AN ANCIENT CRAFT.
Weird Yarns Told of II Century Old Shi,
Near TiburOn.

Weird Yarns Told of II Century-OId Shin
Near Tiburon.
Lying at Belvidcrc, near Tiburon. is
an ancient hull, Scared and scathed by
the ravagcs OF time and the elements
1t is neither large, formidable nor
ghostly looking, yet tales have been
told of it in Tiburon which give it an
uncnvinble notoricty.
1t has been said that on stormy NIGHTS.
when the treacherous currents in Rae
coon straits run swiftly and great bill
lows come surging i'll from the Pacific,
that scenes in cOnsonancc with the
wildness of the elements are acted out
on the strange, black hulk Ghostly
sailors in strange costumes run ND the
skeleton masts and behave in all ways
as if the craft were battling with the
gale. Tiburon Munchauscns say that
husky, hollow noises minglc with the
winds that form a whirlpool about the
blunt bow, commands are given in a
Latin tongue and unsubstantial forms
jump hither and thithcr among the rig
ging to obey like active monkeys.
However doubtful may be the stories
which are told of the vessels, she GER
tainly has Il history. This history was
searched for among some local ancient
mariners yesterday. They all said that
the hulk WaS that of the bark Rcmifalo
One old salt who claimed to know the
full pedigree of the Rcmifalo said she
was Il century old. A hundred years
ago she was considered, though of only
200 tons burden, quite large ship She
was originally full-riggcd ship, and is
70 h.,x-n
merchantmen. Many years ago she
came to this port, and for some reason
or other was condemned and sold Nick
Richard, the wcll-known Russian ship
owner, bought her and changed her into
II bark.
''She carried coal cargos," said the re-
porter's informant, ''between hei = and
Australia. She was n stanch vessel in
spite of her marvellous age, and was
built entirely of oak. Her hull had a.
very blunt appearance, fore and aft
with u sharply outlined bottom tell
you, sir, She was a regular waterwitch
Heightened yachts and speedy schooners
were nowhere longside of her. She
could beat en- all working to wind
ward.
81 remember she went to Sydney
years since. Her commander, Captain
Howard, more for joke than anything
else, announced that she was the ship
that took the first voyagcrs to Aus
tralia. The story was believed, and the
little craft was visited by hundreds of
people.
About eight years ago it was decided
to end the vessels long life of useful
ness. She was vcrging toward decay,
and it was feared that in some gale She
would go to pieces all ut once. She
was accordingly towcd to where she
now lies. All the copper and iron have
been taken from her hull, and She has
been left to bleach in the sun and be car
ried off pieccmeal by the tidcs."-San
Francisco Chronicle.

In cold weather it is not advisable
to wash the exposed portions of the

even to wash them in cold water at all.
LulScwarm water should always be
made use of, together with mild soap,
the alternative being the chapping of

The suit of w. j. O'Brien against
Osborn & Folger was heard by Superior
Judge Van Fleet yesterday.
O'Brien, it appeared, had stored some
sixty or more barrels of lime in the de-

agreement was to pay at the rate of five
cents per barrel for the privilege He
was in the contracting business, and
wanted to take the barrels out as he
needed them.

favor of the plaintiff for the property or
