- THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MEMBER OF CREW SAVING LIFE STOPS LEAK IN THE BOAT WITH HIS THUMB Huge(a_r(;raésfiom Here to the (rient. | Overdue Ship List| Increasing in Number. | The preparedness of men on board ship for serious accidents was mani- fested a peculiar incident which oc- curred on the steamer Gualala as she was leaving this port for Delmar sev- eral days ago. The wessel returned nere yesterday and her log tells the story. When she passed out of the harbor for Delmar, two men were seen swim- ming away from the British ship Alice A. Leigh. They were deserters, and one of the swimmers was struggling in the water and making a hard- weather trip of it. A boat was hur- riedly lowered from the Gualala for the rescue of the exhausted runaway. The plug was out of the bottom of the boat—it should have been in—and could mot be found. This caused de- lay, and the swimmer, a short_distance off, was rapidly giving out. The water was gushing into the boat through the hole, filling the little craft, and the rescue was apparently to fail because of the usua! lack of preparation. But the man for the emergency was on the spot and Davy Crockett's one- arm hercics at the cabin door will no more be played by pugilistic actors. One of the men in the boat jammed his thumb into the hole and checked | the inflow of water. Then ' he sat down in the boat and his companion | at the oars pulled away to the rescue. ul task for him, but he| er out while the half-| drowned swimmer was hauled into the boat and taken back to his ship.

The rear wheels of Conlin’s wagon were on the iron covering the man- hole when the accumulated gas inside the pit exploded. The wagon was raised high in the air and its driver thrown to the ground. The horses, |rng\nened by the unusual noise and left without a driver, plunged madly up Stockton street, but were caught before they had gone far. The iron covering to the manhole was broken to bits and it is fortunate that the wagon was on top of it at the time of | the explosion, ‘as flying fragments' might have done serious damage. A new building is about completed at the corner of Stockton and Post streets in which electricians are installing electric lights ‘e’lt is supposed that !a spark from a wire disturbed by the workmen ignited the accumulated gas and caused the explosion. ———— " A deckhand on the river boat T.

Browne, Maud L. Jones, Adelaide | Bartlett. This makes fifty-two teachers already | appointed this year from the new | eligible list. 1 Director Boyle was authorized to have constructed three portable schools houses in connection with the South " End and Lafayette Primary schools. A leave of absence was granted to Miss Rachel Meyer, a regular teacher in the Emerson Primary School, from October 24, 1304, to the commencement i of the spring term, 1905, on account of illness. The Board of Public Works was re- quested to complete the Richmond School by providing for the reshingling of the roof as recommended by the in- | spector of school buildings and the City Architect. . A new class was established in the San Francisco Parental School and Miss A. Levi of the Frankiin Grammar School was assigned to take charge of the same. The president and secretary were au- thorized and directed to enter into and execute a lease with E. Giannini for the premises adjoining the South End | Primary School and located on the | scutheast corner of Burrows and Som- erset streets, for one year for the sum of $50. It is imperative that additional quarters be provided for the accom- modation of the pupils attending the South End Primary School owing to the congested attendance. The proceeds of the recent benefit entertainment given by the pupils of the Cleveland School amounting to | $300 25 were turned over to the public | school teachers’ annuity and retirement | fund. | City Architect Shea reported that the i | i flights of stairs rebuilt in the Lincoln School were so rotten that it is a wonder they held their own weight He recommends that the other three : flights be overhauled. Shea also re- ported that the yards at the Columbia, | Haight, Mission, Golden Gate, Lowell, ! Garfield and Henry Durant schools are in an unsafe condition and new yards should be built. . He also recommended that the runways in the Cleveland | school be rebuilt, 'as ‘the preésent ones are in very bad shape and dangerous for puplls. The recommendations were filed as there are no funds available for the repairs. The bids for old junk belonging to the department were rejected as inad- equate and new bids were ordered in- vited. —_———— { SHIP RUNNERS ARE ’ IN SERIOUS TROUBLE | David Crowley Sr. and Three Oothers May Be Indicted by Federal Grand Jury. Shipmasters and customs officials have been persistently annoyed for years by runners and solicitors board- ing vessels on their arrival in this harbor before the customs officers have had an opportunity of complet- ing their work. The law has been continuously violatéd in this regard, |-yet but few arrests have been made {and in those cases the punishment has | not been severe. But Customs Col- lector Stratton is determined to put an end to this nuisance, and yesterday he called the attention of United ! States District Attorney Marshall B. Woodworth to the matter of the boarding of the Dutch ship Europa on October 16 by William Clark, J. Fink Jr., David Crowley Sr. and James Sin- nott. Mr. Woodworth assured Collec- | tor Stratton that he would present the case to the Grand Jury now in ses- | sion. The penalty is a fine of $200 { each, with imprisonment in the dis- cretion of the court. Captain G. Bona of the Europa was fined $1000 by Col- lector Stratton, but upon his showing that the runners had not boarded the vessel with his permission the depart- | of the fine.

Benbow, the bles in Examination on| Montana Inventor, Makes Short Trip at St. Louis ANCHOR ROPE EMPLOYED Notwithstanding This De- vice the Aeronaut Was in Full Control of Balloon ST. LOUIS, Oct. 27.—Floating grace- fully in the air at an average height of thirty feet above the heads of several | thousand spectators, the airship de- signed and bullt by T. C. Benbow of Columbus, Mont.,, made what the in- ventor declares was a successful trial flight in the aeronautic course at the World's Fair to-day. While Benbow appeared to have absolute control over the machine, an anchor rope about }flny feet long was used, one end otw’ which was held by an assistant during the entire flight. Benbow to-night made the following | statement: This trial was made to determine the fea- sibility of my airship. I had intended making | a trip over the Fair Grounds, but found that the rapid condensation of gas was fast re- ducing the lifiing power, and in order to main- | tain an altitude I threw out all my ballast. During the fifteen minutes I was up my airship lost sixty pounds of lifting power. The airship was completely under my control and re- | spondea nicely. | 1 intend, if the weather permits, to make a practical demonstration of the dirigibllity of my airship to-morrow, and I will make the | start in the middle of the day, when the at- | mosphere is warmer. | The Benbow airship weighs about 600 | pounds. The gas bag, which is cylin- | drical in shape, is seventy-five feet long and about twenty feet wide at the cen-[’ | | ter, tapering at the ends. The bag con- | tains 16,000 cubic feet of gas when in-| | flated. The frame of the ship is of| | aluminum and wood, and the power is | derived from a ten horsepower gasoline | motor, Momentum is given to the air- | ship by means of two large sidewheels | s0 constructed that they automatically | fold after completing the stroke against | the air and do not expand until again | in position to force the airship ahead. | e it | ADMIRAL KEMPFF TO DIRECT | INQUIRY IN SAN FRANCISCO | Into the Steamboat Inspec- tion Service.
