OUR PILOTS. LIFE ON THE OCEAN WAVE. The Romance of a Pilot’s Lite. Their Pay, Their Boats and Their Dangers. The Working of the Law—Keon Competition the Life of the Profession—The Hell Gate Pilots. All who have travelled the ocean know the in- terest which is felt in the pliot, The passengers make up pools among themselves as to what hour he will arrive or what his number may be. When at length he comes aboard there is a feeling of re- Itef, for his presence is a guarantee that the good | ship 1s near port. f But, alter all, what is @ pilot? How few of us | know beyond the fact that his auty is to take the | vessel intoport, But what of the dangers, hard- ships, romance and rewards of his position, This is a mystery to most people. We all have infinite trust in him and his judgment; but why? Whac do we know more of him excepting that he ts the pilot and @ not generally very seductive person | in his general make up? And yet there is a feeling towards this unpresentable man whicn we do not feel for the captain, with all his gold lace and his suavity. It is no doubt that, with those who are returning, the pilot is the first sight of home. We could take him imour arms and hug him, so mighty pleasant is our feeling toward him. With those who come toa strange | land it is the first glimpse of the uoknown—of America, the land of ideality, of prosperity, of hope. For all that a pilotis just like other men. But then he brings the papers to some and always some pleasant gossip of what has taken place in the great world of news from which the vessel has been separated for so many days. Let us take a glimpse into the life of these men who are such welcome guests. THE LIFE. The life of a pilot isa hard onein almost every respect, and with few of the pleasures which attend other trades or professions. A pilot’s work is unceasing; there is no rest for him, in storm and in tempest, in calm, his duty is to be on the sea and pick up the inbound vessel. No weather must deter him, and no danger, Or itis when dan- ger is greatest that his presence is most needed, There is aromance in the life, in the eternal battle ‘with the elements, the unceasing dwelling on the | ocean, and like sailors these men come to love the gea as sailors do. But with the pilots it is not simply buffeting the waves which is his worst | chance. His responsibility overpowers everything else. He has absolute charge day alter day of | Millions’ worth of property, not one penny’s worth of which must receive injury while in his hands, He by his very position guarantees absolute safety. | to ships which are in his care, and all, even the captain, retire before his omnipotent word tor the time being. Then, the day alter bringing a veszel | into port, out again on the ocean wave, peering through the mist as through the darkness for more inward bound vesseis, and ready to pick up | the first that comes, to bring her into port arfd re- turn once more. And this time after time, from year’s end to year’s end, without cessation, With this kind ot life it is no wonder he becomes the rough, hardy, weather-beaten veteran he is, and always ready to meet death in the discharge of his duty, THE BOATS., The pilot Doats, which we may recognize by the ! big figures paintea on their mainsails, now and then in the bay, coming up or going down, num- ber in all twenty-eight belonging to New York. The New Jersey pilots have about a quarter that number, These twenty-eight boats are, above all, stanch, and as fast as they can be made con- sistent with strength. Like their owners, these ‘oats must be able to stand the most tempestuous weather without flinching, It 1s a mistake, there- fore, to compare them, as to speed, with tie pleasure yachts, in which speed is the first desideratum, and which is often obtained at the expense of seaworthtness. The pilot boata only use good, strong, serviceable Bails, and their rig is generally shorter than yachts. The tonnage of these boats runs from forty to sixty tons—nov over. With these Bmali crait the men go out into the worst storms, always confident and always ready for work. No Bet of men on salary would do what they do, which proves the wisdom of the system of paying them for what work they accomplish and nothing more. In these pilot boats there are generally two or three men who ciub together to get one, as their means don’t permit them to own one alone, and in any Case it is undesirabvie. On the contrary, two or three other pilots ure taken in very willingly, wno pay their share of the maintenance of the boat and take their share of the profits ac cruing from its Tuus three men own a boat and three others are taken on board. The boat starts with four or five of these, leaving one or two to look after vessels going out, and runs to sea sometimes a distance of 4v0 or 500 miles, making a cruise olten as far as George’s Shoais, As vessels are spoken one pilot ata time isputou each ship, and when the pilot boat is empty she comes BACK TO PORT mm charge of the boatkeeper, who ts studying to become a piivt, the various owners, of course, com. ing in gradually with the vessels in their charge, When a)l are assembled again, or the majority of them, om they start once more on their advevtu. Tous trip and repeat the same process, The pilot boats are expensive property and have to be maintained in very good condition by their owners. For this purpose each pilot who travels aboard is charged a percentage of his earnings, ‘Thus two per cent of the gross earnings of the boat is paid for the maintenance of the Pilot Cominis- | Bloners’ office, clerk hire, &¢, The law allows three per cent, but with a disinterestedness quite astonishing in any public department, the Com- missioners only ask two, Twenty-five per cent ts deducted jrom the pay for use of the boat, and this goes towards the mainteuance thereof, such as repairs, new sails, wearand tear, &c, About twenty per ceat of te remainder goes tor provi- sions and hire of hands, leaving about hall of the sum originally earned to be divided, When the Money has got to this net polar then , the various piiots in the boat share equally among themselves. The owners bave besides to pay ten per cent tusurance on their boats Which cats up @ good portion of the protis, This ecems a very high price for insurance, but a presi- | dent of a company has assured the writer that ou the average one boat a year is lost, It is clear from this that pilot boat property is not a good ta- vestment, aud"che owners are only too glad to | { have men with them who take a portion of the | burden of their siouiders: those who do not own | boats are tre more fortunate. There exists ab present a feet of twenty-two New York pilot boats | against six New Jersey ones. Of the Pilot tieet that were rormerly pleasure the Hope and Wiigeon, of tie New York Yacht Ulub, aad the Caprice, of Bosion. THE PA The rules of pay which govern a pilot's Ife are very strict and exact. He ts simply paid for what he does and no more, ut on the other hand no favoriusm can be shown to these men. The pilot boat Which first speaks a vessel has a rigut to her, | p and the captain of the vesset 18 obliged to take | him. If another pilot should go-aboard alter the Hirst has spoken the vessel he must pay to the rignuul owner ali the amount of the pilotage. The ; plot Who takes the vessei into port has & right to Take the same vessel out—that 18 to say, the ves Bei belongs, so far as ptlotage tx concerned, to the buat Which has first spoken her at sea for the trip | in and the trip out. ‘Tus rule, of course, prevents any selections. As all pilots are equal in point of cupacity (il they are not it is very soon found out and they are dismissed) the ralé ts the only tair one which could be adopted, ‘The pay of the pilots vanes altogether according to the number of feet a vessel draws, Tans, where a vessel drawing six tect only pays $3 70 per toot to the pilot a vessel drawing twenty feet pays $6 50 per foot, and a vessel drawing twenty-five $6 50 per foot. ‘Thus to pilot a vessel drawing the Jatter amount of feet ito port costs $166 60 tor Inward pilotage and $40 62 Jor what is Known as Mil-shore plviake—Lbal i8 Lo Say, apy plletage for , | common sailors «to. | this is tae ¢ | old Kelse. + out ot ) ance and with any distance sixteen miles from Sandy Hook. The peed grounds really begin where sandy Hook ight is first sighted. ‘Ike off-shore pilotage has been a matter of some discussion, and 1t 18 held by some that 1 1s useless. On the other hana, it is thought generally that it is WORTH PAYING A PILOT twenty-five per cent more to have him on board at 4 certain distance from land, not because he begins his real dnnies un) he arrives within sixteen miles of Sandy Hook, but because his aavent relieves the captain of much anxiety and his advice may be very valuable. Only two of the numerous steam- Ship lines coming to this port refuse to pay the off- Sore pilotage, and in both cases accidents have illustrated the fact that it was a parsunonicusly loolish policy. The outward pilotage of vessels 18 Jess than the mward—or vessels arawing six leet, $2 70 per foot; for vessels of twenty feet, $4 10 per foot, and Jor vessels arawing twenty-five feet, $4 75 per oot, making in the latter case $122 75 for tak- Ang the ship out oj port. A better idea, however, May be obtained of what money the pilots make by our giving the lollow- ing extract from the last report of the Pilot Com- tmuissioners : there are 180 New York pilots, hav- ing twenty-eight boats, valued at $336,000. These were maintamead at an expense of $237,600, The total receipts by pilots during the year were $65.,068 20, of which the net receipts or profits were $417,468 20, divided amoug them equally, making an average of $2,319 26 to each man. This is certainly not a mu- nificent salary to men Who sutfer all the privations and undergo all the dangers and discomiorts these men do. They are, besides, all married men, aud must support families in the city though they live almost entirely separated trom them, The aver- age number of vessels to eacn pilot per year is | from flity to seventy, In and out, and the tact that | the pilots are for the most part men weil advanced, having been years at the business, and that any | one mistake is instant dismissal, it may be im- | agiped now marvellously careiul and reliabie these men are. THE TRAINING. Pilots are made trom the young men who ship | on board the pilot boats as suliors and work as In this manner they become familiar with the courses, the shoals, buoys and peculiarities of the harbor and its surroundings little by little. After remainiug this way for sev- o | eral years, if they have developed particular apti- tude, the sailor 1s made boatkeeper; that is to say,,) @ sort of hate on board who has control under the pilots’ orders, aud who brings the boat back to port when all the pilots are shipped on voard diferent vesseis. This constant running in and out of harbor makes them still more familiar With their bearings, and when they have the responsibiity of the pilot boat on thelr hands, they, of course, begin to understand what it 18 to bea pilot. Alter tiree years of this work, if the boatkeeper has shown good qualities, he is rec- ommended by two pilots for examination, This ordeal takes place before the Commissiouers, who add to themselves to constitute an examining board two or three experienced pilots. The ques- tons asked are about navigation generally—wak- inga dead reckoning, soundings, the knowledge of charts and buoys, indeed anything that may be necessary to them as pilots, Jf passed they do not become pilots, as they must watt ior a Vacancy, | ‘The name is simply put down, and they are recom- mended to take a lobg Voyage somewhere to fami- harize them with something vesides New York.

The law under which the system of pilotage was organized in a Commission Was passed in 1s06, and has worked very well—so well, indeed, that not only are the Commissioners satisfied, which 13 natural, but so are the pilots and the mercuants, which is singular, because the new iaw curtailed | | many of the old privileges o! the men and brought them down to a system, about which there was much murmuring at first; but like a great many other stringent tiings, the law alter a little test was jound to procure decided advantages in its Way to those pilots who were worth anything in themselves, be sure, and put on the shelf some people who should have been on it years bewre, those who remained they iound thew earnings betier and more gure, hoporavle competition im. stead of scurvy trick=, and & vast improvement all round. In some things the Jaw 1s very severe Should @ pilot endanger a ship ior one moment While in Ms care he 3s dismissed and his heense taken away. Regular triais take pla fore tie Commissioners, at which e ¢ is taken @$ Im a court of Justice, and if there is any ground to believe the pilot culpable tne panfsiment is inflicted. Bue this manner of conducting things it 1s which insures the excellence which at presence distinguishes the system. {n-matters ivolving, not only prop- erty but human Ife tt is necessary tiat something be done to lusure the greatest care and prudence, it isthe fear of dismissal wiich accomplishes tuis.

Sad Story of Domestic Infelicity—A Father's Journey from Ohio to Obtain His Daughter—The Successful Issue. POUGHKEEPSIE, Sept, 19, 1874 About fourteen years ago Mr. Henry Holmes, & resident of one of the eastern towns of Duchess county, married Sarah F, Booth, living near Cen- terviile, Uister county. After their marriage these parties lived for a number of years in this county, @ portion of the time in Poughkeepsie, and then they moved to Onio, where they lived together until about two years ago, In the spring of 1872 tives in Ulster county, and her husband consent- ing she came on here with one of her tour children, 4 little girl about four years of age, and went to the house of her brother, Solomon Booth, at a place called Brownsville, one mile northwest of Highiand, Ulster county. In the fall of 1872 her husvand wrote to her to come home, and to this she wrote an answer that if he wanted to live her husband replied that he would do no such thing, that he was going to live where his business Was. Soon alter this correspondence had taken place Mrs, Holmes, with her lite girl, went to live with a man named James Traver, in Browns- valley and has been living with him ever since that me, On Friday morning Mr. Holmes arrived here from Ohio and immediately crossed the river and roceeded to Brownsville, stopping at the hotel of ames Whittemore, and, without informing Whitte- more who he was, questioned him as to Mrs, Holmes and her whereabouts, and ascertained that she Was living with Mr. Traver in a house just te the hotel. As these parties were holding nversation Holmes saw his wile come out of the houce and go into the house of her brother, Solomon Booth, near by, and at the same time she recognized her husband. Immediately alter this occurrence Holmes started out, expressing his tn- Traver’s house, he returned across the flelds, and, finding the door locked, broke it open and there FOUND HIS LITTLE GIRL, As the father entered the room his child jumped to her feet, exclaiming, “On, papa!’ vo you know me, my child ‘’ said the father, “You are papa Holmes,” was the response, “And do you Want to go away With me or stay here 7” he asked. “Oh, 1 want to go with you and not stay here and be locked up,” answered the little one. Holmes then told her to put the baby on the floor and after she had done so took her in his arms and started tor the river. About half an hour aiter this occurrence Mrs, Holmes returned to the house, and finding the child gone immedi- ately alarmed her trieuds, whereupon Solomon Booth, Charles Booth, James Traver (the man % | | \ of others started in hot pursuit of Holmes aud the chiid and overtook him at the Willow Dock, about a mile north o! Leiever'’s Hotel. ‘These men out his hand to take the child, but Holmes, with fire in his eye, before which these Kidnappers qnailed, and with a pistol ready jor instant use, told them that he bad come 1,400 miles for this girl, and that he would shed his last drop of blood belore he would give her up to them. Finally they jet him pass, and he immediately crossed the rive and as we write this item he, with Ins little gi rescued from the bad influence of an unnatural mother, 1s fast speeding to his Western home.

Alexander | H. Stephens. Around him now 4s the halo of the | hustings, the incense of thousands of his old and | new constituents and something of the interest which mm former days attached to Congressional contests. He entered the cars at Craw/ordsville—nis | home—sprightler, stronger and more like his old | self (albeit he still moves about on crutches) than | he has appeared for many months. It was pleas- ant to see the greetings bestowed upoii him by the people—the respectful curiosity of the young and | the warm hearted salutations of those with many | of whom he had associated in bis own youth, | The object of his journey was to attend court at | this place, not to make an address, but merely to enjoy social intercourse with the hundreds who are assembled {rom various portions of the county. How much Mr. Stephens is identified with this locality may be inierred from the state- ment that, with the exception of the last six years, he has not since 1836 missed attendance | | upon one or the other of the semi-annual courts | | atthis place. Availing myself of the opportunity, | | Tasked the venerable statesman his opinion con- | cerning THE RECENT DISTURRANCE IN NEW ORLEANS and its probable eftect upon the country at large, | especially at the North, where it seemed evident | that antil the occurrences relerred to a better and rapidly developed. Mr. Stephens replied as follows:-—“While I am entirely uninformed as to the tacts, and averse to making any statement upon mere reports by tele- | | graph, Lam still free to express the earnest regret | | that any condition of affairs exists that should | | have caused @ resort to arms and the shedding of | blood, 1 sincerely hope that General Grant will | not find it to be his constitutional duty to order the federal forces to take any part on either side, | Tregret the occurrence trom another point of view.

I hope the report will prove true | that PEACE HAS BEEN DECLARED, | and no unfortunate results will follow the bold | and desperate resolve of the pevpie.

Norick.—The members of the Ancient Boon Com- FLYN [Paris (Sept. 4) correspondence of London Stand- ard] The art of swindling has seldom been practised With more effrontery and success than by an Amer- ican citizen, Mr. Perkins, and his wile, who styles herself Maria Isabella Garowski de Bourbon, and who seems to have some claim to a relationship with the oldest and most illustrious royal houses in Europe. Kins and his wife were yesterday detailed at con- siderabie length before the Correctiona! Court of Paris. The mother of Dona Isabel was a daugh- ter of Francisco de Assis, the brother of ex-Queen Isabella’s husband. Some thirty years ago she married a Polish noble named Garowskl, They | had but one child, Dona Isabel, who, when she came ofage, married at Lisbon Mr. Perkins, who | is said, with what truth I cannot ascertain, to have been Consul General at Lisbon for the United States. But though she became by virtue of her, marriage plain Mrs. Perkins, Dona Isabel was mindtul of her illustrious origin, and the fact that | she was able to call the ex-Queen her aunt appears to have suggested to her husband and herseif th idea that it migot be usetul in helping them to e cpmiortably on what ‘Thackeray used to call “nothing a year,” IN PARIS, Tn October, 1871, Mr. aud Mrs, Perkins arrived } in aris, and took up their quarters at a fashiona- bie boarding house 1m the Champs Elysde, kept. by & Irench Widow Oi a trustiul disposition named Meilhau. During the first month of their stay everything went on quite smoothiy. The Per- Kinses patd for their board and extras with admir- apie punetuality; but presently Mr, Perkins sought an interview with nis. landlady and e. plained that owing to the stale of afairs in Spain | remittances did not arrive so regularly as was desirable. Would she mind giving him and his wile a little credit? As to her being ultimately paid, she need have no apprehensions on that score. He did not want it generally mentioned, but the Jact was that his wile was the own niece of the Queen of Spain; her marriage win him had caused @ little coolness between Mrs, Perkins and her distinguisned relations, but nl- timately it would be all right. about to make him a father, and the happy event would bring about a reconciliation. Moreover he had obtained the concession of & submarine cabie between France and England—and, in short, ste need not be unaer the siightest Gheosiness. ‘The elt so overjoyed at having such distinguished gu she insisted on their removing to most expensive apartments, supplied ther with ready money, and actually paid their servants’ wages—they kept not Jess than six! The happy event to which Mr, Per- kins had so delicately alluded only took place in 173, just at a time when the bill nad reached The baby was born, how- ever, and the ex-Queen Isabella was one of its sponsors; through her influence the Pope's Nuncio christened the distinguished offspring of the house of Perkins, aud a grand banquet took place at the boarding house in honor of the event. The ever trustiul landlady, at such a proof of the reality of the parentage of her guests, actually raised money to supply their wants, and it was only a month | ago, When her creditors became obstreperous, and finding it impossible to get a penny out of the tllus- trious Perkinses, tht she listened to advice and juccantly lodged @ complaint, setting forth that Mr. Perkins and bis wile had lodged in her house | lor nearly three years, and that what with board, money lent, aud so on, they had done her out of 40,000 francs, The wife Was not included in the prosecution, though there is no doubt but what it was a case of dursamina facti. She wrote to the preiect of Grenobie, introducing her husband and one of his “pals as distinguished foreigners, and asking him fo assist them in getting the concession ‘of the local railway. She signed this ‘Isabel G, de Bourbon,’ The preiect was entirely taken in by the letter, back, evidentiy Jaucying he was addressing the Queen of Spain, apologizing for not being abie to comply with her request, The Court postponed its judgment for a week.
