ELDER The steamship George W. Elder, | which arrived in port yesterday, en- | countered a terrible storm on her trip down the coast from the Columbia River. In the fury of the gale she was struck by a terrific wave, which dashed over her smokestack and almost sub- merged her. In all her many hundreds of voyages during her last twenty-five years’ service on this coast she has never had anything like so tempestu- ous a passage. She left Astoria on Friday morning. The Columbia River bar was breaking badly, and was a seething mass of tur- bulent waters at the time the Eider crossed out. She had only gone fairly out to sea when she ran into a heavy southwest gale. While she is known all the world over as a famous roller, this storm showed.up her qualities to the limit. She was tossed right and left by the high seas and the strong wind. She rolled over so far that it al- most seemed she would never right herself. At 11 o'clock Saturday morning, when | the storm was at its height, a tremen- dous wave struck the steamship with great violence, washing completely over her and throwing tons of water on her decks. The vessel trembled in every fiber, and the shock was so great that mauy of the passengers thought she had struck a rock. Stateroom doors on the starboard side, where the wave struck, were torn away, and windows were smashed in. Every room on the upper deck was flooded. One of the passengers was severely cut on the nose by fragments of flying glass. Crockery was thrown from the tables and scattered in all directions. Assistant Cook Mahoney was thrown | completely across the galley by the force of the shock and thrown against a camp chair. He landed on his left side, with the result that his left hand is now rendered useless. It is badly swollen and he fears it will be a long time before he will have the use of it. Volumes of water poured through the skylights and landed in torrents upon the kitchen ranges. As soon as the vessel righted herself, the occupants of the flooded rooms were removed to | other portions of the ship, while the drenched contents of the rooms were removed and taken out to be dried. The storm kept up with great fury un- til the vessel was about forty miles off the harbor. John McMullen, one of the passengers, going man all his life, but he had never encountered such a storm. He sald that out of the sixty-five | passengers on board but six managed to scramble down to the dining saloon for their meals. At the time the big wave approached the ship he was look- ing out of his stateroom looked to him like a great tidal wave, and was fully 70 feet high. As it tow- ered up over the ship it looked like a mountain. The higher the wave went up, the lower the ship seemed to go down. Suddenly the water came crash- ing down with a roar like thunder. It buried the vessel from stem to stern and caused her to shake like an aspen leaf. Had she not been of powerful construction she would have gone to ‘the bottom. She reached port vesterday morning at 10:30. As soon as she came along- | side the dock she was gayly decked | | with flags and Christmas trees, while her damaged belongings were hauled ashore and hung up to dry on the dock. —— Neko Arrives. The German steamship Neko arrived in port yesterday, 120 days from Hamburg and nine and a half days from Champerico. She brings a miscellancous cargo, the prin- cipal items of which are 2500 barrels of Port- land cemegt from Hamburg and 18361 bags of nitrate of soda from Caleta Buena. She is consizned to J. D. Soreckels & Bros. Com- Fr. Kari, Robert lowing is a list of the passengers: von Lindemann, Robert Karl, Mrs. M. Miss Adele Karl, Miss Laura Karl, Karl Jr. and C. M. Emerson. Captain Rickman verifies the report that he sent from Valparaiso on October 19 to the ef- fect that on October 12 he sighted a disman- tled steamer abandoned and partly submerged in latitude 48 degrees south and 64 degrees west. He sald he belleved the derelict to be a dapger to navigation. Bt L Valuable Cargo of Furs. The steamship Harold Hollar arrived in port vesterday with & cargo of furs of great value. Among the lot were 8300 sealskins, 57 sea otter skins and a misceilaneous assortment of rare sable, bear and fox skins. She is con- sined to Roth, Blum & Co. She was four- teen and a half days from Petropaviovski, via Berin. Sea and Copper Islands. Captain M. H. Thwing reports that on December 20 the steamer lost a blade of her propelier. g T Loses Anchor and Chain. [Tke schoomer E. B. Jackson lost her an- chor and twenty fathoms of her chain on Sat- urday night. She was lying oft Meiggs wharf, when she was struck by a heavy northw equall, which was the cause of the mishap. ‘Tae vessel suffered no other loss. s 1o el Transports Gayly Decked.

According to La Metallurgie, at a re- cent meeting of the Socitie d’Encour- agement pour I'Industrie National, an| interesting paper was read on the sub- 3 stitution of aluminum for wood in the machinery of spinning mills. In the' textile ~ industries—spinning, and silk weaving, ‘wooden bobbin is generally used. This is cheap and easily worked, but it has| many drawbacks. Being very metric, it suffers from variations of temperature; this accounts for the fact that in spinning factories where the atmosphere 1g full of humidity the bob- | bins revolve irregularly, causing days at Which stacken the speed and oncaston ed Senday S5 f. the threads to break. The result is ¥ ‘waste of stuff and loss of time in join- | ing the threads again. It has been' 38 proposed to substitute aluminum for wood. Bobbins made of this metal re- day, for Tomales, volve in any temperature and any de- gree of humidity; their relative light- ' ness (five aluminum bobbins weigh no mobre than two wooden ones) allows | the machines carying v more quickly, or obtained at them tides of the | to time; the dyeing, ! among others—a ' hygro- | to move equal speed may WEEK DA YS—6:05, v, 11:13 | a. m:i2 3:40, 5:00, 5:20 p. m.
