Is Returned to the Hospital From Which She Made Her Escape. —_— After wandering aimlessly around the hills near Colma for forty-four hours Miss Edith Wolfskill, the demented young’ woman who made her escape from the California General Hospital, was found by a Pinkerton detective yesterday about noon and taken back to the hospital at once. Her clothes were badly torn from walking through the thick brush, but otherwise she was none the worse for her experience. The moment that the girl disappeared from the hospital at Eighteenth and Douglass streets a search was instituted for her. Her relatives, besides notifying Chief Wittman, employed Pinkerton de- tectives. One of these detectives, under | instractions from Captain Kemble, who is in charge of the Pinkerton office in this city, hired a conveyance and drove | down to Lolma yesterday. On Thursday the yvoung woman had been reported to have been seen near Mussel Rock and the man was told to make a thorough search in this neighborhood. Abandoning his carriage near San Pe- dro Point, the detective climbed a high | hill and caught sight of the young wom- an at the bottom of a deep canyon. She was kneeling and did not appreciate her danger. With difficulty the detective de- scended the steep sides of the canyon and by the exercise of great strength succeeded in dragging the girl up to the | level ground. | The carriage was then signaled for, but | Miss Wolfskill when it arrived refused to | ride in it. She was at last persuaded to | enter the carriage and she was driven to | Colma kneeling on the floor of the ve- jhicle. At Colma the detective notified the Pinkerton office in this city that he had secured the girl, and he was in- | structed to taxe her back to the !flnlta-i | rium. On the trip to the city the girl refused | to spegk to any one and showed in her | man that she resented being found.

Abandons Convivial Friends and Ships Aboard the Gantock Rock —— The spectacle of a California million- aire’s son serving fodder to a sailors’ mess and packing meals to the master of the ship is not one that San Francisco soclety is likely to contemplate with pleasure, yet it is one that would prob- ably be witnessed on the good old Brit- ish ship Gantock Rock were the oppor- tunity afforded the members of local so- ciety to look down on that vessel as she bucks' the billows on her way to Puget Sound. The Gantock Rock, commanded by Cap- tain Crosbie, was towed out of the bar- bor early Tuesduy morning with,a cargo of lumber, destined for the Sound. Her departure, in so far as the local ship- ping world was concerned, attracted no particular attention. But to one individ- ual, Ira Bishop, local representative of the Jupiter Steel Company and a brother of Charles R. Bishop, vice president of the California Bank, the going of the ship was an impressive incident, for aboard her was his only son, practically banished from home, and bound by rigid ship articles to serve ten months as cabin boy aboard the Gantock Rock. There was no one at the docks to say farewell to young Bishop, for as a matter of fact he went aboard the ship as she lay in the stream the previous day and no message from home reached him as the Gantock Rock heaved her anchors and made fast to the towboat line pre- liminary to starting on her long voyage. Just before sailing, however, Bishop dis- patched several letters to his chums in the city, bidding them adleu. i EMBARKS AS CABIN BOY. | It will be months before the young man | will again set foot in San Francisco, un- less he should grow desperate in his new and somewhat humillating position and desert the ship, and this Is not likely, for in affixing his signature to the ship's articles on Monday last at the British consulate the Vice Consul was careful to remind the amateur saflor of the severe penalties imposed under the British mari- | time la: upon those who attempt to| break their contract with a ship master, Young Bishop became a member of the ! Gantock Rock’s crew by enforced prefer- | ence; that is, he had been given the al-| ternative of going to work on a farm or serving an apprenticeship at sea. As a penalty for his son's apparent indiffer- ence to the future, his riotous way of : living and recklessness in the expenditure of money furnished him by his father, ' the latter called Charles into his presence ! last Saturday and. according to the young man's own version of the affair, sternly informed his son that the end of pater- nal indulgence and toleration had been reached, and that thenceforth Charles should expect no assistance from his fath- er in a financial way or look to the latter | for parental consideration of any favor- able character, except under conditions | there named by the senior Bishop. i “Go to work on a ranch or embark in | service on the sea,” the father is said to have remarked to his son, “and in | that wav show me tnat you have the! courage to provide for yourself and I will | relent. Give me some evidence that you have an appreciation for future respon- sibilitles and I will undertake again to encourage you in life.” WORDS HAVE A STING. They were stinging words for the young i man, who had been raised amid luxurles | i : ADVERTISEMENTS. 15¢ Per Yard. shades of RIBBON, 41, inches wide. Reg. value 40c.

Hale’s, 979, on Market Street, near Sixth. and had never known what it is to toil and they were deeply impressed upon his mind when he left his father. During the hours of the following night younsg | Bishop, isolated from his accustomed en- | joyments behind the locked door of his apartments in the Hotel Savoy, seriously pondered over the past and lsoked dis- | mally into the future. Sunday morning | found him a changed man, upon whose | countenance could easily be discerned a | look of determination that bode achieve- | ments never before considered by him. | That day he informed his father that he had decided to go to sea, and early Mon- | day saw Charles mingling among a lot | of rough looking sallors in the British | consulate, awaliting his turn to sign away his freedom. Through the influence of ai friendly shipping master Bishop had se- | cured the guaranty of a position as cabin boy aboard the British iron ship Gantock Rock, and fully primed with knowledge | of the hardships that were before him | he hastened to enter upon the dutles of his new lot. | Cabin boy for a man who has passed ! his twenty-fifth year and has been ac | customed to the services of the best res- | taurants and the comforts that are easily | acquired with wealth is not a particu- larly inviting billet. To rise before the n, don an apronm, join the ship's cook in the galley and carry greasy vituals to a hungry gang of sailors and meals to | the captain and his mates are only part of the daily routine of the cabin boy and are followed between messes by attend- ance in the captain's cabin and finally | a restless night on a dirty bunk in the foul air of the ship's forecastle. RELENTS TOO LATE. But Bishop’s mind was determined, and | with his newly purchased sailor’'s kit, of which his aprons and his blankets were | the bulkiest part, he was shipped aboard the Gantock Rock on Monday afternoon. | When his father learned that his son was in earnest a feeling of relenting came over him and he exerted a mighty effort to recall young Bishop to the family home, but it was too late. To return would mean desertion, and having fully made up his mind to begin life over the | son refused to accept susgestion of re- | conciliation from his father and turned | his face to the ship’s mast. | The Gantock Rock will go first to Puget Sound and from there she will carry a cargo to Natal, South Africa, thence to | | mer.

When he was brought before Captain Crosble for inspection on Monday, the ! master offered his wealthy young appren- |'tice the customary advance of three pounds, which Bishop modestly declined with the statement that he would like to receive all his earnings at the end of his voyasge. FAREWELL TO FRIENDS. Not even his most intimate friends were taken into his confldence during the hur- ried arrangements for his departure and the first intimation they received of his voyage was through his farewell let- ters, which reached them when the Gan- tock Rock was far out to sea. Charles Bishop is one of the best known members of the younger social set of the city and although a bit wild and inclined to ignore the more serious phases of life, he bore a splendid reputation among the hundreds who enjoyed his acquaintance- | ship and his association during the days which he wasted in pleasure seeking in- stead of applying himself to duties that would insure him a future place in the local commercial world, in which his rather and multi-millionaire uncle are re- | garded as important factors. ——e—— 50c for Large Feet.

ADMITS INABILITY TO MANAGE Consents to the Appointment of Her Half-Brother as Her Guardian. A petition to be appointed guardian of Miss Jennie M. Snowgrass was filed yester- day by her half-brother, Orville €. P. Goodspeed. The petitioner states that the respondent is not fitted to manage her property, a statement affirmed by Miss Snowgrass. As another reason for the proceedings it is stated in the petition that because of the respondent’s inability, due to ill health, it is feared that certain designing persons have planned to take advantage of her. Miss Snowgrass, who Is only a little over 30 years of age, is a granddaughter of the late Judge O. C. Pratt, who, when he died several years ago, left a large fortune in realty. The estate was the cause of long years of litigation, in which the children of one of his daughters, who ‘was twice married, and who bore children by each husband, took part. —_———————— An Evening Diversion.
