The Army of Freedom met on the sand
lot Sunday afternoon, by order of the
Council of Twelve, and was presided over
by Il. E. Shannon, who said the prospects
Of the organization were very encouraging
more so than he had contemplated would
be the case at the commencement of the

the representative men of the city, nearly
all of whom were of the opinion that just

teresting to the public in general and the
lovers of the noble greyhound in particular.

| frightful mangling of the unfortunate
| young lawyer, Louis 0. Paisancs, on board
the Cornelius 0'Connor, resulted in his
death at the naval hospital at Mare Island

elapsing before the end was matter of
wonder to all. Coming down from Vallejo
the Ella was dashed upon rocks near Mare
Island lighthouse, and was crushed badly
and had to be abandoned. The sloop
Annie was strained in trying to run out
into San Pablo bay, and had to put back to
Vallejo half full of water. The Aggie got

up the hunks, so as to comply with the re-
quirements of the law. Unfortunately,
when Surveyor Brown arrived the Captain
was absent. Failing to find him, he sent
for the second mate and ordered him to
stop all further work. The mate could not
do so without the orders of the Captain.

as the Captain had no right to make any
repairs until the vessel had been officially
measured.
