Pilot (The), an important character and the title of a nautical burletta by E. Fitzball, based on the novel so called by J. Fenimore Cooper of New York (1823). “The pilot” turns out to be the brother of colonel Howard of America. He happened to be in the same vessel which was taking out the colonel’s wife and only son. The vessel was wrecked, but “the pilot” (whose name was John Howard) saved the infant boy, and sent him to England to be brought up, under the name of Barnstable. When young Barnstable was a lieutenant in the British navy, colonel Howard seized him as a spy, and commanded him to be hung to the yardarm of an American frigate called the Alacrity. At this crisis “the pilot” informed the colonel that Barnstable was his own son, and the father arrived just in time to save him from death.
