AFLOAT ONCE MORE.
Macarthur Raised and Pumped
Out by the Fireboat.
LIEUT.. GEORGE AS A DIVER.
All the Furnishings Are Ruined-Ships
Eager for Lumber Cargoes to
Foreign Ports.
LIEUT.. GEORGE AS A DIVER

The United States survey steamer Nc
Arthur, which sank at the coal bunkers
Tuesday evening, was pumped out by the
fireboat and raised in about an hour az
low tide yesterday afternoon. The cabin,
saloon and engine-room looked as though
she might have been relic of the Johns
town flood, and even the furnishings IN
the piiot-house were all scattered about
and more or less damaged by water.
Tuesday night the officers hunted up
Captain Ryan, the diver, but he had no
diving suit. as he claims his own was
stolen some time ago. He finally sue
ceeded in getting suit from the dry dock,
but it was morning before he got around.
Even then he was not IN lit condition to
work. and wasted several hours without
accomplishing anything. Lieutenant
George at last became disguised and dived
down himself, stopping the openings IN
few minutes.
twas found that two air ports just un-
der the guard rail forward, into the fore
castle, had been left open and through
these the water entered. As the vessel
listed more and sank, two large square
ports opened and began letting in water
so rapidly that nothing could stop it.
AIlcr the NOEh Oh ldsttlinS bucSt ports
was completed the fireboat started pump
ing the boat out, and it was but short
time until the water was lowered so the
vessel began righting, and, when
the tide rose she Strengthened right
up. The work of the freboat
was highly commended all around, as it
would have been difficult task for any
other boat TO pump the Macarthur out.
The water kept coming in very rapidly at
first, but it was sucked out SO fast that the
inflow was soon overcome.
The furnishings. officers clothing. in
struments and records were considerably
damaged, and the provisions were all
destroyed. The vessel was towed out to
the buoy, where she will be placed in order
again.
Lieutenant Ray said Captain Ryan pre-
scented a bill for 500 for his work, but
finally compromised on SIS.

Labor Trouble on the Tug Holyoke.

PoRr TOWNSEND. March 31.-[Special.l-
A committee appointed by the Puget
Sound Engineers Association. of Seattle,
consisting of Frank Newhall, Fred Casper
and - Pears, to investigate the trouble
between the captain and engineer of the
tug Holyoke, convened this morning.
After examination of several witnesses the
committee adjourned to Hadlock to take
further testimony. The trouble originated
over the employment of an extra coal
passer by Chief Engineer B. w.
Rice, to assist his brother-in-law
in the discharge of his duties.
The manager of the Holyoke, J. B. Libby,
discharged the new employe, whereupon
Rice claimed that Tom Nielsen, master of
the Holyoke, was the complainant. Rice
quit the steamer and the association en-
gineers refused to sail with Nielsen pend
ing an investigation. Rice further charges
Nielsen with usurping his authority as
captain. In testifying this morning be-
fore the committee Rice repeatedly con-
tradicted himself on important points. A
decision will probably be rendered next
Monday

Indian Encsmpment Swept Out of Ex-
istence With Cable.

istence With a Cable.
The Indians who have for years made
Ballast island their camping ground were
unccremonionsly erected by the Oregon
Improvement Company yesterday. The
company regards them as a nuisance, and,
as they are not source of revenue, had
no compunction about removing them.
At Z O'Clock in the morning squaw
man who talks Chinook fiuently was dele
gated to notify the siwashes that they
must get ont or they would he forcihly put
out. About fifty Of them took his advice
and went, but the majority would not be-
lieye him and remained.
About O'Clock in the afternoon q loco
motive ran down the siding toward the
Ocean dock and stretched rope clear
around the island, with a slip-knot next
the road. Then the engine. in the pres
euoe of a great crowd of spectators backed
out again, dragging the rope with it. The
circle of hemp grew smaller around the
doomed encampment until it finally
dragged tents, shanties, canoes and the
whole miscellaneous makeup of an In
dian settlement into the water
As soon as the Indians saw that the
engine meant business a panic set in and
they made rush for safety, some laugh
ing, some cursing--all talking their gut
tural largon. Some made dash for their
canoes and pushed off from the shore.
others tied toward land. men women and
children falling over one another in their
haste TO escape the fatal circle. They
moved faster than they were ever seen to
move, and some of them actually ran.
Thecrowd watched the proceedings with
mixed feelings, many denounc,ng them as
unnecessarily harsh.
The camp on Ballast island is now a
thing of the past, for the company intends
20 keep the ground clear hereafter.

"They may be selling to certain few In

people who tell the Mayor that selling is
