Indorsement of Inland Licenses for Ocean Service.
Resolved, That whenever it may appear to the satisfaction of the Supervising Inspector General, that the demand for licensed officers for ocean and coastwise vessels of the American merchant marine is such that it cannot be met under existing requirements and regulations he may authorize local inspectors to indorse the license of officers of lake, bay, and sound steam vessels for ocean or coastwise service for a period not to exceed six months or until such officer shall have passed a satisfactory examination for ocean or coastwise service within this period.
Officers whose licenses have been so indorsed shall present themselves for examination at the earliest possible opportunity after said indorsement.
