credit 10 Il grizzly bear. The two men rolled
from the dock into the bay, and in spite OF
all tuat could be done TO separate them con-

While on her way to this city on the .
O'Clock trip yesterday afternoon the ferry

belouge could be seen, but on the return
trip to Oakland the steamer passed a white
hall boat adrit without oars. mast or sail.
No one was in the boat, and as II was not

white and, when passed, was about half
way between Goat Island and the Oakland
Mole.
