Arrival Of the Bark Southern Chief From San
Pedro in Tow - Jack-Tars Ashore on
Liberty-Movements Of Ships.

On Sunday the yacht White Wings, Cap
tain Chittenden, went on a cruise around
the bay having a large pleasure party on
board. She returned to her berth at Clay
street Wharf, made fast and disembarked
her passengers about o'clock in the even
ing. Shortly afterward the T. C. Walker,
Captain Tyler, en- tered the slips from trip
to Martinez.
The stern-wheeler backed and filled and
waved around in the slip to the great dan
ger of the small craft. Finally her stern
swung around and crashed against the
White Wings, carrying away her main
boom and causing her to part her stern
lines. The yachts bow swung into the
wharf and her bowsprit was carried away.
The bulwa rks were also considerably dam
aged.
The White Wings belongs to the San

den reported the matter to Commodore

considered a gross act of carelessness on
the steamers part thoroughly investigated
by the Government local Inspectors.
