The { final result alone, be it satety or bereave- | ment, will be known to them, and the { long night's agony of suspense will have been spared them. Out at 1220 Laguna street, in a room of the upper floor, Mrs. Holmes, wife of First Officer Holmes, crooned softly to | her ten-months-old baby girl, while down- | stairs her mother, to whom the news had been broken by a Call reporter, rocked |in her chair in Intolerable suspemse. It was the mother who came to the door when The Call representative called, and 1t was she who heard the news behind the tight-shut doors of the parlor. Instinc- tively the conversation dropped to whis- pers, for from the floor above came the sound of & cradle swinging to and fro, | and the murmur of a lullaby. . It was just one year on the first day of last November that Officer Holmes took Mildred Tracy to the altar. He has been a seaman from childhood and is of a race | of seamen. rie met Miss Tracy during one of his short stays ashore, and wooed and won her in a whirlwind campaign. | Last night he was fighting for the life of others and his own against the malicious elements, And his wife at home, uncon- scious, was rocking to sleep their ten- months-old baby Maud. ESCAPES NIGHT OF AGONY. And the same mercy of ignorance, if it prove at the end to be a mercy, was being Vouchsafed at the same time to Mary Elizabeth Johnson, wife of Captain Oscar Johnson. Their home is at 2215 Powell street, in that quarter of the city, liked of seafaring men, from which glimpses of the bay-waters and of long-masted ships are always visible. They have a little daughter, Elizabeth, a golden-haired child, three years old, beloved of all the neighborhood. Yesterday/at 5 o'clock, while thé news- boys were already filling the streets with their cries of *Extra,”” Mrs. Johnson, seized with a feeling of loneliness, took her little daughter and went with her to pass the night with friends who have a cottage near the CHff House. By a kind chance, the cries of “Extra” did not draw her attention, she reached her des- tination ignorant of the peril of.her hus- band and his ship.

But she did not know that at the very moment her hus- band was fighting the bitter fight which may be his last. Captain Johnson has been in the employ of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company for the last fifteen years. He is a native of Sweden, came to the United States early, and went to sea when a boy.
