THE SAN FKANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1898. BROUGHT IN BY A SOUTHWESTER Biggest Fleet of the Year Through the Golden Gate. Full Particulars of the Found- ering of the British Ship Alacame.

The voyage was British ship Atacama arrived by the Moana. The vessel left Newcastle, N. S: W., for San Diego soon after the New Year and foundered January 29th last. She sprang aleak and after work- ing the pumps for three days the crew decided to abandon her. Great diffi- culty was found in launching the boats, owing to the heavy sea that was run- ning, and owing to the short time at! the men’s disposal the boats were very poorly provisioned. Stormy weather came on and the| boats got separated. Captain Spruitt's boat got capsized and the five occu- pants were thrown into the water. | Four got back on her keel, but the| fifth, a little lad named Allen, on his first trip, was drowned. He had been injured and was lying in the bottom of the boat wrapped in a blanket and an | oilskin. After the capsize he never | came to the surface again. Most of the provisions and all the water in the boat were lost and for forty-eight hours the unfortunate men had not a drop to drink until picked up by the tug Lev- eret. The survivors were Captain Spruitt, | Boatswain Figuaro, Seaman Pinto and | Steward Skinner. They were all delir- ious when rescued, and the life of the | steward was despaired of. The boat-, swain behaved with great gallantry, and had it not been for him the captain would have been drowned. Several times the latter was washed off the keel of the ba again. Finally the boat was righted and all four men got into it. There are hopes that the Atacama's missing boats may be picked up by vessels bound to New Zealand. Search steamers were sent out from Newcastle the day the Monowai sailed and it was hoped that they might get some trace of the missing twelve men. A remarkable statement verified by other members of the family was made by Captain Spruitt’s ighter the day the Monowali sailed. She dreamed that she saw her fathe sel sink, de- scribed the men taking to the boats, told of them getting arated in the m ther was capsized she awoke with a ream.

DOGS OF HIGH DEGREE. Greyhounds That Wili Surprise the | Hares at Union Coursing Park The stranger, wishing to see the | sights of this municipality to the limit, | accepted the hospitable invitation so sincerely delivered, and, stuffing a large-sized gun in his hip pocket, and taking a heavy walking stick in his hand, started off with his three-hun- d-pound guide leading the way. | Their path led them through a quart- | er of the city seldom visited by the | curious tourists or the sensation-hunt- ing, blase scion of the wealthy clas It took them down along Third street | past cheap groggeries and gaudy res- taurants, second-class boot and shoe stores, squalid and dirty lodging- horses, the haunts of freaks and dope fiends, and finallv landed them in front of the wide entrance of a rather pre- | tentious-looking hall on Howard street, which was once known as Morosco's, and brought back to the stranger THE TOUGHEST DANCE IN THE CITY A Stranger Passes an Evening With “Fatfu” Blodes at the Howard Street Skating Rink Cotillon. The picture conjured up by the poster proved so alluring that the stranger could not resist its enchantment, so go- ing up to the ticket window he said to the rather wearied bit of feminity that looked out at him: “Is this the place to purchase tickets?” “Sure,” replied the jaded bit. “Whatcher suppose I'm here for?"” The stranger did not attempt to re- ply to the question, but, retiring within himself, produced half a dollar and, catching the two tickets that were thrown at him, went inside with his friend “Fatty.” Passing the door he found himself in an immense hall, once the floor of the old Morosco theater, with a stage at one end and a gallery running along either side with ts upon it and chalrs and tables under it on the main floor. On the stage a brass band of six pieces discoursed popular tunes of the “New Bully ariety; on the floor near- 1y three hundred men, women and chil- dren raced around on skates, and un- der the galleries young men and girls drank, smoked, craps, made love and fought, only pausing long enough to drain small tumblers of whisky or long schooners of “steam” that a hard- looking waiter, with an ingrowing face, brought to them from the sloppy bar at the front of the hall. As the stranger took a seat with his guide at one side of the hall and looked at the throng on the floor and around the tables there were three things that impressed themselves upon him. First the unmistakable toughness of the crowd as a whole, secondly the unmis- takable evidences of viciousness and dissipation on the faces of the women, which contrasted oddly with the com- parative. honesty of the countenances of their escorts, and thirdly the ex- treme youth of some of the girls, many of whom were mere children, who could not possibly have been over 12 or 13 years of age. “Fatty” seemed to be well known to every one in the hall, and, as the skat- ers would roll by, he would be greet; with “How’s de fat?” Hello, foice “Where's yer loidy?” *“Ain’t yer goin’ ter splel?” “Who's de mug wid yer?” etc., while his more intimate acquaint- ances would stop for a minute, and af- ter “trowin’ him de glad han’,” would indulge in badinage that would not look well in print. To one of these latter “Fatty” con- fided the fact that “Der stroinger wid | ‘fm wuz er bloke frum Noo York, wid his jeans full uf dough an’ er achin’ ter be blowed. Cud ‘Spider’ get er loidy?” Spider “‘cud” and departed, returning in a few moments with a little thing| who claimed to be 14, but who did not | look to be more than 12. She was pretty as a peach, with a full, lithe fig- ure, surmounted by a dimpled, oval face, on which the delicate bloom of young girlhood still lingered. This was the miss who was to do the “blowing,” or, in other words, to exer- cise on the stranger the witchery of her charms and relieve him of his “dough.” Her gentleman “frien’” was pre- | sented as “Spike” Casey and immedi- | ately introduced the child as “Flo de | Skate.” Flo didgher best to fulfill her | part of the contract, and if she failed it was owing to the interference of other interested parties who would persist in drifting up and invite the| stranger to “slide out on de floor an’| shake de kid who wuz only er guyin'| him an’ was no good.” This belittiing | of his loidy so irritated the placid | | “Spike” that he finally remonstrated with a party known as “Der Goat,” with the result that they both were helped to the sidewalk without the ne- cessity of treading on the stairs. Dancing by this time was under full | swing, the skaters keeping time to two | accordions, a banjo and a piano that had supplanted the brass band. Th reason of the change was explained b; “Mag de Rag” in a few words, “Cans | ain’t no good ’cept ter chase de duck wid, but der’es lots uf musik In ’er| ’cordien.” Things began to get rather warm and when three gentlemen, getting into | an argument, rolled down the stairs in | a bunch with one of the trio demand- | ing that another take his teeth out of his ear, the stranger thought it was time to go. So declining numerous in- vitations to “take 'er wad” he took his departure and left. ed Robinson, the sailors, on Saturday. o setting the staysall was knock. | mThé Interstate Coursing Club, J..F. |Visions and half-forgotten memories of ed into the wate; Hle vessel was t | Halton president, anticlpates having a | @ somewhat rapid vouth. o lowered.

The other day. as Mr. Bacon, feeling slightly out of humor, the result of too much lobster at a late supper the night before, was standing in the entrance of the Baldwin Theater, he was aporoacned by a rather fresh individual who, not- withstanding the fact that he was told that the manager was busy and did not desire to talk at that time, persisted in being heard while he recounted the nu- merous reasons why a position in the company should be given him. Finally he wound up by saying: “I tell you, sir, 1 will be an ornament to your company, for T have not only great dramatic talent, but I am, what you want most of a.u, a singer.” “Youw're a singer?”’ replied Mr. Bacon. “I thought vou talked like a machine, but from your appearance 1 imarined you to be a light-running Domestic.”” As soon as the reply had thorougaly soaked in the young man left.

Mrs. Foster, wife of Newton Foster of the Southern Pacific, returned home yes- heir, and, going down to his office the next day, left tne little fellow practicing bag-punching with the scarlet sphere in wue sitting-room, while his mother sat near by at work on some sewing. Shortly after the landlady and the other boarders in the house heard a terrific report, and, as one of the male guests had been drinking rather heavily for several days and had threatened to blow out his brains, they at once jumped to the con- clusion that the report was that of the pistol with which he was making his threat good. They rushed to his room, but were met by some strong language from its occupant, who had forgotten all about his threatened self-destrucuon. The suicide theory once started could not be abandoned, and, as he of the numerous drinks had proved a disappointment, they instituted a searc.. lor the person who actually had taken the pistol route to tne great hereafter. Bvery room in tne house was searched, and finally therooms of the telegraph official were reached. There, lying on the floor in a dead faint, was that gentleman’s wife, while stand- ing in the center of the room with a face as black as an African's, was the cause of all the ;n. and excitement, contem- plating the dust and soot bestrewn carpet where lay a few shriveled-up bits of silk, all that was le.. of the once handsome balloon, which he had inadverien.y punched too hard and sent into the open grate, where it had exploded. His mother was brought to and, after washing the grime off her darling’s face and finding him uninjured, first teartully embraced him and then, with true iemi- nine logie, turned him over her knee and administered a reproof which will remain in his recollection for a long time to come.
