Had it not been for the care and skill of Captain Andrew Hall the chances are that the big vessel would have been beached a mile north of Point Reyes, a spot yard of many a stout ship. When the Walla Walla B. C 200 passengers aboard. As soon as Flat- tery was passed the fog settled down and from. that time on the vessel had to be run by dead reckoning, as the sun was never seen. When Captain Hall figured that he was off Cape Blanco the lead was that point was left Victoria, constantly in use until | reached and passed. The same plan was | followed at Cape Mendocino and Point Are Early on Sunday morning the Point Reyes whistle was heard but almost im- med:ately the sound died out. All hands waited for the next warning note and | when it did not come Captain Hall or- dered the ship slowed down and the lead cast The latter showed twenty-nine fathoms of water, but nevertheless the vessel was stopped. In a few minutes the fog lifted and then settled down again thicker than ever. That moment was it showed the heavy he beach half a mile % were at once ordered helm hard over. > engin ed astern and the alla Walla was soon on her course and four minutes later the Point Reyes » was once more abeam. ace In which Captain Hall If when the fog lifted the sves whistle cannot be heard. It is a spot in which many a good ship has left her bones. An English bark laden with raflroad iron went to pleces there, he bark Otago went on the beach and never came off. The schooner Rachel left her bones there and the Point Arena went on the reef but was got off. After the Walla Walla had backed out from the beach and was holding her course along the shore one of the fishing A steamers came along and began crowding in toward the beach. The captain of the fishing boat gave t s and Cap- tain Hall had to respond. What between the beach and the steamer it was close quarters for the Walla Walla and she just crept out of the hole by the skin of her teeth. Passing the fisherman there was not thirty feet between the two ves- sels. Before the passengers left the Walla Walla they warmly thanked Captain Hall for the care and skill he had shown while 750 miles through a bringing his vessel dense fog. e TH ML SHIPWRECKEP SAILORS HOME. Four Men From Burned Ship R. D. Rice Back From Japan. Among the Walla Walla's passengers were four sailors from the American ship R. D. Rice, which was burned in Kobe harbor last month. The first and second mates, the steward and twenty sailers were sent to Puget Sound on one of the Canadian Pacific steamships by the Am- erican Consul. E. Tilman, H. Fresher, E. Nilsson and B. Bertelsen ‘elected to come to San Francisco, but the remainder of the crew went to Eastern point. They say | say that the court of inquiry held that the burning of the vessel was accidental. M. 8. McDevitt, another passenger of the Walla Walla, had to be removed to | the Harbor Hospital as soon as the vessel He had been drinking more or down and yesterday up with a’ wild de- bauch. He could not get any liquor from the steward so he sent his room-mate to buy a bottle of Scotch. This he secured and retiring to his stateroom drank every drop of the liquor in less than fifteen minutes. It took four policemen to carry him to the patrol wagon. He is a drum- mer for R. E.

The Pacific Coast Company's steamship Curacao arrived from Mexican ports yes- terday. Captain Parsons reports leaving at Santa Rosalla the British ship Clan Graham and Tasmania and the American four-masted schooner Commerce. All three vessels were nearly discharged and were shortly to sail for S8an Francisco. Among the passengers were Lewls War- field and_W. E. Heathcote, railroad men of New York. They have been for some time in Mexico looking over the railroad situation. Mrs. and Miss P. A, Barker are going to Los Angeles. Mr, Barker is the manager of a big mine in Mexico and his wite and daughter have been on a visit to him. Mrs. A. Ruffo is the wife of a prominent merchant of La Paz. She will spend six months in California. Dr. D. Thevino and his wife will spend a year in San Francisco and will then return to Alazstlan.

When the immigration officer found that | they had been engaged by Sam Zecht to | work near Fresno they were sent back to Mexico. Captain Parsons landed them at Ensenada and two days later they were back in California. They crossed the bor- der without any trouble and are now sup- posed to be at work in a Fresno vine- vard. s o { Small Fire on Mariposa. | There was a small fire on the Oceanic Company’s Mariposa Sunday night, but it was put out before any serlous damage was done. The blaze was discovered in the coal bunkers about 9 p. m. by the night watchman. He at once notified Chief Officer Ritchie, and when the two of them ‘got to work all danger was over in 2 few minutes. There was no alarm | and even the watch was not called, as a | few buckets of water drowned out the fire. | Water Front Notes. | Willlam Heisel of Defiance, Mo., is very | anxious to learn the whereabouts of his son, George Bdward Helsel.

LR YR Many Buildings in Chinatown Are Condemned as Nuisances. The refusal of the water and light cor- porations to comply with the ordinance requiring the payment of fees and the se- curing of a permit from the Board of Public Works for the performance of trenching work prompted the Board of Supervisors to adopt retaliatory measures esterday. The board passed the follow- ng resolution, presented by Curtis: ‘Whereas, Certain persons and corporatlons refuse to comply with ordinances Nos. 288 and 263 of the Board of Supervisors providing for the payment of fees for inspection of work in opening and closing streets, and whereas, the city is indebted for water and light to certain of said corporations; therefore Resolved, That notice be given to the Audi- tor of these facts and his attention be re- spectfully called to section 6, chapter II, arti- cle 111, of the charter, requiring him to deduct amounts due the city from bills due by the city to these corporations. Resolved, That the Board of Public Works be requested to notify the Auditor of any fur- ther Setnun by sald corporations. A communication was recelved from George H. Roundey, president of the Uni- versity ‘Mound and Bay View Improve- ment Club, in which he agrees to give bonds to furnish a new block book for the Assessor’s office for $1500. The Finance Committee has recommended an expendl- ture of $8500 for the BUTDUse and Roundey asks that the balance of $7000 be expended on San Bruno road, from Fifteenth ave- nue to the county line. ““As the Board of Public Works does not kncw the value of other people’s money,’ concludes Roundey, signiticantly, I sug- gest that the sum named be placed at the aisposal of the Sheriff in order that he may do the work with the prisoners. Assessor Dodge addressed the board to the effect that his demand for the block book at a cost of $5500 was not excessive. | He #ald that the copy now in use was full of Incorrect descriptions of real estate, and $10,000 yearly is expended to keep it up. Dodge took exception to the criti- cism of the improvement clubs, saying that it was prompted by ignorance of the true conditions.. The Mayor stated that the members of the board will visit the Assessor's office to judge for themselves. Teachers Ask for Hearing. In a communication George H. Roundey, Presldent of the Federation of Mission mprovement Clubs, asked the board to take into consideration in making the al- Jowance to the Health Board that the fol- lowing named employes, all physiclans, judging from the signs displayed in front of their oflices and residences, are not de- voting their whole time to the affairs of the énunlblpsllty, which the charter de- mands: G.

Ordinance Increasing Limit on Height of Buildings Defeated. The ordinance empowering the Mayor to confer with the Board of Public Works and the Park Commissioners for the pur- pose of reporting a system of parks and boulevards was passed to print by the Board of SBupervisors yesterday. The or- dinance was recommended by the Street Committee in lleu of one introduced by Reed providing for the appointment by the Mayor of a non-salaried Park and Boulevard Commission. Reed made a strong plea for the passage ot his bill, but Curtis contended that the creation of a new commission is unwise and that the matter of new parks and boulevards should rest with the park and works boards. McCarthy thought the last named board should be eliminated and the work be done by the Park Commission alone. The substitute measure received ten votes. The ordinance limiting the height of fire- proof buildings to 145 feet on streets more than 100 feet in width and to 120 feet on streets less than 100 feet in width, and of non-fireproof buildings to 110 feet in helght, was defeated. D'Ancona moved to make ‘the highest limit 125 feet, but his motion was lost, as was Connor's to fix it at 135 feet. As the members were un- able to agree the present ordinance, mak- Ing the limit 125 feet and eighty feét, Is in effect. Brandenstein gave notice of re- consideration. The ordinance providing for the manner in which bail moneys shall be withdrawn from the city treasury was finally passed. The bill makes the Auditor's signature a necessary factor on the demand before it can be pald. As the Auditor has been ad: vised by his attorney that he has nothing to do with the demands and the City At- torney holds otherwise mandamus pro- ceedings will be invoked. The resolution directing the City Attor- ney to assume charge of cases now pend- ing in the Superior Court for the recovery of back licensé taxés on the nickel tele- ghone machines belonging to the Pacific tates L‘omyan& was adopted. The Spring Valley Water Works was directed to comply with an ordinance r quiring it to lay eight-inch mains in cer- tain streets in the University Mound dis- trict. Bids for Lighting. The bids for lighting public bulldings were opened and referred to the Light Committee. They showed a reduction of 3% per cent in gas rates and 25 per cent in electric light rates compared with last year. The Pacific Gas Improvement Com- pany bid 88 cents per 1000 cubic feet for gas, and the Independent Electric Light and Power Company 29 cents per 1000 watt hours for electric lights, they being the lowest bidders. Last year's rates were, respectively, $1 35 and 29.5 cents. The Water Committee filed a delayed report recommending the indefinite post- ponement of Reed’s bill fixing the water rates for the next fiscal year, the rates having been already fixed by ordinance. The ordinanca making it a misdemeanor to defraud a hack driver of his legal fare was finally passed. The Board of Works was authorized to advertise for proposals for the keeping in repair of bituminous rock pavements, but the work must be done in a manner sim- flar to that in which it is done under the existing contract. Braunhart's ordnance requiring street railway companies to provide suitable fenders and brakes on their cars was re- ferred to the Judiclary Committee. ADVERTISEMENTS.
