The member of a pilot association recognized by state statute and to which every pilot licensed by the state belongs, are not to be held liable as partners to owners of piloted vessels for the negligence of each other,
because the association collects the fees for pilotage and, after paying certain expenses, distributes them to those on the active list according to the number of days they have been on duty. So held as to Virginia Pilot Association.
