CONTRAVENTION OF MERSEY REGULATIONS
FOREIGN SHIPMASTER FINED
Some of the difficulties which con- Zront a foreign shipmaster, "anter- ing into an English port for the first time, were stressed by the defence, jta the course of a prosecution, at Liverpool Police Court, under the Pilotage Act
The defendant, Marcellon Nacinovich, master of the Italian steamer "Atlantica," was fined £10 for failing, when in the Liverpool Pilotage District, a district in which pilotage is compulsory, to display the pilot signal until Д licensed pilot came on board.
A further summons charging him with navigating his vessel on the 10th November in the Liverpool Pilotage District, after a licensed pilot had offered to take charge of the ship was withdrawn, with the concurrence of the Mersey Dock! Board solicitor, as it was agreed that the circumstances of both cases were the same.
