"G0 AHEAD, I'LL WATT"
Last Words of the Captain on
Being Admonished.
What Bos'en Taken Says of the Hour of Ter
ror-Cast Into the Waves, but Saved,
Though His Grasp Failed.

On the water front, especially at the
Oceanic Steamship Dock, the interest in
the welfare of the three surviving sailors
was very marked, and what may have been
their histories in the moments Uf danger
were wildly guessed at.
No one was allowed on board the steamer
Alameda 10 speak to the men as they were
so fatigued that any conversation with
them would have been painful to them and
unsatisfactory TO all parties.
They were given the very best of care by
all hands and rose after an eight-hours'
sleep considerably recuperated. They ex-
pressed wish to 60 to the Sailors Home at
the foot of Harrison street and were given
tickets of leave.
TAKEN GOOD CARE OF.
At the Sailors Home they registered as
Joseph Taken, Englishman; George Hanna,
American, ard Bernard johnson, Norwe-
gian. They were then given hearty break
fast, while the sailors crowded around them
to hear from their own lips their stories To
them, many of whom had experienced hair
breadth ESCAPES, the lucky trio were trium-
yirate'oi heroes.
After breakfast the sailors were provided
with room and 81 each in ploney to defray
The inevitable, though small expenses that
each sailor has to meet when without his
outfit, and at noon they started forth to "do'
the town.
Their progress along the water front was
often reported back to the Sailors Home, as
every sailor had 10 say word Of good-fel-
lowship and press their hands, "just for
luck, don't you know"-it being SUPER
stltlon that the touch of a rescued sailor is
lucky. So tar as The sea-dogs were con-
cerned tile trio were not stran gers, and that
one touch Of feeling had made them akin.

Joseph Taken, bos'eD, and George Han

inches in height and johnson is about five
feet i've or six inches. All are of sturdy
build and far superior to the average sea-
man, especially johnson, whose biceps and
chest are Of such a size and power of ex-
pansion as to brand him man Of superior
athletic strength. His actions in the water
bear out his physical promises.

KIND WORDS FOR TIE CAPTAIN.
The captain was left dead on board. His
ship men res, ,ued speak kindly of his treat
ment of them and indorse the statement Of
First Officer Barclay. Two of the rescued
seamen are hurt but not seriously, accord
ing to the doctor who was called.
Its reported that several dead bodies have
been found along the beach, but the cap
tain's body has not yet been seen.
Barclay, with the assistance of the sea-
men, tried to save the captain, but discov-
cred that he was dead. and locked out to
save themselves.
When Barclay left the ship it was break
ing up RAPIDLY and nothing will remain.
Barclay and his men will remain at Susa-
villas house until tomorrow, where every
thing vii be done for them.
A HEAVY STORM.
1t has been a stormy day on the Marin
coast. At Bonita Lighthouse at noon the
barometer was falling and had reached the
lowest point in nineteen years.
The life-saving crew were all day at Ten
nessee Cove, but returned from a fruitless
search tonight and went to Fort Point Sta
tion. Where the ship was wrecked are high
bluffs and rocks, and Barclay wonders how
he reached land.
1t was a frghtful night such as is seldom
chronicled along the California coast.

my watch on. Pretty soon the captain
hailed the tug Monarch. which was not far
distant 1t approached within easy speak
ing distance. and Captain Colcord asked
how much would be charged him to tow
the ship into bay. Fifty dollars was asked.
A dispute followed the offer, the captain
claiming it was too eXorbitant, and offered
instead S25. This was refused. Then the
captain offered to divide the difference
and give S37 80, but this was refused per-
emptoTIly. Captain CoIcOrd was in high
dudgeon and ordered the Monarch to get
away then, andt he tug drew away.
PARLEYING FOR TERMS.
meanwhile the sailors alGft had furled
the nainsau and were ordered farther up
Tor the same purpose Seeing from a dis
tance the Monarch withdraw from the
Elizabeth's side and not understanding why
1t should do so, the tug Alert hove 10 and
offered assistance. Again occurred a parley
on terms, which were finally agreed upon,
and hawser was prepared. 1t soon gave
away, and another was prepared. This took
several minutes. To us it seemed hours,
but, perhaps, the time was not more than
twenty or twenty-five minutes. just as the
second hawser was made fast the vessel
touched bottom. 1t shivered but a fraction
OF an instant, strained, then, like a van
qGished ship, equally strong in every part,

missing he plunged into the bowling, Seeth-

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
Intimation That Cleveland Will Not Accept
the Democratic Nomination


the Democratic Nomination.
New YORK. Feb. 22.-In his Washington
letter. to the Tribune, T. C. Crawford says:
News of a mysterious pronunciamento from
Cleveland runs through Democratic circles.
His lriendsat tie capital say that he will
come out soon in a letter absolutely declin-
ing to be a candidate. Why he should take
occasion al this particular time to make an
announcement of this sort is not easy to un-
derstand. There is no immediate danger
OF his being nominated which requires such
means of defense. The Democrats are
much broken up in their own minds about
what is best to be done This is specially
true since Cleveland wrote his letter on the
silver question. Sill, none of the Demo-
cratic leaders have felt called upon to ex-
press more than casual opinion. The
presidential year is still too far away to call
Tor anything except speculation. 1t is just
possible that candidates are to be an
nouDced this year on the Democratic side
through forms of negation, and Cleveland
is 10 announce at an early day that under
no circumstances would he accept.

THAT ENGLISH SHIP.

No Fears Entertained of Her Safety-She
Did Not Touch Ground.
1t is the opinion of those most competent
to judge of such matters, that the English
ship reported to have struck the ground
about tie same time that the Elizabeth went
ashore, did not touch the ground at all, but
wore around in time to prevent her going
ashore. If she had struck in the heavy sea
when running, her bottom would have been
smashed in. Nc fears are expressed for her
safety, as she had pilot on board.
She will no doubt get into port as soon as
the weather is little better.
