Drunken Sailor Plunges Into the Bay.
Movements of Shipping.

According to orders, the Rush will sail for
Alaska to-day at noon. She is ordered back
to the sealing grounds. as it is reported that
many of the sealers, not satisfied with the
few seals taken, are waiting to make
descent on the rookeres later on, when the
war-ships have left the Behring Sea. and
there would be no one to prevent them from
killing all the seals they could catch. The
Rush will remain around the seal islands
until the middle Of December.
CRAZY SAILOR.
Chris Olsen, drunken sailor, created
great excitement at Clay street wharf yes
terday morning. about o'clock, by walk
ing to the edge of the float and plunging into
the bay. The man was quickly tished out
by the aid Of bOat-hOok, but, to the sur
prise of his rescuers, he at once plunged in
again. This time he was allowed to paddle
around to his hearts content, and when
fished out the second time was pretty sober.
After wringing most of the bllge water out
of his clothes lie disappeared along East
street.
ALONG THE FRONT.
The city 'front.' from Folsom street to
Fishermen's Wharf, was crowded with peo-
pie yesterday afternoon, most OF whom were
on their way to see the boat-race. The
various steamers chartered by enterprising
individuals had scores OF men along the
front selling tickets, and up to O'Clock,
when the last boat lett for the other side of
tie bay, men, women and children were
surrounded by the noisy fellows intent on
obtaining a half dollar in exchange Tor
piece of pasiebuard that entitled the holder
TO standing room on the craft for which the
ticket was issued. One enterprslng lndl-
yidual made quite snug sum by selling be-
gus tickets at half dollar each. He took
rfr tNll 70
mia, and must have sold nearly 100 tickets.
The crowd at the ferries was very heavy,
and the ticket clerks had their hands full
while the police had all they could do to
keep the crowd moving. Several narrow
escapes from being run over were reported,
especially at the end of the Market-street
system, but owing to the Watchtulness Of
the employees no one was hurt
