§ 405.30. Compensation.
(a) In case a pilot, having charge of a vessel and while conducting such vessel, be detained by order of the master, owner or consignee of the vessel, by ice, or by any other unavoidable circumstance not personal to himself, the pilot shall receive compensation for such detention at the rate of $3.00 per day for each and every day so detained, commencing at a period of 24 hours from the time the detention first occurred.
(b) If any first-class pilot, having a boat attending him, shall be carried to sea in any ship or vessel contrary to his inclination, by stress of weather or other unavoidable accident, the master, owner or consignee of such ship or vessel shall pay to such pilot, his executors, or administrators the same wages as the master of such vessel receives until the return of such pilot to the Capes or, in case the pilot dies while so absent, until the time of his death. If any second-class pilot shall be carried off as provided in this subsection, the wage scale shall be that of the first mate of the vessel. If any third-class or fourth-class pilot shall be carried off as provided in this subsection that wage scale shall be that of the seamen of the vessel. If any pilot, not having a boat attending him, shall be carried to sea as provided in this subsection, he shall be paid 1/2 the wages he would have been entitled to had a boat been attending.
(c) If any inward-bound ship or vessel, having a pilot on board, shall be prevented by ice or by any other cause from proceeding to the port and shall be compelled to proceed to some other port or place not in the bay and River, the pilot shall be entitled to receive and recover from the owner or consignee of such ship or vessel full pilotage as if he had conducted such ship or vessel to the port, and the pilot shall also receive the sum of 8¢ for each and every mile he shall travel to his usual place of abode.
