Frank D. Ryan of Sacramento, Jacob | H. Neff of Colfax, A. B. Lemmon of | Santa Rosa, Thomas Flint Sr. of Monte- rey and Lee of Los Angeles were the Republican candidates.

Three of the Crew of the Sealing Schooner Mary Taylor While Out Hunting off Point Reyes Lost the Vessel in a Fog and Captain Nelson Gave Them Up for Lost After Searching in the Vicin Landed at the Mouth of Russian River, However, and Sold the Schooner’s Boat and Hunting Guns to the Fishermen and Ranchers for whatever They Could Get. ity for Twenty-four Hours. The Men SEALERS IN HARD LUCK The Weather Unfavora- ble and the Hunters Deserting. Three of the Crew of the Mary | Taylor Lost the Schooner in a Fog. Landed at the Mouth of Russian River and Sold the Vessel's Boat and Guns. This year’s sealing fleet is not a very large one, and those vessels that did venture out are having a hard time of it. Captain Billy O'Leary of the schooner Geneva reports that seals are very scarce and wild, and the weather very unsuitable for hunting. Captain A. Nelson of the schooner Mary Taylor lost seven of his men and had to put into port for repairs. He also reports seals being very scarce. So the chances for anything like a catch this year are very poor. The Mary Taylor left Victoria, B. C., last Monday for a cruise along the coast. A week ago one of the boats got lost in the fog while out hunting. The schooner cruised about in the vicinity for twenty-four hours, when the cap- tain came to the conclusion that the men had either reached shore in safety or that the boat had gone down and the men were drowned. ago the foremast head of the schooner was sprung in a gale of wind, and the captain had to put into Drakes Bay for repairs. On his arrival there he found that the mer who were lost in the fog had reached the mouth of Rus- slan River in safety. They sold the boat to two fishermen and the hunting guns to a rancher and then made the best of their way to San Francisco. Two of the men started to walk—one of them walking along the edge of the cliff and the other sticking to the beach. The fog came down again and they lost each other. The man who was on the cliff has not been seen since, but the one who stuck to the beach reached San Francisco in safety where he was found by Captain Nelson yesterday. s While the work of repairing the schooner was going on four more of the crew deserted. The captain and the mate chased them for quite a distance, but they also got lost in the fog and made their escape. Being seven men short in his crew Captain Nelson had to come to San Francisco in order to fill the vacancies. He got his men to- gether last night and at once left for Drakes Bay. He expects to continue his hunting cruise to-day. The Cox & Marvin sealing fleet of Victoria, B. C., will not be put in com- mission this year. All their schooners were hauled out of retirement and docked at the various wharves. The sailors and hunters had been engaged. Indian crews for some of the boats had been secured and the stores were on board, when the owners suddenly changed their minds and re_turryed the vessels to their anchorage in Victoria arm. There they lie until a more favor- able opportunity for seal hunting ar- rives. The precautions taken by the TUnited States to prevent poaching seems to have had a good deal to do with the nnn};cnmlm{ssioning of this ritish sealers. flel(:lt\edrifxx'er steamer Herald broke down at a most opportune time yes- terday. She had completed her morn- ing trip from Vallejo and Mare Island and was just backing into Green-street wharf to discharge some flour when her shaft broke. Luckily her stern lines held and she was warped into her perth without doing any damage. While her new shaft is being put in the steamer Sonoma will take her place on the Vallejo run. About twenty-five painters, patchers and piledrivers were discharged by the Harbor Commissioners yesterday. Ow- ing to the injunction now pending in court treated piles for the repairing of the wharves cannot be procured, am: of departments urder the commission are in attendance on the court and cannot look after the men at work.
