The steamboat inspection service has been aroused into. unusual activity owing to the frightful accident of the Larchmont in Long Island Sound recently. Super- vising Inspector General George Uhler has issued a general order directing all supervising and local inspectors to begin at once a reinspection of the various steamers within their districts without previous notification to the owner of the vessel. In addition all excursion boats and ferry boats are to be inspected at least three times during the year by a dif- ferent inspector upon each occasion. Should the equipment of the vessel be found not to be fully up to requirements, navigation must be stopped immediately. Following is the full text of Gen. Uhler's orders: Supervising and local inspectors are hereby directed to begin at once a reinspection of the various steamers within their respective dis- tricts, with particular reference to steamers car- rying large numbers of people, such as ex- cursion boats and ferry boats. The reinspec- tion will begin with excursion steamers whose certificates of inspection will expire after the | after which - opening of the excursion season, the order of inspection will be left to the judgment of the local inspectors. No notice of a_ vessel will be given the owner, master, or other in- terested person. Hereafter, in addition to the regular inspections, reinspections or examina- tions of excursion boats and. ferry boats shall be made at least three times during the year or the season of service, and, in districts where assistant inspectors are employed, such rein- . spection shall not be made by an inspector or inspectors who made the inspection immediately preceding the reinspection. If it is found at any time that any vessel is in any way unfit for service, or can not be safely navigated, or that her equipment is not fully up to the re- quirements, the navigation of such vessel must stop immediately. In conforming with the above rul- ing Thomas W. Gould, local assistant inspector at Cleveland, has been trans- ferred to Detroit, and J. B. Hayward, assistant inspector of boilers-at Cleve- land, has been transferred to Mil- waukee. Capt. Thomas A. Scott, head of the Scott Wrecking Co., died recently at his home in New London, Conn., aged 77 years. Capt. Scott followed the sea from boyhood, having been master of sailing vessels, diver and wrecker. He also assisted in several engineering undertak- ings, having built, under the supervision of F. Hopkinson Smith as marine archi- tect, the Race Rock lighthouse, a diffi- cult engineering feat. He also superin- tended the work of laying the founda- tions of Brooklyn bridge.
