V- PAY OF PILOTS, A ! plea -for an increase : in the "pay ■of pilots is made by the Sydney Shipping List. The general publio (says the paper) have no conception of the many trials and responsibilities that arc borne.by each and every pilot in the service. In the first "place, they- must have experience as masters of vessels; in the second, they have to face many risks; thirdly, they have responsibilities whicli tlie ordinary individual never dreams of:, and, lastly, they are paid salaries ;whlch arc anything but commensurate with their manifold duties. The salaries paid these men average £450 per year, which, to some, would appear-a lair thing, but it must be remembered that they have remained at this figure for some time.
