WRECKED N SMOOTH WATER The Bobolink Lies Sheltered Cove Total Wreck. in a a Forty Thousand Tous of Coal to Go From Nanaimo to Dutch Harbor. 1t ls for the Use of Steamers Ruu- ning Between St Michael and Dawson. The wreck of the schooner Bobolink on the coast of Mendocino, on the 24th inst., was a most pecullar one. The vessel safled out with a land breeze, and when the wind fell light, the captain dropped his kedge anchor. When the wind came up again and the salls filled the captain | walted a few nutes in order to get in the anchor, and that delay was fatal A squall struck the schooner and drove | her inshore. Then before anything could be done to save her she was hard and fast in & natural cove between two rocks. he force with which she went ashore tore nearly the entire bottom out of her, but to look at her as she now lles in smooth water no one would ever think but she was lying at anchor ready to discharge her cargo. The cargo will be saved, but the wreck of the vessel is now “For sale at a sacrifice.” Mrs. Peterson, wife of the second mate of the steamer Gypsy, was treated at the Harbor Receiving Hospital early yester- day morning for carbolic acid poisoning. The unfortunate woman is a confirmed epiritualist, and at a seance last Sunday night she was told that she was going to die of consumption. She preferred a quicker death, and tried to swallow car- bolic acid, but only managed to swallow small portion of it. Her tongue s were badly burned, but yesterd she was able to go to her homé Trenton et. At the hospital 11; at she gave the name of Mamie Ruggles.

At a meeting of the Harbor Commis- sloners yesterday Chief Wharfinger Root recommended _that the Naval Militia training-ship Marion ‘be at onee moved into the stream. He sald tnat on account of the crowded condition of the wharves the space was badly needed for the time being for the purposes of commerce. Commissioner Harney objected to-the re- moval of the vessel on the ground that it | would be putting the Naval Reserve to a'| great deal of inconvenlence and to un- necessary expense. He also held that the space occupied by the warship is not of very much use anyhow. The matter went over for a week. Campbell Bros. were awarded ‘the con- tract for putting up the office buildings on Folsom-street wharf. P. J. O'Neill was awarded the contract for painting the same. The Mutual Electric Light Company was awarded the contract for lighting the new ferry depot and :the en- tire water front for one year. Three of the cabin boys on the.steamer San Blas had a hard time of it at Panama this last trip. Cigars at Mazatlan can be purchased for $7 a thousand, and if the boys are fortunate enough to smuggle them ashore they can get §45 a thousand for them at Panama. Three of them got ashore at Panama with a thousand of them. but were followed by the Custom House officers. Two of them dropped their packages and made thelr 'escape. The third one showed fight and was arrested for resisting an officer im.\ attempting to smuggle. He was _given l\nufsgh\ the stocks and fined $20.

He was \more than glad when his pun{shment was over. The other boys on the steamer had to ralse a subscription in order to pay the $20 fine for him, and it is safe to say that the boys on that ship will not | smuggle again in a hurry. By order of the Navy Department the monitor Monadnock will proceed to the | scene of the wreck of the Helen W.
