and this Is what learned:
The boys are those who are trying to be-

counts they have a long and weary road to
travel before they become full fledged pilots.
Suppose a young man is afflicted with
the idea that pilots life is the only life
for him, he must then present himself be-
fore the Board Of Commissioners OF Pilots
and prove that he has had some experience
with boats-they find it doesn't pay to take

reason of the hard work he has had to do
and the long wait that stretches before him
before he can become a licensed pilot, hs

boatleaper for At least three years in one
boat During this time he Is taught what
ever he may not already have learned BY
experience about the management ot
steam and sailing boats. the taking OF
soundings and making of charts. and all
kinds OF minute details about shoals, rocks
and bars In the harbor, and the points OF
land and night lights.
Then he must wait his turn TO take this
examination for his first license Since the
law says that no more than one pilot shall
be made from each boat in each term OF
five years, and limits the total number OF
New York pilots to $50, he may have TO
serve an apprenticeship OF eight or nins
years before he even gets a chance TO take
