THE VESSEL LEAKED. Men Had to Man the Pumps Every Four Hours to Keep Her Clear. A WHALEBACK SAILING-SHIP. Seamen Say She Is Not a Success, but She Got Safely Into Port With a Cargo. The only whaleback sailing ship that has ever entered this port docked ai the Pacific Mail Company’s whar! yesterday. She is the English vessel Bermuda and came here with coal from Nanaimo, B. C., for the steamship company. The Ber- muda is modern in every particular, but the crew does not like her as well as other vessels in wkich they have served. Their quarters are below, and as there are no deckhouses they get very little shelter during a storm. There are no bulwarks and the tons of water that break aboard during a storm have very little effect and the vessel is not strained in consequence. The Bermuds would certainly not be a pleasant ship to round the Horn in. The ship is well appointed throughout and Captain Kohn says she is & splendid sea boat. Afterdischarging the coal cargo the Bermuda will be loaded with wheat for Europe. Sailing vessels are grndmng being driven out of the wheat business by tramp steamers. Quite a number of the latter class have been here during the past two months and baving loaded are now on their way to Europe again. To take their places the Flintsaire is on her way here from Hongkong, the Strathness from Kobe, the Kirkhill from Nagasaki, the H. W. Jarsberg from Yoko ama, the Wennington from Shangh ai, the Glenesk from Singapore and the City of Dublin from Yokohama. Between them they will take away nearly 30,000 tons of wheat. The barkentine Irmgard was fully di charged yesterday and then the crew dis- covered why they had been compelled to work at the pumps every four hours during the trip from Honoluluin order to keepthe vessel free from water. A swordfish haa attacked the yessel and driven its sword through five inches of planking and eight inches of lining. About two inches of the sword protruded from the outside of the hull and an inch on the inside. Captain Schmidt does not remember when the swordfish attacked the barken- tine, but he does know that the Irmgard began to leak when she was two days out from Honolulu. An unusually heavy gale that lasted twenty-four hours had been encountered and when it subsided the vessel was found to be leaking. It was nota bad one, but with a sugar cargo it meant trouble. In consequence the pum ps were used for about ten minutes every four hours and the damage to the cargo was very slight. The sword imbedded in the Irmgard’s side is about two inches broad and a little over an inch thick. It made a clean cut and is driven so firmly into the vessel's side that two or three planks will kave to be removed before the damage can be re. paired. The pieces of wood with' the sword in them will probably be presented to the park museum, A private letter from Victoria, B. C., recounts the probable loss of three sailors from the schooner Fortuna. The boats ‘were out hunting, and as the weather was clearand calm no danger was suspected. SBuddenly one of the boats disappeared, and from that day to this has never been heard from. The men in it were: E. Har- mon of 8an Francisco, Dan Clifton of Mel- bourne and Moses Andrews of Victoria, B. C. The accident happened off the Japan coast, but as the schooner was miles off shore there was no chance of the men being pickea up. The brig John D. Spreckels has had a new bowsprit put in and is being thor- oughly overhauled. She will pegin load- ing for Mahukona on Monday and receive quick dispatch. The Spreckels 1s the champion vessel of the sugar fleet, and Captain Christisnsen is confident that he will make a quick run to the islands on this occasion. The Tropic Bird docked at Howard No. 2 yesterday and will begin loading for Tahiti to-morrow. The Annie Johuson has been taken off the sugar route and will load for S8an Jose ae Guatemala end the Alaska Packers’ Association’s Pacific went to Oskland Creek to lie up yesterday. IN THE MISSION. The Defense Union’s Choice for Super- wvisor and School Di- rectors. The Mission Defense Union held its regu- lar meeting last evening, Judge Reynegom presiding in the absence of President J. H. Graay. Upon motion of Mr. Kelly the union chose Dr. Soper, Dr. Clinton and Mr. Hen- derson, members of the club, as candidates for School Directors. George Walcom moved that J. H. Grady, the president of the Mission Defense Union, be indorsed for Supervisor. The motion was adopted. James Phelan, the Democratic candidate for Mayor, was indorsed by the union as a recognition of his sérvices in the fnrth ance of the objects of the Mission improve- ment clubs. GOLD NI3HT AT MILLS. A Debate on Fioance That Resulted Disastrously to the Bryanites, Fridey evening the Bryant Literary Society at Mills College held a vigorous debate upon the vital question of the day, “Resolved that American free coin- age of silver at 16 to 1 would promote the business prosperity of the country,” Four disputants presented carefully pre- pared papers, and then the discussion be- came general and warm. All stock argu- ments found ample ventilation, and the silver States were well represented by their native daughters, The final vote, after a prolonged debate, showed the temper of ‘he members. The resolution was lost by a vote of four to! one, amid much applause. The Bryant Literary Society received a large accession of new members, and promises practical results along the lines of current thought. Rehearing Is Desired.

BURNHAM KILLED A SAVAGE CHIEF The Mining Engineer Is Well Known in Cali- fornia. NOT A ROUGH COWBOY. How the Matabele High Priest Milimo Was Sent to His Death. MANY ARIZONA ADVENTURES. A Former Intructor of the Hero of the Matopo Hills Speaks in His Praise. In the war of the British against the savage rebels of Matabeieland, South in fact does not know the meaning of the word. He left this City two vears ago for South Africa, where e had been engaged as a mining expert and civil engineer by English mine-owners. He had done much work in the same line in this_State and in Arizona. In the Territory Burn- ham had many adventures with the Apache Indians, and on several occasions he narrowly escaped with his life. His services were always regarded as valuable by the Arizona mine-owners, for he would go into a country where no other mining expert would risk his life, Burnham has a family fiving in Pasadena. HIS FACE SLAPPED. Mrs, Katie Burbanks Inflicts Summary Punishment Upon ¥. F. Foster, a Bookkeeper. F. F. Foster, bookkeeper for A. Schil- ling & Co., swore to & complaint in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday charging Mrs. Katie Burbanks with battery. Foster and his wife live at 30} Pleasant street and Mrs. Burbanks in the lower flat, which is No. 30. Mrs. Burbanks has three furnished rooms rented to a family named Stein. Foster and his wife areon terms of intimacy with the Steins and used to visit them frequently. On one of these visits Foster made some disparaging re- marks about Mrs. Burbanks, and she told the Steins ihat she wouid permit the Fosters to enter her flat again. Friday nignt Foster and his wife paid a visit to the Steins. They had hardly got seated when Mrs. Burbanks appeared and ordered them out. Foster refused to go, and Mrs. Burbanks slapped his face three times and then left the rocm. Hence the warrant. —— e ——— Thieves at the Falr, George Milier and Harry Trost, boys, were F. R. BURNHAM, the California Mining Expert, Who Killed the Matabele’s Fanatical High Priest in South Africa. Africa, F. R. Burnham of Pasadens, now known in African war history as Burn- ham the American, has excited consider- able interest. The recent dispatches from South Africa and Europe tell of the man’s thrilling adventures in fighting the sav- ages, and particularly of his having killed Milimo, the war god, or high priest, of the Matabele, who was the cause of the na. tives’ barbaric outlawry. Burnham is well known in San Fran. cisco, and his career abroad is watched with keen interest by a host of friends in California and Arizona. One of his most intimate friends in tnis City is A. Van der Naillen jr., from whose mining and engineering school Burnham graduated with the class of '93. “Mr, Burnham has been placed in a false position,” said Mr. Van der Naillen yesterday. *‘All of the telegraphic re. ports mention him as & cowboy and scout of the lower order. The fact is Mr. Burn- ham is an educated gentleman, who has taken up mlnlng‘ engineering as a means of making a living. He is not of the long-haired Texas-cowboy order in the least.” Mr. Van der Naillen recently received an interesting account of the Kkilling of the Matabele high priest by Burnham. The British decided that so long as Milimo lived there woula be no peace in Mata- beleland, and_in order to n?prnn the rebellion the English officers offered a re- ward for the rebel leader, dead or alive. Burnham and a young Englishman named Armstrong started out in search of Milimo, who resided in a remarkable cave in the Matopo bills. After much search ""i found the old negro, who led them back into the cave, at the same time chanting and singing in order to give his followers an opportunity to surround and capture the two white adventurers, The latter saw that they could not capture the negro alive and get back with him, so Burnbam shot him. Then followed a race for their lives, for the suvages, hundreds in number, almost cut off Lueir retreat to their horses. It was a wild ride, but the two escaped amid a shower of bullets. In speaking of Mr. Burnham his former instructor eaid that the voung man i8 of & perfectly fearless disposition— charged at the City Prison yesterday with petty larcency. Thev were arrested in the Mechanics’ Pavilion Wednesday night by De- tectives Egan ana Silvey for stealing trifling articles from booths at the fair, FRESHO SHIPPERS ARE NOW FREE Can Move All Kinds of Freight Over the Val- ley Road.

Brown succeeded in drawing $580 by checks from the deposit in the bank and then skipped, as Chief Maddox had got on to the fact that he was aforger. He joined McKay and together they swindled hotel-keepers and obtained vnlunblad‘ewelry in different cities, which they paid by checks on the bank at Fort Worth. McKay came here with Brown, but fled to Kansas City, where he was arrested. e INTER-CLASS ‘FIELD DAY. Pupils of Lowell High School Compete at the Olympic Grounds. The boys of the Lowell High School held their regular inter-class tield day yes- terday at the Olympic Club grounds. It was just the right sort of a day to bring out the best qualities of the young ath- letes. These inter-class meets are merely a ‘“try-out” from which the best athletes are picked to compete in the academic field day, in which all the high schools of the surrounding counties are represented by their best athletes. The events and winners were as follows: 100-yard dash—Titus '97, time, 113{; 120- yard high hurdles, Carter '98, time 20 1-5; 220 yards, over low hurdles, Symmes, '99, neight 5 feet; broad jump, Montgomery ’98, distance 18 feet 7 inches; 16-1b shot put, Ham '90, put 32 feet. In ‘the mile walk, Walsh '97, broke his former record of 7 minutes 49 2-5 seconds, by 1425 | seconds. Symmes, although handicapped by a troublesome ankle, well upheld the honor of the class of '99.

The most curious experiment ever made with a piece ot ordnance was at Ports- mouth, England.

In ordsr 10 make the old Griper invulnerable a sheet of boiler plates, three incbes thick, was riveted to the water-logged hull in_direct range with the course the ball was expected to take if not deflected by the water. On_all of these—the oaken tar- get, the boiler platesand the old vessel hull—the effect of the shot from the sub- merged gun was really startling. The wooden target was pierced through and through, the boiler-iron target was brok- en into pieces and driven into the ‘‘back- ing,”” the ball passed on through both sides of the vessel, making a huge hole, through which the water poured in tor- rents.
