THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1895. 5 DISASTER AND MUTINY. Narrow Escape of the Bark Top-| gallant From Total Destruction, A COMMANDER'S QUANDARY. i | e | The Crew Ordered Captain Killman to1 Turn the Ship Back, but He Refused. The voyage of the American bark Top- | 2 gallant from Port Elakelev to San Fran- 0 was & most sensational one. For the crew stood up to their waists in water, expecling the vessel to go down with them, anl on several occasions not even ‘‘hardtack” could be procured from the storeroom. i The vessel was leaking like a sieve and even when the derkload of lumber was | thrown overboerd it did not help matters | much. Then grery stitch of canvas that the bark wouldcarry was set and she was | put on the porttack.

I ran forward to see| whether or not we were hard and fast, and | it was only when I saw the wreckage | floating by and got a look at our twisted | stem that I knew what was the matter. | “Then the men wanted me to put back | for Cape Flattery, but I knew that it wouid take the best found suip afloat to stand the gale that was then blowing in the vicinity of the Cape, so I refused to put about. | Then the mate and Iargued the point and | I gained my way. | “We got all our deck load of lumber over | the side and then the seas began sweeping us fore and aft. The bulwarks went like 80 much kindling wood, and the wonder is | that no one was washed overboard. I| nevar sew such sess. They would come | together, and joining forces, would | comedown on us like astone from a slung- | shot.

Then we nailed | battens over the canvas, and when some of the sails were taken off we found the | Topgallant was comparatively water tight. From that on we had fair weather. “*You see, I bad to lick the mate in or- der to get my vessel to San Francisco. In | the open sea we had a fighting chance | even if we did get waterlogeed, but in the | cross seas that prevailed off Flattery we | wonld have been crushed like a nut. No | Cape Flattery for me when I'm ina dis abled ship. Give me the opensea and room to move around and I'll weather the gale comeLow, but I don’t want any rocks 1u mine.” The Topgallant will start discharging to-day and will then go on the drydock for a thorough overhauling. She will require a new stempost and will have to be re- calked throughout.” THE HANDBALL COURTS. | Nealor, the Veteran, and Bonnet Defeat | Coast Champion Donnelly and | R. Lenihan. | The weather vesterday was all that | could be desired for good handball and as 2 result the courts were crowded. The Occidental Court had a special attraction in a match between the veteran J. C. Nea- lon and T. F. Bonnet and Coast Champion | P. T. Donnelly and R. Leniban. It was stubbornly contested from start to finish | and the final wes won by Nealon and B9n- | net by only two aces. Another sclennfic: game was played between John Purcell | and Ed Maloney and the Acme Ciub | champions Bob French and T. Fennessy which was won by the two former. At the San Francisco Court the interest centered in_the match between Al Pen-| noyer and J. McEvelley and J. Sweeney | 4nd J. Nelson, the two former winning. to | the surprise of the spectators, in three} straight games. M. Dillon and G. Hutch- | inson played against J. Carroll and J.

Kelly and R. Lenihan, the two latter winiing throu the hard service of Kelly.| Four beavy-weights, J. McCauley and Térry McManus and Tom Sharkey and W. 8mith played a rattling game, which ended in the defeat of Sharkey and Smith. The banquet of |the Occidental Club on Saturday night, January 4, is being looked forward to with the greatest interest. | Peculiar Stories About the Case| President Condon and the other officers of | the club are determined upon making it | an event long to be remembered in hand- ball circles.

The laws say that | While none of the Adams | 81l work shall be done ior the actual cost of the | material. with the jury. people are willing to openly assert that that matters were out of legal gear some- where. The jury in the case, after thirty ballots | and about as many hours of thinking and | tively, | tistry it is a State institution, and I think there | are many matters which should be investi- | discussing, were evenly divided upon the issue. Six were in favor of awarding dam- ages to Adams, and the others held that the railroad company Liad the best of the fight. The persistence of the jurors in as- serting their convictions and the failure of repeated efforts to bring avout a satisfac- tory decision started the scandalous stories. Just about. this time Mr. Frank heard of | an incident which seemed in his mind to completely verify every suspicion. A son of Juror Albert FFolsom called at the attor- | s residence and explained to him that a stranger had visited the grocery-store of Joachim Witt, on the corner of Sacramento and Broderick streets, and asked questions of suspicious import concerning the char- acter and position of the elder Folsom. Witt had informed the boy of the stran- ger's visit and his peculiar inquiries, and he in turn had considered it wise to men- tion the affair to thelawyer. Frank iooked the matter up, and is still engaged in a quiet investigation. ‘When asked about the matter last night he said: *‘I had, of course, reason to be | extremely careful in a case of this kind, for it has frequently happened that juries determining such issues have been ‘‘fixed.” | My suspicions were aroused when the | news reached me of the incidentat the | grocery-store, and considering that we a sure case against the Southern Pacific, | the disagreement of the jury seemed pecu- | liar and decidedly unsatisfactory. [ am not, however, prepared to say that the | jury was not all right. It will take a little | while before the affair can be thoroughly | investigated. Six of the jurors voted against us, and I can account for such ac- tion by four of them. I know why they did soand I am satisfied in that particular. About the other two I know nothing defi- nitely yet, and they are the ones we bove to learn something about. A disagree- ment of the jury was all nonsense. Our case against the railroad people was as plain a3 day, and we will file another suit immediately.” About the questions of the stranger in Witt’s store, Mr. Frank said that he now believes the mysterious visiter was there during the four days’ interval between the selection and the swearing of the jurors.

How He Came to Leave the College of Dentistry So Suddenly. AN INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED. Dr. Dunbar Never Asked Him to Re- sign, but Simply Appointed Another Man. Tho clash between the junior class of | the College of Dentistry and Dr. Sharp, | backed by the dean of the faculty, Dr. Dunbar, instead of having been amicably | The students absolutely refused to re- tract certain statements reflecting on Dr. equally firm in the matter of accepting anything short of an unqualified apology. Thus for the present av least the matter remains in abeyance, though it is not thought probable that the strained rela- tions can exist much longer. The faculty realize that something must be done, be- cause the dissatisfaction among the juniors is rapidly diffusing itself throughout the The fight seems now to have centered, not on the alleged misconduct of the students in the lecture-room, but on dismissal of Dr.Boxton from a position which he held for ten years. On Thursday last an attempt was made to arrange matters satisfactorily to all concerned. After considerable persuasion, so it is stated, Dr. Dunbar induced the juniors to sign a paper expressing regret for the occurences in the lecture-room. When the paper reached the dean, how- ever, he demanded that the students em- | body in the statement a full retraction of all that had been said reflecting on Dr. | Sharp’s competency as an instructor. This | they flatly refused to do, and of course it only widened the breach. The meeting of Friday did not tend in any way to harmon- ize matters. Dr. Boxton is indignant at certain state- hesitatingly pronounced them false. Said Dr. Boxton yesterday : Until this unpleasant occurrence, into which my name has been dragged, I never felt called upon to explain how I lost my position with | the college. Now, however. in view of certain statements made by Dr. Dunbar, which, by the way, are false from beginning to end, it is only | proper that I should give my version of the | affair.

A few | months ago Dr. Dunbar said to me there was a great loss of material by the students, and | something must be done. He asked me what | I would charge to do the work independent of | my position as lecturer. I told him $200 a | month, but he could not see it that way. He offered me $50, which 1, of course, refused.

Dr. Allen Griffiths lectured last evening in Red Men’s Hall before the Theosophical Soci- ety upon “The Mysteries of Sex.” In the out- !e{hep:uted that all esoteric schools give a prominent place to sex, and recognizg it to be & pivotal problem, and one almoest unsolvable.

He asked me a number of ques- | and ascertaining if they came up to the recently purchased for the Fire Depart- ment, were taken to the seawall, off Lom- bard street, for the purpose of testing them representations of the several manufac- turers. The engines were ranged alongside of the stringpiece and took suction from the bay. Each of the first-cl: engines fur- nished three streams—two 3-inch and one 2)4-inch—through 100 feet of hose. The second-class engine played two streams —a 13¢-inch and a 1}4-inch. Engine No 12 of the old volunteer de- par tment was also taken down and tested, and was set to play the same sized stream as the first-class machines. The new first-class engines are beautiful pieces of machinery and fitted with all the modern improvements. The Lafrance is an original invention, and the other two are a combination of several makes. The Lafrance weighs 9340 pounds and the others 9120 each, while No. 12 weizhs 9600. The several engines were found to work exceedingly well, and each threw a power- ful stream ; but the strongest and steadiest was_that of the Lafrance. The others carried well, but broke into spray within a shorter distance than that of the La- france. Tlhe test was made through two sizes of nozzles, and in each case the general re- sult was the same. The American engines have a limit to water power, and that is 120 pounds to the square inch; beyond that they will not rise, for there is an auto- matic valve that opens and prevents a higher pressure. The Lafrance was started at 10:15 A. M. with cold water in the boiler, and in aix minutes raised fifty pounds of steam. In #ight minutes she raised eighty pounds and turned her wheel. In ten minutes she registered 120 pounds. The other two en- gines, with heated water in the boilers, New York, a brother of the builder of the Lafrance engines, who acted as engineer of the new machine yesterday, Chief Sullivan bad the new water battery, “The Little Giant,” which recently tested, taken to the wharf and put into service, so that he might tell the New Yorkers of the won- derful San Francisco invention that can furnish as good a stream as a water-tower, weighs but 800 pounds, and can be taken any where. Mr. Lafrance said: “It is a woaderful machine, and powerful as it is wonderful. ‘We have nothing like that in New York. I would just like to take it under my arm to show it to our New York firemen, but as I cannot do that I will have to be satisfied with a pnotograph.” The test was considered a very satisfac- tory one, and the department has four new engines that can do good service. Gorter, the machinist at the Corporation Yard, is building a new battery on the pat- tern of the Little Giant, but this wiil be an improvement on the one now in use. In the new one the water instead of enter- ing horizontally and meeting resistance beiore entering the mnozzle, will enter from below and avoid that resistance.

The father of William McQuiliian, a lad 10 years old living at 703 Greenwich street, re- ported to Chief Crowley last night the disap- pearance of the latter.
