Movements and Charters.
Bad as the weather was around San Fran
cisco during the recent storm it WINS very
mild compared to what was experienced
along the northern part of the coast. The
steamer Emily arrived from Coos Bay yes
terdsy and Captain Roberts report shows
that the storm around that section of the
country was very severe. The Emily left
Coos Bay on December 4h, and at that
time the bar was very rough and the fol-
lowing vessels were inside awaiting a
chance to get out: Steamers Arago, Arcata
and Maggie Ross and the schooners G.. IL.
Merchant and American Girl. The steamer
Del N0rte, Captain Stocktieth, was off the
bar four days, but went in on the A,h inst.
She had very bad weather going up, but be-
haved splendidly, and in spite OF the terrific
seas, rode cut the storm like Il duck and
reached port without having sustained any
damage 1t blew so hard on the Sd that all
the vessels lying at the wharve5 at Empire
City had to leave and seek shelter at North
Bend. The Emily reached Crescent City on
Saturday and found the steamer A. b.
Fields lying there. She was from Hum
b0ldt and it took her seven days to make
the trip owing tn the terrible weather. Her
coal and provisions gave out and she was
compelled to go TO Crescent City, because
she could not enter any of the bar harborS.
All hands on board the Fields were well, but
the crew Will not forget the trip for some
time.
"DOCKED" FOR DEsERTION,
When the ship Manuel Llaguna arrived
at this port from New York few days ago
the sailors followed the usual custom of the
port and went ashore as soon as the anchor
was down. The men were paid eff yeSter-
day and Captain Smalley took advantage of
the clause IN the articles which states that
the crew must stay by the vessel until she is
locked, and deducted So from each man for
what was claimed to be deSerton. In
nlnety-nlne cases out of a hundred the men
are gwen to understand that as soon as the
anchor is down the sooner they leave the
ship tile better. and the men who do not
leave are given work that soon cOmpes
them to leave. If this savOred of desertion
the captains would Eot be slow about stop
ping the mems wages, aud few that arrive
here in American vessels would receive
cent,
FALL OF A SAILOR.
John Edwards, a sailor on the British
ship GOwanburu, lying at the Oakland mole,
very nearly lost his life on Sunday night.
While trying TO go on board he lost his bal
ance and fell between the ship and the
wharf. He was severely injured by striking
one of the tenders and had hardly strength
enough left to cling to pile. He was in
the water nearly an hour before he was
discovered. He was taken on board. but
was so i'll that DR.. Lawler was sent for yes
terday morning, and it was found that he
had sustained internal injuries that may
yet prove fatal.
The lighthouse tender Madrona has been
taken to Little Main street for Il general
overhauling, which will take fully month
10 complete.
BAD NUISANCE.
Nearly every vessel lying at the Wharves
at the foot of Howard street is covered
with the cOal-tar from the Howard-Street
sewer, and owners and captains are loud in
their complaints because the stuff sticks
like glue and is very hard TO scrub off. The
stuff comes from the San Francisco Gas
Light Company's works on Howard street,
and ii is claimed that it dispoSes of It's
superfuous cORl-tar by running it into the
sewers.
The fine tug Sea King has had a new
smokestack put on her and will soon be
ready again for service.
In order to increase the draught the
smokeStack OF the mail steamer City of
Sydney has been heightened l212 feet
