HONEYMOON in the silent fast- nesses of Alagka during the sea- son when that far northern land is clothed in the solemn white robes of winter will be the novel experience of a young couple to be united in matrimony this morning. Miss Eliza- beth Beauchamp and Dr. C. A. Treuholtz, U. 8 A, are the two who are to make a journey over the ice field as their wed- ding trip. The wedding will take place at St. Jolin'n Episcopal Church, Fifteenth and Valencia streets, at 9:30 o’clock. The Rev. . C. Sanford will officiate. a. m. the couple will_take on the City of bla for Seattle. After spending few days in that place they will pro to Fort to which place the doctor has been ordered. The journey will be made by dog-sled. The journey is severe one which few women Wwould undertake, but Miss Beauchamp is a brave and ro- ‘bust young person, and she contemplates the trip with expectant pleasure. Something of a romance surrounds the courtship of this young couple, Both are residents of S8an Francisco. They have been thrown more or less to- gether through following z&lmleuhm-.l du- tles similar in character, Miss Beauchamp as a trained nurse and Dr. Treuholtz as & g.y-mun.

While a dense fog enwrapped the city and bay last night the big ferry steamer Pledmont, crowded with passenge: crashed into the ship Llewellyn J. Mor: | and before she got clear again had pared the entire starboard side of her upper deck away, smashing the fretwork and glaes of that portion of the cabin Into eplinters. Had the crash been a little harder or a lttle further forward the loss | of life might have been appalling. As it was the passengers escaped with a bad scare and the ship suffered no injuries be- yond those sustained to her superstruc- ture. 80 dense was the fog that the first in- timation of danger officers cr passengers had was when the crash came. Captain Clairville was bringing his ship into slip No. 5, her accustomed berth, | when a waraing voice cried that the slip | was already cccupled. The Pledmont was | | ! backed out ard when a few hundred yards from the ferries her engines were It is a |stopped. The strorg tide running carried pretty conception. Mme. Gabriel Stirval | her up the bay until almost opposite Fol- A€ | som-street when, without the the cathead of the wharf slightest warning, Morse poked into the superstructure b!-' tween the hurricane and the upper decks just forward of the low wall of the upper cabin. Immediately -the Pledmont started to grind and bump against the side of the Morse with great violence. The passen- gers, terrified, rushed to and fro, not ex- actly knowing what had happened. Men shouted for life preservers and the boats, women screamed, and the deck hands and officers of the boat passed through the cabins full of frightened people, endeavor- ing to calm thelr fears. They succeeded to some extent, but the worst, from the passengers’ point of view, was yet to come. Captain Clairville saw that it would be necessary to get the Piedmont | clear of the Morse’s forward works,and in order to do this he signaled the engineer to go ahead. As the big ferryboat moved slowly along the side of the Morse, the ship's cathead, which remained entangled in the Piedmont, cut the entire side of the upper cabin out as meatly as if it were a paper knife. The crash of rending woodwork, the noise of breaking glase, the din of the fog bells and whistles, the loud commands hurrledly given on both the Piedmont and the Morse revived the panic among the ferry-boat's passengers. To add to the other alarming features, the giant bow of the transport Siam lying a little way east of the Morse, now poked into view when the fog for a moment lifted, and seemed about to cut the ferry-boat In halves. Finally, after about twenty minutes’ hard work, the Pledmont was got clear and steamed into her slip, with much of her gilt and gingerbread smashed bt the hull practically uninjured. Captain and passengers both attribute their safety to the fact that the Pledmont only drifted into the Morge. Had the ferry-boat been under steam when she struck the ship a terrible bay disaster might have been re- corded. Captain Walter Clairville gives the fol- lowing account of the disaste: “I,was at the wheel with Chief Mate Jamies H. Douglass. We were on the 11 o'¢lock trip from Oakland. Just as we were entering slip 6 a volca from some- where, I suppose one of the lookouts, hailed us, saying there was 2 boat in the slip. The fog was heavy as a blanket and we couldn’t see a stone’s throw in front of us, so we backed out into the stream “We were out a few hundred yards when T signaled the engine-rooth to stop, not thinking the tide would carry ns down so rapidly as it did. We seemed to lie still wrapped around in that blanket of fox for fifteen minutes or so. Then I heard the Bay City’s whistle and knew she was coming out of her slip. Not exactly knowing, where we were, I headed the | Pledmont for Goat Tsland | the Bay City. We had s little way when I heard a fog right on our starboard | gines, but heard .nothing more there came a c and I knew w struck it. I sent Mate Douglass below to see to the passengers, while I stayed the pilot-house. “The Morse towered right above us on the starboard side. We had st agonally in the bow and her | gone through our t er works, ‘lh-: only way to extricate t P | was to go ahead and I did s | our starboard upper werks | difficulty in avoids | aged to get the Pledmonm | without any further dan The Morse was probabl | except about her lision.
