OF PILOTAGE IN THE ROYAL NAVY.

By the regulations in the Royal Navy, pilots are to be treated with good usage, and in equal respect with warrant-officers.

The purser is to provide bedding for them, and they are to have hammocks provided for them, and a convenient berth near their duty, and separate from the common men.

A pilot conducting one of his Majesty's ships has the sole charge and command of her, and may give orders for steering, setting, or bending sails, bracing the yards, putting the ship in stays, or any other acts that concern the navigation of the ship; and all the proper officers and crew are to obey him; but the captain is to observe the conduct of the pilot, and may remove him from the command for misconduct, noting in the log-book the exact hour when the pilot was removed, and the reasons for it.

Pilots in foreign ports are to be paid by the naval officer, if any, upon certificate from the captain; or else by the captain.

Foreign pilots are to be paid by the captain according to the established rates of the country.

Of ships bound out of the Thames, or from the Nore, the captain is to apply to the navy-board for a pilot, and not to employ any but such as are sent to him by the Trinity-house; but when a ship is to depart from the Downs to the Thames or Medway, he is to employ one belonging to the society of pilots at Dover.

Captains are not to take pilots unnecessarily, nor bear them longer than is necessary; and, when discharged, to give them certificates. When the constant attendance of a pilot is required on board, he is to be so rated on the books, and borne within the complement.

The master or mate (with the captain's consent) may act as pilot, if none other can be gotten; and, for encouragement, shall have half a pilot's allowance.

Pilots are not to be taken to sea, except in cases of necessity, and

how to be paid, see page 240.

IN THE FOLLOWING TABLE of the RATES of PILOTAGE in the Royal Navy, the number of days given are understood to be for the full voyages out and home; and half the allowance for carrying a ship out is made to the pilot for bringing her back: but if the pilot do not bring the ship back, then only two-thirds of the time mentioned in the table is to be taken for performing the trip out; and, if he happen to be longer on board than the time allotted for the trip, he is to be allowed 6s. per day for his attendance, for the remaining part of such time, or else cruising-pay, according to the table, if the ship happen to be then

cruising.

Pilots sent, by order of the Trinity-house, to the Nore or other distant places, are to be allowed their travelling charges; and if they are put ashore at a
