THE BLAIRMORE RAISED AT LAST, She Is Now Alongside the| Wharf at the Roll- ing-Mills. NOT SERIOUSLY HURT. After Her Hold Has Been Cleaned Out She Will Dock for Repairs. H. MILLER'S NARROW ESCAPE. Fired on by Wharf-Rats Who Had Stolen His Boat From Clay- Street Wharf. The Blairmore has at last been raised and is once more in safety, that is, all that is left of her. Yesterday she wasalmost on an-even keel, and when the iron weights had been taken from her bilge, the tug Rescue took hold of her and docked her alongside the rolling-mills. There is still considerable water in her, but that can all be pumped out in an hour. The remain- ing ballast will be taken ont on Monday, and then the Blairmore will go on the Union Iron Works’ ways. The Blairmore is a remarkably well built ship, and in consequence, she shows very few signs of the rough times she bas been through. Her yards and topmasts were cut away in order to free her from the mud, and the stump of the foremast carried away during one of the attempts at raising her. On a similar occasion the bowsprit was broken off, and the piece now dangles in the air. - Captain Burns, who came out here to represent the underwriters, and Captain Whitelaw, the wrecker, are two of the happiest men in San Francisco. Their long weeks of night and day labor are practically over and their efforts have been crowned with success. Whitelaw himself has done three men’s work, and during the time he Las been on the job hn;:n twenty pounds in weight. He will now be able to take a rest and recuperate. Captain Burns has been the managing genius of the whole aftair. He was the director-general, and he took advantage of every trifle. With him there was no such thing as failure, and though at times he would be downhearted for a few minutes and feei like swearing after the vessel had slipped back into her bed, still the next minute he would be at it again, devising new schemes to get the vessel alongside the drydock. He has at last succeeded. “When we got the Blairmore into shal- low water I knew it was only a question of a few days when we would have her on an even keel,” said Captain Burns yesterday. *As we removed the ballast she gradually righted herself, and when we pumped out some of the water she came up as faras we wanted her. When the tug took hold there was no difficulty in towing her to the rolling-mills, and now all we have to dois pump out the water and hoist out the ballast and she will float of her own accord. There are probably two more bodies in the hold, and our first care will be to recover them and give them Chris- tian burial. If all goes well we should have the Blairmore on the drydock by Monday evening.” _All nope for the American ship Oity of Philadelphia, now out 167 days from New York for San Francisco, seems to have been abandoned. Yesterday 90 per cent reinsurance was paid on her. She is sup- | posed to be the vessel that was seen to | founder off Cape Horn in a hurricane. The ship Colomba, which put into Rio de | Janerro in distress, is worse damaged than was at first supposed. She will probably have to discharge her entire cargo. Henry Miller, a saloon-keeper on the water front, had a narrow escape last Thursday night. After leaving his place of business he went over to the Clay-street steps to see if his skiff was all right. He found ‘three men in it, and one of them was industriously at work with a cold chisel cutting the chain that held the boat. Miller gave the alarm, and some of the harbor police speedily responded. The latter went for a boat under the ferry buildings, but Miller jumped into a white- hall and made for his skiff. With a final stroke the man who was at work got the chain cut through and the other two began rowing. Miller gave chase and was’ gain- ing on them, when the man who cut the chain pulled a gun and fired at him. The bullet went through the saloon man’s hat and he at once stopped rowing. The men escaped with the boat. The harbor police are of the opinion that the robbers are part of the gang that was recently re- leased from 8an Quentin. Ea Short, the courteous and popular wharfinger at Mission street, has gone back to his old piace. For some time past be has been acting as assistant chief wharfineer and gave universal satisfac- tion. Another man was slated for the position, however, and Mr. Short had to give way. The new assistant chief is H. 8, Scott, who for some time past has been wharfinger at section 2 of the seawall. He is thoroughly efficient, and should, with such an able chief to work under, make a model office out of the Clay-strect institu- tion. . Onions are a glut on the Clay-street wharf. The owners do not know what todo with them, and have asked permission to dump them in the bay. Instead of wast- ing themr, Chief Wharfinger Root said he would distribute them among the desery- ing poor. Ary deserving person who wants onions can get them to-day by applymng at the chie! wharfinger's office, There are 100 sacks, and 1t will be the case of first come first served.” Why not send some of these vegetables to the orphan asylums? The steamer Newsboy will start on an excursion to the stranded steamer Colom- biaat 9 o’clock this morning. There is sure to be a crush to-morrow, and those who wish to enjoy a pleasant outing ata small cost should go to-da Among those who have taken passage for to-day’s trip are Harbor Commission- ers Colnon, Chadbourne and Cole and many other men prominent in shipping circles. T.C. Wills of the J. 8. Kimball Company will personally supervise the ex- cursion and that is a guarantee that it will be well conducted. The party will have four hours at the scene of the wreck and the boat will get back to her 1anding about 6 p. u. Every- thing points to fine weather and a smooth sea, and as the Newsboy is one of the best vessels in her class on the coast the trip should be an enjoyable one. The Corona will run to the wreck of the Colombia to-morrow. Only a limited nurber of tickets will be sold, so that there may be no fear of crowding. The Corona is one of the finest steamers on the coast, and Captain Hall is one of the most experienced commanders running out of this port. The steamer will leave Broad- way wharf at 9:30 A. &, and returning will reach the City about5:30 . M. All the in- dications are for fine weather and a smooth sea, 80 the trip should be an en- joyable one. Tickets can be bad from the Piper-Aden-Goodall Company, 24 Clay street. The steam schooner Cleone, that was to have sailed this afternoon for Crescent City, will not be able to get away ontil Wednesday next, owing to a breakdown in her machinery. She is now repairing at the seawall. The race for the California Yacht Club cup, which was to have taken place to- morrow, has been postponed indefinitely. Many of the members will go on a cruise ‘ to Pigeon Point instead to view the wreck of the Colombia. Golden Gate Parlor No. 29, N. 8. G.
