SEA AND SHORE.
Picking Up the Vikings Anchor.
Sale of the RObarts.

When the schooner Viking arrived in port
on Thursday evening from Port Oxford a
strong breeze was blowing, and Captain
Dannevig rounded to quickly off Meiggs
Wharf and let go his anchor and paid out
chain. The schooner had good Roadway
on, and when the strain came on the chain
it parted, the anchor and thirty-tye fathoms
OF chain going to the bottom. The other
anchor was let 60. and brought the vessel
up. Yesterday Captain L. p. Nissen, owner
of the Viking, chartered the tug Robarts,
and, having secured a grappler from White

time had the missing anchors and chain
picked up.

The tug Robarts, which formerly piled up
north and which for the past year has been
plying the waters of the bay, has been sold
by III. Dutard to Captain Smith, who took
command of her yesterday. The Robarts

new, as she was built at this port in 1887.
Two eoal-laden vessels arrived yesterday,

leer. The former brought 2786 tons from
Tacoma and the latter 1888 tons from De-

aneroid to 1928.
j. F. Lutrell, who has been for the past
ten years purser on the Pacific Coast Steam
ship Company's boats, sailed on Thursday

turned to port yesterday afternoon. Cap

PEKING'S TOY RAILWAY.
A Line Three Miles Long Which Diver
"a EJnnarar

"A Line 1nree miles Long which Diverts
the Chinese Emperor.
About two years ago they presented a
complete miniature railway to the Emperor
through Ii Hung Chang, and the line.
which is about three miles long, is laid
down within the imperial city.
The young Emperor is very much inter-
ested in its workings and spends a great
deal of his time in riding to and fro in the
beautifully appointed little carriages.
He was greatly struck with the toy rail-
way. and its influence upon the recent de-
crees has been very considerable. The old
reacti0nary party among his advisers were
adverse to the miniature line being laid
down within the precincts of the sacred
city, and it was very near being returned to
the donors.
But the Government was afraid lest it
should give offense to the French, who
are greatly feared and respected since
they burned and sank the Chinese fleet at
Foochow, and inflicted such disastrous de-
feats upon the Chinese legi0ns in the south.
In the end the present was accepted. but
the high authorities would not allow any
foreigners to have hand in laying down
or working the model railway.
The result was when they started the
little engine they could not stop it and
great CONSERVATION was occasioned to the
occupants in the palace by their inability
to control the strange cOntrivance of the
foreigners, which dashed along the line till
1t was pulled up by coming in contact with
mound of earth.
Since then, however, French driver has
been procured, and the Emperor is a fire.

Saved by Telecraph Wires,

II have never been SO happy before in all
my life," said Henry SOulen of 831 Tenth
street, the father of a fifteen-year-old boy
who fell from fifth-story window in the
new insurance building, and was saved
from a horrible death by alighting upon a
mass of telegraph wires. Mr. S0ulen was
talking about his sons escape, and, al
though two days have elapsed, his voice
trembled with emotion. 81 have just been
over to the scene of the accident" he stated,
land consider that my boys escape was
simply wonderful. The wires upon which
he fell are not more than dozen in mum
ber." 1t appears that young Soulen did
not tell his parents of his frightful expe-
rience. John reached home Saturday
evening"" said his father, "ate his supper
and acted as if nothing had happened. He
thought he might as well keep quiet so long
as he had not been hurt. In the evening
my son Herman. who had read about the
affair while downtown, rushed into the
house, grabbed John in his arms. and
thanked God that he was still alive. Then
we heard for the first time of Johns fearful
experience. From the Milwaukee Wis

Venison is now in season. Poultry is more abun-
dant, with the exception of Turkeys, which are
somewhat dearer
Butter, Eggs and Cheese show no change.
Mutton and Lamb are scarce all over the Coast, as
many sheep persisted in the severe storms last WIN
ter San Francisco is shipping Mutton to oregon
and British Columbia, and Southern California and
Arizona are shipping to Chicago and Missouri River
points. This explains the high prices.
Watermeons, Grapes and Neetarnes have ap-
peared but are scarce and dear. Peaches are more
abundant and cheaper, having been attracted in
large quantities TO this market by the recent high
prices. Cherries and Currants dearer, as their
season is about over. Figs cheaper
The summer Vegetables are all cheaper and more
abundant.
Some kinds of Fish are cheaper.
