WAAlERS WRECKED.

Thos. Pope, whaling tender, was
dismastcd and abandoned on Au-
gust 2Sth, at Point Hope, Alaska,
during a n w gale. TIE wreck in
Guiding cargo was sold TO the cap
tain Of the steam whaler William
Lewis for 1925. The cargo on board
consisted of the catch of the follow
ing vessels:

package ivory.

bag furs.

bone, barrel ivory, package furs.
Jane Gray, scbooner-l5 bundles
(l6S0 lbs) whalebone.
Triton, hark-56 bundles (3400
lbs) whalebone.
The bone alone was valued at
$40, 900, and the vessel and cargo
were fully insured, the former in the
East and the latter here. Under
the peculiar circumstances there will
undoubtedly be Il rigid investiga-
ton before the insurance is paid.
The cargo all came safely down to
this port on the schooners Oscar
and Hattie, the captain of the Tho
mas Pope being passenger on the
same vessel, while tits reported the
vessel was still atloat when the Oscar
and Hattie left. Suits have been
entered in San Francisco, by the
owners of the cargo of the Pope, to
have the sale by the captain set
aside and the property returned to
them.
The steamer City of Rio de ia
metro, which arrived Wednesday
from Yokohama, brought the three
officers of the whaling bark Lagoda.
The Lagoda left this port on whal-
ing voyage at the opening of the
season, but had not long been under
way when leak was sprung. Al
the Caroline Islands the leak in.
creased, so that all hands were re.
CURED at the pumps. In the yellow
Sea the leakage increased, the double
pumps being used and the pumping
continuing steadily thirty minutes
every two hours. So dangerous be
came the situation that Captain
Leake was compelled to put into
Nladivostock, Siberia, where an en-
deavor was made to locate the
leaks. She was found to be badly
strained. Her bottom was in a ter
rible condition. Captain Leake die
what he could for his vessel ant
prepared to proceed on his whaling
journey. But an unexpected oppo
sition was met with on the part o
the crew. The men refused to g
any further in the dilapidated crai
into the northern waters, and dc
handed that the master put into som
port where there was an America
Consul, in order to have the vessel SUI
veyed. A ''round robin" was draw
up, signed by all land to this documer
the captain was compelled to al
l fix his signature. He agreed to til
: proposition of his men, and they re
r turned to work. Captain Leak
A asked them if they were Statistic
e with Yokohama, and they replied i
| the affirmative. When about Sc,
: enty miles off that port the ere
took sperm whale, giving 104 ba
rels of oil. Soon after terrible ga
sprang up and the leak increased
The Lagoda, however, reached "
s kohama in safety, was surveyed an
: condemned, and was to have bee
|, sold on the day the Rio left Yok
t hama, Captain Leake remaining b
hind in order to attend to the sa
/ of the vessel. The Lagoda's Office

y whaling fleet. The catch of the Ii
