FATE OF THE EIGHLAND LIGHT. VANCOUVER, B. C., Dec. 4—Captain Gillespie, of the bfirk Highland Light, which was abandoned and foundered off the west coast of Vancouver Island, ar- rived here to-day. He says that when the Highland Light left port she had been leaking slightly, but not enough to cause fear regarding her safety, as she was well equipped with pumps. During the gale the vessel strained so badly that, although the pumps were kept steadily in operation day and night, it was impossi- ble to keep ahead of the in-flow of water.

It was while the bark was heading for the shore of the west coast of Van- couver Island on November 16 that a small schooner was sighted.

About 11 o’clock on the morning of November 16 | the schooner bore down on the Highland | Light, and she hove to under her lee at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Up to the time of sighting the Arilla it was not known to the crew of the High- land that Capain Gillespie intended to abandon the vessel and when he gave the order to clear away the boat a wild rush took place, but no one was hurt. Nothing was saved except a few instru- ments brought off by Captain Gillespie. The crew did not have time to save even their blankets. - ‘When the bark was abandoned there was elght feet of water in the after pump well and it was steadily gaining depth at the rate of one foot per hour.

Dr. Bryant had been to-the home of Isaac Melton, six miles above Bella Vista, to at- tend a sick person. It was dark and rain | fell in torrents when he began his home- | ward journey. He was driving two spien- | did horses. Arriving at Dry Creek he found that | stream overrunning its banks and ‘his horses could not be urged to ford it. He then drove down the stream to the ford at Bella Vista, where he _attempted to cross. As he reached the center the cur- rent upset the buggy, hurling the doctor into the water. He grasped his medicine chest, and, with the handle of it in his | teeth, swam to the bank. The horses and buggy were carried downstream 200 yards. Both animals were drowned and the | buggy was wrecked. J. M. Bassett, while fording Olney Creek, was carried 100 yards down- stream, but managed to reach the bank ‘with his horses. George Bayha, vice president of the North California Investment Company, was caught between two creeks and de- tained over night, unable to cross either. Friends sent out searching parties, believ- ing him drowned. The Redding water works is disabled and the electric light wires down, so the city has neither water nor light.

BURRD FEASTS ON GREENBACHS Chews Up the Roll of a Shasta County Miner. Special Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, Dec. 4—John M. Crume, son of Jesse Crume of Hatchet Creek Moun- tain fame, has spent the summer in min- ing on Coffee Creek. He decided to return to Redding by a roundabout route and came over the road by the Government hatchery at Baird, driving his two loaded burros ahead of him. There he camped for the night. The donkeys were relieved of their Joad and fell to browsing on blackberry vines and discarded fish nets. Crume lay down with his carpet satchel under his head. It served as a pillow, but the primary reason the owner kept his head upon it was to guard the chief item of its contents, a roll of greenbacks. The blackberry vines and net cords must have lacked flavor, for during the night one of the little burros gulled the satchel from under her master’s head, con- trived to get it open and finished her night-time repast. In the morning Crume awoke with a start, realizing that the pre- cious bag was gone. He found it some yards away and scattered about were green crumbs from the meal. The burro had seized the roll of bills at the center and chewed the succulent fiber of the greenbacks. The ends had dropped to the ground. Crume pried open the burro's mouth and picked some more specks of value from her teeth. The scraps were carefully collected. The ruined greenbacks consisted of one $50, two $20, one $10, three $5 and two $1 bills, totaling $117. It is believed the pieces can be segre- gated by an expert under a glass and At- torney F.
