Section 3

Section 3. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That until the present war shall have been declared to have ceased as aforesaid, if any first rate pilot, who shall in consequence of stress of weather or other unavoidable accidents be carried to sea in any ship or vessel contrary to his inclination, the master, owner or consignee of such ship or vessel shall pay to such pilot or to his executors or administrators, the sum of sixty dollars per month until the return of the said pilot to the capes of Delaware, or in case he shall die whilst so absent, then to the time of his death. There shall be paid in like manner, and under similar circumstances to each second rate pilot, the sum of forty dollars per month; and to each third rate pilot, thirty dollars per month; provided, that no pilot shall receive more than one half of the sum herein specified as compensation, unless he shall have had his boat attending when the ship or vessel on board of which he may have been, shall have gone so far out to sea or out of the capes of Delaware as to be no longer in want of the services of the said pilot.
