1282 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 523

9. The Board of Examiners may make such rules and
orders for the government and regulation of pilots licensed
by them as they may think proper, not contrary to the
provisions of this article; and they may, by their order,
deprive any pilot of his license or suspend him for a limited
time for breaking such rules or orders or omitting anything
required by the same or for acting in any manner con-
trary thereto. And if any pilot so suspended or deprived
shall during the time of such suspension or deprivation
take upon himself to conduct or pilot any vessel, he shall
forfeit and pay One Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($150.00),
for each offense to the Board of Pilot Examiners. The
monies forfeited herein and in the preceding Section shall
be thereafter paid to the Association of Maryland Pilots.

10. All masters of foreign vessels and vessels from a
foreign port and all vessels sailing under register bound
to and from Baltimore City or passing in or out of the
Chesapeake Bay by way of the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal, except American vessels employed in and licensed
for the coasting trade, shall take a licensed pilot, or in case
of refusal to take such pilot shall themselves, their owners
or consignees pay the said pilotage as if he had been
employed.

11. American vessels employed in and licensed for the
coasting trade shall be exempt from the duty of employ-
ing a pilot, and the vessels as well as their masters, owners,
agents, or consignees shall be exempt from the duty of
paying pilotage. Such vessel, however, voluntarily taking
a pilot shall pay the same fee for pilotage as prescribed
in the case of a vessel bound to or from a foreign port.

12. The money collected by the Association of Mary-
land Pilots for piloting services under this Article shall be
equally distributed quarterly among the regular working
pilots over twenty-one years of age; but the Board of
Pilot Examiners shall make suitable provision for any
pilot who is sick or disabled, not exceeding the distributive
portion of any pilot engaged in active service, provided,
however, that the Board of Supervisors of the Association
of Maryland Pilots is empowered, authorized and directed
to deduct from such money collected and before such quar-
terly distribution, a certain percentage of said money, said
percentage to be fixed by the Board of Pilot Examiners, to
be set aside in a separate or reserve fund for replacement
and repairs of major equipment. This deduction shall be
in addition to and exclusive of any deductions made by
the Association of Maryland Pilots under its by-laws. The
