THE FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE HARBOR.
(To the Editor of the Evening 3tar). Sib,—Would you or Pilot Bayldon answer me tho following questions:— 1. Is it not Dl rule all over the world
when a pilot boards a vessel to have the way of the vessel stopped, the captain of the vessel to back his main topsail? 2. If the pilot's boat was not launched, why did he not wait until he could have
had it lannehed? 3. Is there not an
action at law by the pilot when a captain of a Teasel passes without anchoring ? 4. Does, the pilot consider it safe to make fast to a Tessel point; three knots through the Water with a flood tide, which would make the speed of the vessel at least five knots, and this in an unsafe boat? —I
W. H. Wakbham.
