THE CHEMICAL ENGINES.
Energetic Demand of Suburbs for Pro-
lection From Fire.

The action of the fire commissioners
with regard to the disposal of the new
chemical engine now in storage is awaited
with interest by the Market street and
Queen Anne Town people. Both the east
ern end and the northern end residents
ask for 1t, and, voicing the sentiments OF
the Market street people, Mr.. Frank
TwicheIl said yesterday:
"The commissioners should not hesitate
as to the disposal OF the engine, but should
put It in the eastern end Immediately. We
are certainly more entitled 10 the engine
than the Queen Anne people, for we have
absolutely no protection from nre. There
are blocks of wooden buildings out in our
end and many costly residences. II ire
should ever break out, il is two miles TO
the nearest engine-house, and, having no
water, everything would go up in smoke.
We could not help ourselves.
I'm Queen Anne Town the residents are
much better protected. They have hy-
drants and a force of water from Lake
Union. Ii is but a short distance, COM
paratively, to the Battery street engine
house, and ire there can be easily
fought.
when it came to deciding as to the
proper place to station the new chemical,
/ think the commissioners should give it
TO us. People out our way are beginning
to feel the necessity of protection from ire
very forciby

ARRIVAL OF THE HOMER.
Heavy Seas for More Than Four
Months.

The bark George S. Homer arrived in
port yesterday from New York, having
been out since August 20, about four and
half months. Her cargo consists of /, 400
tons of railroad iron. consigned to Balfour
Guthrie & Co., and about 400 tons of
general merchandise, mostly paper, soap
and plaster. Her captain, Clarence
Hemeon, was interviewed by Posr-INTEI-
LIGENcER reporter last evening, and gave
the following account of the VOYAGE:
Immediately after We lett New York
We experienced heavy weather. which
continued for several days. After that it
grew little better, until we neared Cape
Horn, but at times the wind was very
high, though the SKY was nice and clear.
on Cape Horn we encountered a terribly
heavy wind and sea, which made US think
at times that We would have to take down
our masts, but we stuck to her. and after a
hard struggle got around all right. We
were IN hopes, after having encountered
such high winds off the Atlantic coast,
that after we rounded the Horn as they
call 1T, we would be favored with better
weather, but there was but little difference,
and especially off Cape Flattery we had a
very heavy sea. So | may say we have en-
countered heavy weather on the passage
almost continually. We had one fortunate
advantage, however; il was generally clear
ABOUT oUU miles west OF San Francisco
We met the British bark lamar L. Mar
shall, which had on board the crew of the
sunken snip Struan. Captain kenney, of
the Marshall, sent me letter and wanted
Us 10 take the crew, which | considered a
very inconsiderate request, to say the
least, as we would have to keep them
aboard for weeks, while the Marshall
could put them off at San Francisco in
two or three days. We gave them some
provisions. but gently declined to comply
with Captain Kenney's request"
In reply TO the question as to how the
crew spent Christmas, Captain Hemeon
said that the steward gave them an ex-
cellent dinner, and they all felt happy not
outstanding the hardships they suffered
on the trip.
He discharged his crew at Port Town
send, not knowing how long he would
have to lie here before another cargo is
loaded, and then they refused 10 help him
from Port Townsend to Seattle unless he
would pay them 81 per day. This he re-
fused to DO, and with the assistance of two
or three friends he came up without them.

self padded across until the line attached
to the raft was taut. We then swan the
rest of the way. In the swim the oar was
lost The two other men then hauled the
raft back and padded out to the middle of
the stream when they threw the end of
the ltne ashore to US and we hauled the
raft to the bank We tried to make a Ire
but could not make the wood ignite. An
other succession of mountains was
climbed over and shortly after noon the
beach was reached.
sThis was followed with an idea that some
of the shipwrecked party might have
passed that way. An Indian hut was
reached. No one was there. We then
passed on and reached the hfth river.
There was an Indian village on the other
side, and shots were hred to arrest the at
tention of the natives. An Indian terried
us across and we learned there that the
castaways had started six days before for
San Juan.
The party proceeded to Bonilla point,
where they passed the night in the house
of the Dominion superintendent of the
telegraph. The next day the Corwin APP
peared on the scene. The Indians would
not take out the party through the heavy
surf Lieutenant Deverett took the Cor
wins surf-hoat and succeeded in making a
landing. When the three men got on
board the Corwin they had very little of
their original clothing left. They were
footsore and weary, and had not closed
their eyes in three days.
As may be remembered the crew of the
Dare got safely to Victoria. Although
Lieutenant Dodge and his purity did not
rescue them, everyone is loud in praise of
the galantry shown by Lieutenant Dodge
and the two seamen in making journey,
the danger of which was so great that even
the Indians refused to undertake it.
