Amos Slater, well known Seattle |3 COAST GUARD POSITION IS GIVEN, LETTER Commander Billard Tells Boatmen to Heed Signals —Asks Cooperation ) An official communication in the! form of a letter to all amateur mo- torboatmen and yachtsmen from Rear Admiral F. C. Billard, Com- mandant of the U. S. Coast Guard, explaining the duties of the Coast Guard and why it is sometimes ne- cessary to stop and board boats that are apparently pleasure craft was recently received by the local Customs Office. The letter is of interest and great importone: (e all boatmen. It follovs “Since its creation in 17060 the U. 8. Coast Guard has, cach ; i e of its « ined man; ands of vesscls. The Coal is not charged with the inforse. ment of the National Prohibitior Act, but it is charged with the prevention of the smuggling of li quor into the United States from the sea. In the performance of this particular duty, which is nc Constitution of the United States the Coast Guard must stop, board and examine vessels. “Because yachtsmen and amateu: motorboatmen are considered, as @ class, to be law abiding American citizens, yachts and motorboats used solely for pleasure, which may be plainly recognized as such, will not ordinarily be stopped while under- way for boarding and examination by the Coast Guard, unless par- ticularly suspicious curcumstances require such action. “Many small pleasure craft close- 1y resemble, in size and general ap pearance, the boats used by rum It therefore follows that pleasure craft occasionally must be stopped, and possibly boarded, in order that their identity and in- nocent character may be ascer- tained. This need occasion no con- cern or annoyance. All that ir required is that reasonable spiri' of cooperation on the part of those in charge of pleasure craft that surely is expected of all good citi- zens. “Every person in charge of pleas ure craft is supposed to keep ¢ reasonable and proper lookout ove the water in his vicinity. This i hecessary in the interest of gooc navigation and is to be expected o every good sailorman. No persor |is safe to be intrusted with the |navigation of a vessel who doer not. occasionally take a glaner around the horizon. Such a prop- er lookout will readily disclose thc presence of any Coast Guard boa that may be signalling you to stop Caast Guard vessels are easily re- cognized as such and all fly the distinguishing Coast Guard insign The Coast Guard boat will use her whistle, or Klaxon horn, or a meg- aphone, and visual signals, such a waving the arm or a signal flas repeatedly, in order to attract you: attention. If you ignore, or dc not observe, such repeated signals it may be necessary for the Coasl Guard craft to fire blank warning shots. If these fail to produce any result, the Coast Guard vessel i then justified in firing warning shots, well clear of the fleeing craft, and in assuming that she is en- deavoring to escape. “As soon as you observe signal: from a Coast Guard vessel, calling Weather Conditions As Weather Forecast for Juneau and wvici) Cloudy tonight and Thursd: Time 4 p. m. yesl'y . 4 a. m. today Noon today 20.21 30.13 50 Recorded by the U.
