TIE ST. sERAsTlAN,s LOG.



The EVENING JOURNAL of yesterday in
speaking about the second return of the
st. Sebastian stated that great many
persons thought the men were afraid to go
around Hatteras and for this reason she
returned.
Captain s. A. Bravo of st. Augustine,
who is commander Of the little steamer,
takes exceptions to the reflection on the
courage of himself and crew and tells the
story of his two unsuccessful efforts to
round Hatteras.
The steamer sailed on her first trip on
January A. Captain Sam Martin, of New
York, was pilot and sailing master. The
steamer was compelled to put into
Cohansie creek, q small stream that
empties into the Delaware bay from New
Jersey near Ship John Lighthouse, and
was compelled to remain there for two
days on account of rough weather. From
this point the steamer went to the Break
water which, Captain Bravo states, he
does not consider good harbor. They
therefore ran back to Broadkiln creek,
where they remained two days longer
They then started again for the Break.
water which they reached about l.3O
o'clock that day. They then ventured
with their light draft craft out on the
ocean and at 300 o'clock reached Chinco-
league.
The captain states that they could not
enter the bay at night, as there Is a bar
there The officers found that they were
about to run out Of coal, having kept up
steam to keep warm while the vessel lay
to. They therefore started for Delaware
City to get coal, ana when they arrived
at that place concluded to come to Viii
mington.
There was misunderstanding on the
arrival Of the boat at this place between
Captain Watson and Pilot Martin, and
Martin went to New York to see the
agents Of the company.
A new pilot was engaged and tbs
steamer left again on January IA, at 2
a. m. On arriving at Ship John lighi
it was found that something was wrong
with the boiler. Steam was blown off
and an examination made. Eleven looss
riyets and leak were found. The engi
neer fixed up the things the best he coulC
and the steamer came up the river K
New Castle. Workmen from the Pussy
and Jones Company were employed K
drive the rivets. f. B. Fitzgerald, tbs
engineer of the Steamboat Company
thought there was more wrong than ap.
peared on the surface, and demanded {
further investigation. Yesterday. Mr.
Pusey and two government Inspector
went to New Castle to give the boilers .
thorough inspection One of the inspec
tors said he found flaw in one of thu
| Sheets
Mr. Fitzgerald proposed to Mr.. Pussy
and the two inspectors If they would Civ
/ them a certificate that the boat was al
right, they would proceed to sea. Thi
paper WAS refused The defective shee
/ win be cut out and replaced and the st
| Sebastian will then make another trial a

The captain states that not a man il
the crew Is afraid to make the trip. Tit
owners are anxious for the boat to get t,
her destination as they consider they arr
/ losing $500 per day by the delay.

AWAITING THE VERDICT.
The Jury In the Anderson Damage Case
Considering the Evidence.

The Jury In the Anderson Damage Case
Considering the Evidence.
Levi O. Bird Esq. made the closing
argument in the Anderson damage case
against the city in Superior Court yes
terday afternoon. He spoke for the
plaintiff for one hour and asked for
damages Of 81. 25s and such additional
amount as the jury might determine for
the general nuisance that resulted from
the flooding of the cellar.
The charging of the jury was post
poned until this morning.
Chief Justice Comegys charged the
jury this morning. he held that the
city was responsible. If the jury found
that the damage was caused through
negligence. That the city should have a
supervision of all work done within its
limits on streets or other works con-
trolled by it, and the lack of such super
vision is negligence. If the water got in
the cellar through negligence of the
plumber the defendant is negligent, and
the defendant, and not the plaintiff
should look to the plumber for damages.
The charge was clearly in favor of the
plaintiff. The jury retired at 1910
o'clock
The jury had not returned when court
took a recess at o'clock.

The Dog Kirins Bill =, planned.

The reason of the difference between
the bill of Dog Catcher Writ for killing
Ga dogs. and the certificate of Bailiff
Kelley that but sc dogs were killed, is
explained as follows The Bailiff is paid
by the Council to witness the killing OF
dogs. Writ notifies the bailiff when
ever he is ready to kin lot Of dogs.
Kelley was so notified one day last
month, but could not visit the pound on
that day to witness the executions Writ

did not witness the slaughter, he would
not certify TO the killing.

A report that there are several cases
of small pox in this city is untrue. The
Executive Officers of the Board of Health
state that If there is any of the loath-
some disease, it is unknown TO the board
Physicians who should have such cases,
are liable TO fiue If they do not report
them Immediately. Some foundation to
the rumor may have been created BY the
fact that La Grippe, when its victim has
recovered, often leaves rash similar 10
prickly heat. Ignorant persons think
this is small pox.
