0 CALL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1896 MANY GIRLS HAVE - NARROW ESCAPES Crowded in Most Dingy Factories and Penned in by Flames. In a Few Minutes the Fire Spreads Through a Big Building. .- L0s8 OF LIFE IS AVERTED. éut the Structure Is Wrecked and a Loss of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars Sustained. BROOKLYN, N. Y., Oct. 27.—A disas- " trous fire in Ronalds & Co.’s six-story building on the corner of State street and Brum place, in which there were & num- ~"ber of narrow escapes from loss of life, took place this afternoon. The frm are wholesale dealers in plumbers” supplies, © and other tenants are Fay, Harman & Chadwick Manufacturing Company, cor- set manufacturers; Lockitt & Findley and Seymour Bros., skirt manufacturers. The latter firms employ upward of seventy- five girls, and the fact tuat all got out safely is almost miraculous, as they were in the upper stories. The fire originated on the fourth floor * from an unknown cause and spread both upward and downward, and in a few min- utes the whole siructure was a mass of flames and thousands of people had col- lected in the streets near by. The Fay, Harman & Chadwick em- .. ployes, about 100 in number, nearly all of whom were girls, were in the part of the building first attacked by the flames and there was a great jam on the stairs and fire-escapes, but so far as can be learned to-night all have been accounted for. Many of them fainted and had to be car- ried down the stairs by the firemen and male employes. The girls in Seymour Bros.’ skirt factory were panic-stricken when the dense smoke . .began penetrating their room, and many ran helplessly about. The employers, as- sisted by the male help, partially quieted the girls and piloted them to the stairway and all reached the street in safety, but mwost of them without their wraps and hats. The fire burned five hours and com- pletely wrecked the building. The loss is estimated at $300,000, most of which is Ronalds & Co.’s. Fay, Harman & Chad- wick place their loss at $25,000. POOR JOHY L. SULLIVAR. How the Ex-Champion Has a Cancer and He May Lose His Right Hand. BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 27.—John L. Sulli- van’s mighty right fist has been attacked by cancer and the entire arm is in immi- nent danger of having to be amputated. A few days ago the pain became so severe that he went to the Emergency Hospital and an operation was performed. Sulli- van was warned that if he did not follow outthe doctor's instructions to the letter . "the whole right arm might have to come off. g 1 PR BEAUTIFUL “AIDA” PRESENTED, Brilliant Opening of the Season of Grand Upera. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 27.—The open- ing night of the Mapleson Academy Opera Company turned out to be a brilliant suc- cess, botk socially and artistically. The familiar old house was filled by an audience that was from the first well dis- posed toward singers and performanc>. The opera was ‘‘Aida.” A little of the inevitable nervousness inseparable from the introduction of artists to a perfectly sirange audience was observed in Signor Durot (Rhadames) and Mme. Bonaplata- Bau (Aida). Mme. Bau is worthy of praise. Her vouce carries well and is steadily sustained, but is of a racy, pungent quality that re- quires familiarity to reconcile to its peculiarity. She isa good actress, with- out possessing either marked individual- ity or an excessive amount of grace. Bin- boni, Mapleson’s young conductor, showed himself a master. In the second act ali the Mapleson singers did conscientious and capable work, and the audience was excited to a pitch of enthusiasm. So great was the applause and so constant that finally all the cast, with Mapleson, the conductor and the stage manager, assed across the stage.” If the promise of ast evening is fulfilled the public can ex- . pect much that is agreeable from this opera season. e Heirs Divide the Money. “. NEW LONDON, Coxx., Oct. 27.—The American heirs of William Bindiess of Kendall, England, yesterday received their share of the estate. Palmer Bind- less of ihis city has been in England severa! months, looking afier the in- heritance that belongzed on this side of the Atlantic, and he brought the money back with him. The cizhtieirs met here yes- terday, and $141,000 was given to each. CLAINS OF THE BRYANITES, False Figures Given Uut by Campaign Chairman Campau. CHICAGO, Inn., Oct. 27. — Chairman Campan of the Democratic National Cam- paign Committee received to-day in reply to instructions issued some time ago, tele- graphic reports from 29 Democratic State chairmen, giving estimates as to how the States will record their votes one week from to-day, based on tbe latest informa- tion received by the State committees. This is the last formal report that will be made by the State chairmen. After com- viling the advices received Chairman Campau made the following statement to the. United Associated Presses: % The Democratic National Committee awaits the result of next week’s election with serene confidence. William Jennings Bryan will be elected by the largest popular majority given any President in a quarter of a ceptury. He will have more than 300 votes in the eléctoral college. Our reports from the Middle Western States show the effect of his wonderful campaigning tour through them. His majorities will be increased by many thousands as a result of his greaf journey. Illinois, Micnigan, Indi- ana, Iowa and Minnesota are absolutely safe, and our chences of success in Ohio and Wis- consin are more than flattering. Senator Gorman guerantees us Maryland. Our reports from Kentucky are that Republi- can monopoly and Democratic treason will be outvoted by more than 40,000. The desperate and despotic effort to coerce and buy the American people is doomed to dismai and bumiliating failure. Tne foliowing States will give their votes for Bryan without the shadow of a doubt: Alabams, Californis, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Mlching'.n. flu’;‘??.'&'}:‘x: Montana, Nevads, North Dakota, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Washingto: Wyoming, Axknnlu.'Colondo, Gequtu.sullt nois, Iow! Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oregon. South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia. Total electoral votes, 283. Inaddition to this our chances of success in the following States are far better than those of the Republicans: Delaware, Ohio, Wisconsin—total, 38 electoral votes. _The brag and bluster of the Republican National Committee in claiming 350 electoral votesis shown in the ineclusion in their esti- mates of such States as Texas, Idaho, Utah and Montans, where the majority for Bryen can only be measured by considering almost the whole voting population for him. It is time that the people understood plainly that McKinley will not carry the country, . Chairman Campau then gave the follow- ing reports from the State chairmen ex- actly as the messages came over the wires: Arkansas—Democratic and Populist fusion on the electoral ticket working harmoniously and will receive at least 95,000 votes. Me- Kinley will not recetve over 35,000, Bryan’s majority will be 60,000 in Arkausas. California—In my opinion, in spite of in- timidation and coercion which are bein racticed in all the cities and large towns o California to a very great extent, they cannot prevent by any possible means the cleetion of the fusion electors by a majority that will not fall below 25,000. Colorado—Bryan and Sewsll electors will have 120,000 majority in Colorado. Connecticut—The Republicans are boastful, making reckless estimates without anything to back them. Impossible to make canvass. Workingmen, regardless of past affiliations, unanimous for Bryan. Republicans are count- ing McKinley buttons worn by workingmen and basing estimates upon tbem. Workingmen weargMcKinley buttons to retain employment. In one factory where the superintendent made 8 canvass in a room of eighteen, the canvass showeda: McKinley 17, doubtful I. The way they will vote is: Bryan 12, MecKinley 5, doubtful 1. I believe there is a surprise in store for the Republicans. Will elect Congress- men in the Second (New Haven) District, pos- sible one in the Fourth (Bridgeport) District. The silver men are hopeful, while the Repub- licans are full of bluff and biuster. Idaho—Bryan will carry Idaho by 18,000 majority. Illinois—The corrected poll of nearly all the counties in the State shows a substantial gain over the first poll taken. There seems to be no doubt of a large Demo- cratic majority in the State outside Chicago andG we are now confident of carrying that city. Making the largest allowance for the doubtiul vote we can count on a plurality of at least 30,000 for Bryan. We shall elect fourteen of the twent; ne Congressmen. Indiana—The situation was Dever brighter for a sweeping Democratic_victory. I am confident we will give Mr. Bryan the electoral vote of Indiana; electa Legislature and carry nine and probably all of the thirteen Congressional distriets, besides our State ticket—all by a safe major: Notwith- standing the attempts atcoercion and cor- ruption, the people are loyal and determined. All the recentaileged defections which have been heraided by the gold-standard press are of men allied with corporations and who fought the silver element prior to the Chicago convention and have given the ticket no sup- port since, so that the effect of their desertion was long since discounted. The free-silver Republican vote will exceed the gold-standard vote three to one. Kansas—Kansas is absolutely safe for a ma- jority for Bryan electors of not less than 40, 000." State fusion ticket will also be elected. We will elect six Congressman and good fight- ing chauce for the other two. Usmpaign is in splendid shape. Louisiana—Louisiana certain. Democratic electoral ticket will receive 40,000 or 50,000 majority. Expect solid Democratic delega- tion to Congress. % Michigan—There is no doubt that Michigan will give its electoral vote to Bryan. Our con- clusions are based upon the following reasons: A harmonious union of all the elements that in ail past Presidential elections have con- stituted a majority, These united forces have constantly incre at the expense of the Re- publican party. Not a day but reports come from every county asserting that we are stead- ily gaining new converts. A poll of thirty counties shows twenty-eight will give majorities for Bryan. The precinets polled show an average of sixteen Republicans who will vote for Bryan. If the average in the thirty counties holds good through the entire State it will amount to over 30,000, which would 1ndicate & majority of not less than 36,000 for Bryan. This calculation assumes that the gain from prohibition votes would equal the vote for Palmer and Buckner. There is no escaving the conclusion that the State is safe for Bryan and the entire ticket. Minnesote—Minnesota will give the Bryan electoral ticket 20,000 to 25,000. Miss sirpi—Thc Democratic free-silver ma- jority will not be less than 75,000, Full free- silver Congressional delegation. Missouri—Bryan’s majority in Missouri can- not be less than 65,000. The State ticket, on which there i$ no fusion, may run 20,000 be- low this. The Legislature wiil be safely Dem- ocratic in both branches, and largely so in the jomnt ballot, and will re-elect Hon. George G. Vest 1o the United States Senate. We will elect fourteen Congressmen. Montana—Montana will give the Bryan electors at least 12,000 majority. Nebraska—Our poll shows 17,000 majority in fayor of Bryan. Nevada—The total vote of this State will be 10,600. The Bryan electorel ticket will re- ceive 7000 votes. Newlands will be re-elected o Congress by an increased majorit North Carolina—Electoral fusion between Democrats, Populists and silver Republicans is complete in North Carolina, which will re- ceive & majority for Bryan of 30,000 at least. North Dakota—Nortn Dakota will be for Bryan by 3000 on a conservative estimate, pased on a full poll of the State. There are not to excee 2000 gold Democrats in the State, while there are fully 5000 silver Republicans, many of them prominent leaders; will also elect Congressmen and a full fusion State ticket, with aimost a certain- ty of carrying the Legislature and electing Uni‘ed States Senator. In the Legislative hght the Republicans have a majority of twelve of holdover State Senators, but their corrupt legislative record, with overwhelming siiver sentiment among the farmers, will give us a majority. Oregon—Oregon 1s safe for Bryan at from 8000 to 4000—a very comnservative estimate. Republican claims are largely exaggerated. South Carolina—This State will give Bryan a majority of at least 50,000. All Democratic candidates for Congress will be elected. South Dakota—We are confident this State ?'iu give Bryan electors 5000 to 8000 ma- jority. Texas—From the informsation obtainable the Bryan and Sewafl electors will have & clear majority of 150,000 over Mc- Kinley. Tnere is no possible combination that can defeat Bryan and Sewall in Texas, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding. This estimate is based on & careful and conservative poll of the State. Utah—Bryan will carry this State by 40,000 majority. King, the Democratic candidate for Congress, surely elected. Will elect Demo- cratic Legisiature. Virginia—Virginia is safe for Bryan by a handsome majority. Washington—Washington will give Bryan at least 15,000. Wyoming—Wyoming will give Bryan not less than 1800 majority, and it may reach 3000. The Hanna managers are using des- perate efforts to buy and steal the State, but they cannot buy and steal enough to reduce the majority below the above mentioned figures. Ex-Governor Osborne will be elected to Congress over Mondell, the present Con- gressman, without doubt. Floride—There 1s no doubt whatever that the vote of Fiorida will be for Bryan and Sewall by & majority of from 10,00 6 15,000. West Virginia—We will carry West Virginia for Bryan and the entire State ticket by from 8000 to 10,000 majority, and will certainly elect three and probably all the Democratic candidates for Congress. Maryland—Our campaign is exceedingly warm, and we are more than satisfied with the progress we have made. Tl s ARE THE TRUE DEMOCRATS. Senttments of Palmer and Buckner Ewx- pressed at Omaha. OMAHA, NeBe, Oct. 27.—Senator John M. Palmer and Simon B. Buckner, candi- dates respectively for President and Vice- President on the National Democratic ticket, arrived hereat 11 o’clock this morn- ing from Council Bluffs. They were met by a delegation of gold Democrats and escorted to a hotel, where they rested until evening. To-pight the Presidential nominee addressed an au- dience of 2000 people and was received with considera ble enthusiasm. Senator Palmer asserted that the true Democracy in convention assembled at Indianapolis was upholding the time- honored prinéiples of the party which had been spurned by a convention assembled under thc name of “Democracy’” at Chicago. He scored the free silver Democrats and said that the principles of the party would be upheld by the courageous ones who stand for National honor to-day. General Buckner followed with a review of the party since Jefferson, ciscussing the arguments of Mr. Bryan and free silver advocates at considerable length. The audience was largely composed of Republicans, who cheered the mention of McKinley’'s name and the arguments for sound money liberally. R. B. Robb, gold nominee for Governor, spoke briefly. “KID" LAVIGNE IS THE VICTOR, Gets the Decision From Everhart After a Hot Fight. Twenty-Four Fast and Furious Rounds Boxed by the So-Called Lightweights, STOPPED BY THE REFEREE, But the New York Police Were in At- tendance to Prevent a Possib'e Knockout. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 27.—The arena of the Bohemiam Sporting Club was filled to its utmost capacity to-night to witness for the first time in this club a champion- ship contest—that between “Kid’’ Lavigne and Jack Everhart of New Orleans. There were three events on the programme. The first bout was a six-round affair at 122 pounds between Jack Delaney and Jack Burge. At the end of the sixth round the referee awarded Delaney the de- cision. David Wall and Jerry Reedy at 112 pounds were the next pair to appear. Reedy, who is a novice, was simply a punching-bag for Wall, and his antics created much merriment. In the fourth round heshouted, “He couldn’t knock me out with a sledge hammer.” Wall con- tinued his punching in the last tworounds and easily won the decision. The purse hung up was $3500 and the vrices charged for admission, $30, $20 and $10, kept the class of spectators very select. This was the second meeting be- tween Everhartand Lavigne. At Coney Island they fought a twenty-round battle two years ago, when Luavigne got the deci- sion. The betting to-night was $1000 to $700 on Lavigne, who has improved wonderfuily since that time. To-nighi’s contest was advertised as being for the “light-weight championship of the world,” but the weights at which the men fought precludes any such conclusion; besides, Jack Mec- Auliffe undoubtedly holds the light-weight championship. Just before the bout Police Commis- sioner Andrews and Acting Inspector Harley arrived. It was understood from the Commissioner that he was present to see how far the Horton boxing bill provi- sion operated in an important glove con- test of this kind, but that the Inspector was there to prevent a ‘‘knockout.” Just before the men shook hand La- vigne’s party registered one bet of $5000 to $2500 on their man. Lavigne entered the ring at 10:25, ac- companied by Sam Fitzpairick. He was quickly followed by Everhart and Charley ‘White at 10:30. The betting was in favor of Lavigne at big odds. A few offered even money that Lavigne would win in ten rounds. *“Hon- est John"” Kelly wasreferee. The men were to fight twenty-five rounds at 138 pounds, and it was announcea that both had weighed in under the limit. At 10:40 they shook hands. Round 1—The Kid landed on the body and Jack on the head. After a lively rally Jack forced the Kid to the side of the ring. Ever- hart missed with the left, but Lavigne ran in arighton the jaw. The Kid put & straight left on the chest and repeated it with a good left on the eye. Everbart landed on the Kid's wind, and a clinch followed. Round 2—Lavigne landed on the chest. Jack swung wildly and the Kid punched him right and left on the stomach. The Kid landed a good right on the neck, receiving one on the jaw, and then got home heavily with his left on ihe body and his right on the ear.’ Body biows were exchanged as the gong sounded. Round 3—Lavigne opened with two straight lefts on the mouth and received a stinger on the jaw. Jack whipped his right into.the wind and’ George retaliated with a good left on the ribs and right on the chest. Another straight left from Lavigne followed on Jack’s chest, l;ld another, and stiil & third in the same place. Round 4—The Kid rushed, and Jack caught him on the jaw with a left. In the mix-up hot work was done by both, and Everhart puta terrific right on the jaw of his man. They ex- changed lefts, and Jack staggered with two hard right swings on the ear. Another smash from the Kid’s ieft sent Jack wobbling. Round 5—Lavigne opens hostilities with a left on'the jaw and then the left on the head, and Jack clinches. The Kid swings left and right on ear and head, and Jack reaches the Kid’s jaw with a left, but it lacked force. After a smash on the ear Jack looks weary, but Eut & good left on the jaw. Lavigne upper- cut him as the round closed. Round 6—They clinched at start. Jack jabbed with his right on the chest and the Kid beat & tattoo with right and left. Lavigne ducked an awful smash from Everhart ane close quarters hammered away at Jack’s body. Just as the bell rang the Kid landed two straight lefts. @Round 7—Jack put his left on the Kid's jaw. Lavigne then banged Everhart three times with his left on the face and Jack clinched. The Kid uppercut viciously twice with the left, receiving one on the jaw in re- turn. They exchanged rights on head &nd body as ihe round closed. Round 8—Jack opened with & good left on the head and the Kid reached the body. La- vigne lended on the jaw, sending Jack’s head back. Everhart played for head and the Kid smashed him time and time again. . Round 9—Layigne ducked into a left on_the jaw, but pounded Jack on the ribs, The Kid is putiing in_telling work and Everhart staggers and is all but gone when the gong sounds. Round 10—Everhart comes up smiling and looking fresh after the awful punishment. Lavigne goes righi at the body and Jack for the head, but clinches when it gets too warm. The Kid lands three awful lefts and catches Jack full on the jaw. He staggers against the referee as the gong rings. ? Round 11—Everbart lands right and left lightly on the head and receives three in the same place. Jack swings his left on the ear, but was nearly floored with two swinging lefts on the jaw. He receives a straight right and left on the head avd two more on the jaw as the round ends. Round 12—Everhart swings on the ribs. They are slugging each other terrifically, Everbart showing that he is a | gluiton for punishment. He puts his right on Lovigne's wind and takes a bad ‘left on the jaw. Ever- hart looked glad when the gong sounded. Round 13—Everhart opens with a left on the jaw and swings his right to the same place, recetving two on the ribs in return. Three times Lavigne gets in on the body and head. A hot rally and hot exchanges follow. Everhart looks dazed but is still in it. Round 14—The Kid opens with a left on the ribs, taking a right on the jaw in return. Everhart rushes Lavigne to the ropes and lands right and left on the head. The Kid lands a hard one on the ribs, following it up with o perfeet voiley of blows. Everhart is ltund{ng fnni!hmem well. Round 15—Everhart uppercuts the Kid with terribie force. It is hammer and tongs, and Jack gets in heavily on the face with the left. Th‘a'{ slug at long range with honors even, but Lavigne gets in a good left on the chest at the end. Round 16—Everhart puts in a good right on the jaw, but the Kid whipped i rl:hl in gla::nkfl-’ lfiz lm‘x:i times. Jack clinches con- 0 ge! nan u; reu!l closes) " & tane round, Lo o 48 theround Round 17—Everhart opens with a hard left on the ear, receiving one on the ribs iv return. A brisk rally follows, and Jack lands with right and left on the jaw and ear, the Kid mesnwhile Bhndng blqir after blow on the head 'Iuh the left and hard swings on the jaw with the right as the bell ends it. Ronnd 18—The Kid ducks clumsily for a left and Jack paftes him twice on the jaw. La- vinge runs into a straight left, but comes back with right and left on tne head. Two more smashes from the Kid’s left and Everhart is roggy for a moment, but recovering gets ome With the right on the face three times. The pace is telling on both. Round 19--A few good exchanges, but lots of clinching and the referee’s cry “break” be- comes monotonous. Jack is back with right and leit swings on the face. The bell was & welcome sound to both. Round 20—The New Orleans man is nearly downed with a right swing on the ear; another right swing staggers him once more, but the next moment he is dancing around and lands uhlen n‘;x the jaw. Everhart was very tired at the end. Round 21—Everhart jabs with left and they clineh. A hot exchange follows. The Kid bangs the raw spot on Evarh-.n;- ribs time and timé again. He lands on Jack’s jaw twice and Everhart reels again. Asthe gong rang Everhart was only prevented from falling by Lavigne's glove against his head. Round 22 — They came _together with lefts on the jaw and the Kid shoots his left three times on the head. A mixup follows and then the Kid put three straight lefts on the face. Everhart was still abie to swinga light left on the head as the gong sounded. ound 23—The Kid swings right on Ever- harts ear, and the latter upper-cuts with right, but Lavigne plunged his left three times inthe face ana ripped his right into Jack’s wind pitilessly. Jack clinches his man to keep !gnm falling, Three more body blows from Lavigne and Jack makes only feeble efforts to reply. They clinch and Lavigne is nolding Everhart up at the end of the round. Round 24—An exchange of rights and the Kid ducks into an upper-cut. Then Lavigne resumes his banging on the head and ribs. A right swing on the jaw sends Everhart reeling and another straightens him up. A third one staggers him again, when the referee jumped between them and stopped ‘the bout, award- ing the fight to Lavigne, after one minute and and &lty—lhree seconds of the twenty-fourth roun Everhart took punishment enough to have finished a half dozen men, and his frequent recoveries were astonishing.

Ll Rk A Costly Wreck. BT.LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 25.—A costly wreck occurred at Maine and Hempstead streets at 6 o’clock yesterday evening. The Mer- chants’ Granite City train crashed into the rear end of tue St. Paul and Peoria train of the Bluff line, demolishing a coach and the'Merchants’ engine. No one was injured.

Tresno County Trouble. _ FRESNO, Cax., Oct. 27.—Serious trouble is brewing in the oil wells in western Fresno County. The fields, which are certain to be productive of much wealth, were located by Fresno, Tulare and Vi- salia capitalists under the vrovisions of the mineral land law. In August of this ear Hoke Smith roled that petroleum ands were noi mineral lands. Possessors of oil fields disregarded Smith’s ruling, and now certain persons have filed home- steads on lands referred to. The feeling against the trespassersis very. bitter, and the original locators say that they will forcibly repel all interiopers and if necessary will apply the torch to every well in' the district. Many thou- sands of dollars have been invested by original locators, and much petrolenm is now being shipped to Los Angeles. The matter will at once be taken into the couris and a loag and costly litigation will follow. e e Napa Stage Wrecked. NAPA, CAL, Oct. 27.—While comiag down the grade between Napa and Monti- cello to-day the brake of a stage gave way, and the horses were soon beyond the con- trol of the driver.

Portuguese- Americans Addressed in Their Mother Tongue. HALFMOON BAY, Car, Oct. 27.—One of the most enthusiastic political demon- strations this quaint old town has seen in many days was that at Oad Fellows’ Hall to-nigit. Many of the country folks came to listen to an eloquent plea for sound money and protection by the Hon. Frank I. Lemos. The majority of the voters here are Portuguese-Americans and the address of the brillians editor was delivered in the Portuguese language. The speaker said he was opposed to the platform and the ticket nominated at Chi- cago, because the doctrines therein set forth were unsound and dangerous and would work incalculable injury to the whole people of the republic. To prevent hereafter undue reaction against whole- some and legitimate criticism of govern- ment, it was necessary to reject, with an emphasis approaching unanimity, the ex- treme and sweeping innovation proposed by the Democratic platiotm. The speaker was loudly cheered and the meeting ad- journed, with all standing and cheering for McKinley and H.bart, st g SAN RAFAEL MASS-MEETING. Catt and Governor Budd Deliver - Addresses.

Perilous Venture of a Seaman to Escape From the British Ship Andrade. 2 PORTLAND, O=r., Oct. 27.—Diving over- board from a ship off the Columbia River bar, with the intention of swimming ashore, seems little less than suicidal, yet this was what was done yesterday by William Downs, able seaman, on board the British ship Andrade, rather than go to sea with the vessel. Bome of the men, feeling that they had not received fair treatment from the con- signors by the mastsr of the vessel, re- fused to *‘turn tg” when the ship left port. *‘Realizing that 1T had been set down as | the leader,” said Downs, after reaching shore, “and that when we got outside, where to resent any kind of ill treatmen t is mutiny, the officers would improve their opportunity to get even by suh)echn.f me to ali manner of privations and hard- ships, and that when we reached England what little I had coming to me would be taken from me for delaying the ship, I de- termined to leave her. “Accordingly I slipped off my shoes, dropped over the side of the vessel and started for shore. It was a long swim and a desperate one, for we had passed the Southern Head (Fort Stevens),but death in the ocean, which has been my home for nigh on to thirty years, was preferable to the hell that ship would have been for me during the voyage home. < It was a hard swim against the ebbing tide, and me trying to beat across itto Jand. Rising on every crest the spray would dash onto my face, almost strang- ling me with the salt water sentflying down my throat. “Looking over my shoulder I could see the tug steadily steaming ahead with the Andrade, and that gave me courage to battle on. “Then the Government steamer Men- dell bore down on me ana picked me up. They had seen me irom the shore, and lucky it was, for I could not have held out many minutes longer.” —_——— ARRIVES AT TACOMA. Stormy Passage of the Steamer Amara= poora From Hongkong.
