SHE SAILED EROM THE NAVY-YARD {Came Here Under Sail With Captain Glass in Command. The Only Occasion on Which a Warship Came Down With- out a Tow. Later News Frem the Old-Time Dere- lict, Honresfeld—Now in the Atlantic. The sinking of the battle-ship 'Texas alongside the drydock has brought Cap- tain **Harry” Glass into prominence. He is well known on the Pacific Coast and not a man who served under him but sympathizes with him in his trouble. It is now over sixteen years ago since Cap- tain Glass was in command of the train- ing ship Jamestown. At that time the vessel was on the Pacitic Coast. While Captain Glass was a rigid disciplinarian, he was also one of the most kind-hearted men in the flect and all the officers and men loved bim. Twice he sailed the Jamestown up to Mare Island for repairs, but on only one occasion did he attempt to sail her down. The trip was a venturesome one as the waters of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers make the current treacherous near the junction. Nevertheless, Captain Glass | determined to save the United Statesa | tow and accordingly sailed the warship | down to port. All went well until after the “Sisters’”” were past and then the cap- tain had a brush with “The Brothers.” | His good ship held her way, however, in spite of all obstacles and finally reached the open waters of the bay. The accom- | panying picture is from an old sketch and | shows the Jamestown on the last tack for a clear run. On one occasion the Independence sailed up to Mare Island, but she never sailed back again, so the Jamestown can 1 the honor of being the oniy United -of-war that eversailed through ts to the navy-yard and back again. Captain Glass was complimented n and again upon the feat and in spite of the Texas affair he wiil always be re- | membered among old sailers on this coast | as the only man who ever brought a sloop- var irom Mare Island to San Francisco un After being detached from the Jamestown Capta:n Glass was put in charge of the equipment department at | Mare Island and later was made captain yard. | to Newport, R, and ever since has been in use as a training-ship.

Mr. Furuseth hopes that in time bhe wiil secure some amendments to the Magzuire ! act that will materiaily assist the sailors. After being many months in pert the captain of the Alice Knowles hassuddenly discovered that in latitude 9 north, longi- tude 175 east, he saw the derelict Honres- feld. This occurred on December 28, 1825. It was in Kebruary, 1893 that the stout British ship was abandoned. While on her way here with a cargo of coal the lat- ter took fire, and finally the crew, having done everything in their power to put it out, abandoned her. When the news reached San Francisco the big tug Fearless was sent out to look for the derelict, but failed to find it. Next the newscame that { it was stranded on one of the South Sea | coral 1slands, and that was the last heara from the derelict until Captain Ogden | made his report. | George McLane, the well-known freight clerk on the Pacific Mail dock, died yester- day of dropsy. He was one of the best i known of the old-time pursers on the { front. For years he was in the employ of | the Mail company, and later transferred | his allegiance to the Oceanic Steamship Companv. Whiie the Zealandia was in commission he ran between here and Aus- | tralia, but when she was laid up he was out of a job. Finally he took the position of chief freight clerk on the Mail dock and held it until the day of his death. | George McLane wass whole-souled gentle- { man and made a Lost of friends while in the employ of the Oceanic and Pacific Meil steamship companies. Captain _Hellingsen of the four-masted schooner Defender met with a serious ac- cident last Saturday. His men were slow in catting the anchor, and he went for- | ward to assist them. A sudden slip in the rope pinned his leg to the capstan and broke the leg in three places.

N V. b ot PAULY OUT WITH AN AR CRUISER All the Known Principles of Aeronautics in Combination. Not Designed to Carry Either | Freight or Passenger Trains. The Inventor of the New Wonder Assured by Scientists That He Has a Good Thing. This is different. That is to say it is unlike the aerial wonder whose legal destinies are presided over by General Hart. Max Pauly, mechanical engineer and inventor, who resides at 504); Minna street, has constructed a model ot a flying machine that differs most radically from anything ever before seen on the face of to contain about 500 cubic yards of hydro- gen gas to carry three men and the appa- ratus with all its accessories. ““The whole structure will be constructed about a central mast of drawn steel tubing. This will be in three telescopic sections. From the center of the mast three elongated gas bodies will project at equal distance, but they will be attached in such a manner that they can be raised or depressed, and also moved from side to side. At the outer extremity of each will be a propeller, and above and below will be fastened a hollow sail, giving the ap- paratus six sails. Between each gas body will be stretched stout silken cloth. In this way will be secured a huge circu- lar aeroplane. In case of accident to the gas bodies and machinery the whole ap- paratus can be quickly converted into an immense parachute. *All the dead weight, such as the water and fuel supply, machinery, anchor, wind- lasses for controlling the sailsand gas bodies, and cabin for. the captain of the airship, will be at the lower end of the mast, thus bringing the center of the | gravity so low as to always maintain the equilibrium of the contrivance. “In starting the huge arm-like gas bodies are deflected earthward, so asto offer the least possible resistance to the atmosphere as the apparatus rises and at the same time the propellers are putin operation, thus aiding the upward flight of the machine. When the one hundred | feet of rope, which is to be attached to the anchor, 1s drawn taut the gas bodie« will be drawn to a horizontal position and ‘the anciior wili be then hauled aboard. . “Ishall, of course, sclect the most favor- able kind of weather for the first trial. After the machine has risen to the desired altitude that one of the gas bodies which | points with the wina will become the | front of the apparatus. The other two will be drawn toward one another so as to form a bhuge wedge of the whole apra- | MAX "PAULY’S il “DIFFERENTIAL FLYING APPARATUS” [From the plans and specifications of the inventor.] The Beaver Hill collier Czarina, after a thorough overhauling, had steam in her new boilers yesterday. 1f all goes well she will have her irial trip next Thurs- day. Henry C. Tabrett, marine superin- tendent of the Risdon Iron Works, has looked after the job, and that is sufficient to say that nothing but good workman- ship has gone into the vessel. Yesterday was the anniversary of Mr. Tabrett's eighth year with the Risdon, and during all that time there has never been a “kick” about poor work. Among the engineers on ocean going steamers Harry is very popular, and whenever an English ship requires repairing he invariably gets the job. Unless he branches out for him- self Tabrett is good for another eight iye:\rs with the Risdon. He is the right man in the right place. A boat manned by crab fishermen cap- sized off the Cliff House yesterday. One of the men was washed away and drowned, bui the other held on until rescuea by the life-saving crew. He could not taik Eng- lish-and when sufficiently recovered dis- appeared. Both men were Italians. Tne British ship Butlej, which arrived several days ago, was in five typhoons and had her cargo damaged. The chances are that there will be a general average. Kern County Game. £ At the suggestion of resident sportsmen the Bupervisors of Kern County passed an ordi- nanee which went into effect on the 1st inst., prohibiting tbe shipment of quail or wild duck out ot the county. It is said that the profes- sional hunters will fight the ordinance ip -the courts. It is, nevertneless, the right move in the right direction and other counties wiil doubtless follow suit.

He has been mentally at work on his marvel for six years, but made no at- tempt to give his ideas concrete form until the beginning of the present vear. Then, during a period of enforced id!eness caused by a dull season with his employers, he worked eight hours a day for three weeks, making the many parts and fittings of his “'differential iying machine,” as he calls it, and putting them together. Mr. Pauly is modest withai. He does not claim any extraordinary speed for his apparatas, nor does he attempt to make any one believe that it will sail in the teeth of a wi His invention, he says, is' a combination of ba!loon, aeroplane, parachute, sailing vessel and steamship. *I do not expect my invention to carry a freight trajn nor s passenger train be- neath it,” said the inventor. *‘To talk of doing that by any aerial contrivance is simply nonsense. All that I expect to do is to carry from three to a half dozen men and to have the apparatus used for war purposes, for pleasure cruises by people rich enough to afford them, and for ¢x- ploration purposes in such districts as the interior of Africa, Australia, portions of Mexico and South America. **My model Is not & working model, but is simply for demonstration purposes. 1 have carefully and mathematically figured the whole plan out, and have no doubt it will do as I claim. To construct a ma- chine that will carry three people will cost from $6000 to $8000. I have no idea what speed can be obtained. Ido not gmpose to sail directly against the wind, but will be able to travel in a direciion opposite to the wind by tacking, juss as a ship does when met by a head wind. “For motive power I shail depend vpon the air crrrents and upon propeliers worked by machinery by means of a gaso- line or naphtha engine. For sustaining power hydrogen e¢as will be used. One cubic yard of this gas will sustain two pounds of weight, so that my gas ies, of waich there are three, and the six hol- low sails which I propose to use will have ratus. The propelier on the front gas body will be given a motion to draw the apparatus after it and the other two pro- pellers will be used to generate driving power. The sails above and below will be set 5o as to take advantage of the wind. The steering will be done by proper ma- nipulation of the yroguers. sails and gas bodies. There will no special rudder, as the whole machine will be made on what is known as the cross rudder prin- ciple, “When the sails are set: they will be in- flated with gas, and when furled the gas will be forced into the regular gas bodies, s0 there will be no waste of -gas. . Ascent and descent will be made by the deflection of the front gas body, and .consequently there will be no need of carrying any bai- last. The propellers and, in fact, all the workable parts of the apparatus will be controlled by the engineer, who will be located in the engine-room. - The connec- tions with the propellers will run through the hollow mast and the gas bodies.” Mr. Paulv has already made application for a patent on bis machine, and is now endeavoring to enlist capital for the pur- pose of constructing an experimental “differential flying macnine’’ capable of carry three people. He claims to have submitted his “dem- onstration model”” to a number of scien- tific gentlemen more or less familiar with aeronautics, all of whom, he said, pro- nounced th2 invention a good thing. Missionary Reception, An interesting reception was tendered yes- terday by the Woman’s Occidental soard of Foreign Missions to Dr. Fisher and Miss Greer of North Carolina. Dr. Fisher gave an at- tractive account of the Protestant college at Beiroot, Syria, with which he was connected for five years. Miss Greer, who leaves on Thursday for the missionary field in Japan, spoke about the gmwlnq interest felt in m sionary work by the women of North Carolin: Dr. Sturge made a few remarks about medical and missionary work in Siam.

His Throat Was Cut and He Was Then Threwn Ianto the Bay. There Are Discrepancies in His Story Which the Police Will Invastigate. A bold robbery and attemipted murder were committed last night by two footpads upon John Van Aiken, 675 Misslon street, who is employed in the restaurant at the Emporium. After leaving the restaurant last night Van Aiken says he went for a stroll. He walked aleng Market street in the direc- tion of the ferry, and when he reached Battery street two men accosted him, One of them pretended to know him and tried to jog his memory by saying be worked for him five or six years ago. Van Aiken told him that he could not remem- man was right he continued to conve: with him and his compenion. After a few minutes the man who pre- tended to know Van Aiken suggested they should walk along Battery street to the water front instead of going in the di- rection of the ferry. Van Aiken had no objection and the three walked along Battery street, taiking all the way. When they reached the water front the two strangers headed for Green- street wharf and Van Aiken, totally unsus- vicious of danger, followed them. There was not a soul in sight, and as| soon as they reacted a dark place on the | wharf one of the men dropped behind Van Aiken, grabbed him by the head and { dragged it backward. Van Aiken saw the | gleam of steel, but before he could cty out the man drew a knife or razor across his tbroat. The other man rifled his pockets of $47 50 and then they threw him into the water. The men then disappeared in the dafk- ness, but none too soon, as Van Aiken’s cries for help soon brought several neople to his assistance, and he was carried to a saloon on the corner of Green and Davis streets. The harbor police station was at once notified and the ambulance was sum- moned from the Receiving Hospital. The wound was about four inches long and two inches deep. The windpipe was severed and the blade narrowly missed the juguiar. Van Aiken had a close eall, and as it is he is in a critical condition from the loss of blood. Van Aiken described the two men as follows: One about 5 feet 2or 3inches tall, lizht mustache and looked like a Swede; the other wasa large man, who talked like a German, and had a dark com- plexion. This was all the description he could give. b What Christmas gift is it that costs what- ever-you-want-to-pay Lasts a lifetime And adds beauty, comfort and cheer to the whole home? Come and see !

Thousands Borrowed From Friends Ameng the Schodl- teachers. A Salary of $175 Per Month Was Not Sufficent to Satisfy His Losses at Cards. An overfondness for whist and the com- | pany of women other than his wife ap- | pear to have caused the downfall of George ‘Wade, the assistant secretary of the Board of Education. He was oneof the most devoted members of the San Francisco Whist Club, at whose rooms playing for stakes is permitted, and spent much of his time in the ciub-rooms. The fact that his opponents were well- to-do men who could stand losses did not deter Wade from playing, for he consid- | ered himself a strong hand at whist. Even his salary of $175 per month could not stand the strain, and he was always in financial straits at the end of the month. “My husband was a member of the San Francisco Whist Club,” said Mrs. - Wade | vesterday. ‘‘He was a great devotee of the game and used to play there fre- quently. “T blame the whist club for all of our | trouble. George used to go there at nights and in a back room play whist for 20 cents atrick. He used to think he was a prelty good player, but I think there were others who were better. In this way he lost con- siderable money. and he was forced to borrow and neglect paving his bills to maie his losses good at the whist tabie. ““When he said he only piayed for 20 | cents a trick I thought that was nothing. The men he played with were rich, and George’s salary would not stand the drain of many losses. I wanted him to give up the whist club, but he was perfectly in- | fatuated with ihe game.” The San Francisco Whist Club is the only large organization devoted to the game in this City where playing for stakes is permitted. It was originally in- tended to have a clause in the by-laws NEW TO-DAY.

The heaviest losers by Wade's gambling habits are a number of schoolteachers with whom he had become intimate dur- ing his eignteen years’ service in the office. He was a steady and persistent bor- | Tower from these friends, and up to to- day $2000 in claims of this kind had turned up against him.
