous
to climb up a rope ladder thirty feet
or more to the deck. AS the huge
hulk rolls the ladder sways outward
and then in again, liable to catch a
man half way up the ladder and dash
him with terrible force against the
iron sides.
Indeed, not so long ago, a New York
pilot, after reaching the deck Of a
steamer, dropped dead, his heart hav.
ing given way under the strain Of the
long climb and the battering he re
ceived. Then. too, against the iron
sides the small boat Is more liable to
be stove In. This is, indeed, mat
ter of frequent occurrence, and there
seldom passes a month but what some
pilot is hauled to the deck soaked to
the skin, to say the least
In winter when the mouths OF the
bays are filled with floating ice the
danger Is greatly increased, but the
greatest Of all perils is fog, Then
for all hands on board, there is main
tanned nerve-racking vigil not only
on deck but in the engine room where
the hand Of the engineer never leaves
the throttle. Right in the path Of ship
ping. with giant steamers moving to
and fro, a collision could mean but one
hing for the pilot boat.
Often in the dead of night there is
4 mad jingle of bells followed by the |
of the engines and the trem-
bling of the whole vessel as the screw
beats the water. Then one Of the look
puts sticks his face in the companion
way and shouts at the top Of his
lungs: "All hands on deck"
Instantly the sleeping men are on
heir feet On their rudely awakened
senses there falls the sound Of the
violent throbbing of the engines. Only
100 well they know what It means
and they rush for the deck, perhaps
lust in time to see huge, dark, tow
ering mass Of iron Craze by the side
IF their boat.
An exchange of compliments is
shouted; a sigh of relief follows; some
me calculates, % close call that"

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

In grandfather day the
American family stayed
pretty much in one place.
1t grew up on the old farm.
or lived in the comfortable
farm house. The children
went not more than mile
to school, and going away
TO college was exceptional.
Travel had not become
general.
But the world has been ex-
tended. Today the typical
American family is scattered
much OF the time. Father
hurries back and forth be-
tween cities on business.
Mother has her own interests,
and goes to meetings, con-
ventions. on visits and iaunts-
These modern conditions
are all good. They mean
broader life and better OPP
portunities. But they also
bring a certain element OF
anxiety and loneliness, due
to separation. Trains are
delayed, epidemics break out
in schools, rumors and alarms
come flying from many di-
rections, very often ground
less, yet causing worry and
fear.
The first resource in such
emergencies should be the
long distance telephone.
The family with the best
realization Of the telephone
possibilities enjoys she great
