In rounding Platt Bend the vessel had to face a heavy south wind and, having in tow a barge loaded with 4000 bags of | wheat, was forced on some submerged | snags, which ripped five large holes in her bottom, three directly under her boll- ers and two in the bow. The steamer im- mediately commenced to settle. Captain Gonzales ordered the pumps started and headed for shore, but the steamer filled so rapidly that he had hardly got her course changed when she sank, but for- tunately in shallow water.

Excavation for New Dock Completed. VALLEJO, Jan. 21.—The dredger of the Atlantic Gulf and Pacific Company was floated out of the new drydock excava- = { tion to-day and work was commenced below the Independence. This joo will occupy a week and the outfit will be then taken to San Pedro. The excava- tion for the mew drydock is complete, but the company experiences difficulty in_strengthening the foundation work behind the quay wall opposite the new dock. This section is half the thickness of the rest of the wall and it was thought that thete was danger of the outside pressure forcing the wall in when the excavation was pumped out. The oppo- eite result followed the pumping, the wall being -strained outwardly. e Stranger Commits Suicide.
