A DAYS LOCAL GRlST
The Evangel Beached at Ex-
treme High Tide and
Still Aground
Captain Morgan Hopes That
This Mornings Tide
May Lift Her
Monthly Report of the City
Schools---Local and
Personal Notes

The steamer Evangel was placed on
the beach just inside Deadman's point
at o'clock yesterday morning for the
purpose Of replacing her propeller. At
the present writing q a. M she is still
there, with strong probabilities that she
may remain there until pulled off. All
but one of the buckets of her wheel had
been broken off in various encounters
with rocks and shoals. Captain Nor
gan, relying upon the tide table pre-
pared at the Cape Flattery station,
beached the vessel at extreme high
tide, believing that the tide twelve
hours later would rise over a foot
higher, as the tide table announced.
The tide yesterday afternoon did not
rise as high by over foot as the pre-
ceding tide, and consequently the
Evangel could not be floated. Captain
Morgan is in hopes that there will be
water enough to float her on this morn
ing's tide, but this is doubted by many
local salts, who say that the tide Of yes.
terday morning, when the vessel was
beached, was the highest of the pres
ent moon.
