SEA AND SHORE.
A Small Strike Of L0ngsh0re
LUmbermen.
No Further Trouble for the West Indian.
Ships That Are Supposed to Have Been
Lost-struck Bottom in Salmon Bay.

The harbor police had their hands full on
the front yesterday. In addition to the de-
tail sent to the West Indian, squad was
sent to keep the peace at Fremont-street
Wharf, where a small strikewas in prog
ress. The schooner Bangor arrived from
Seattle a few days ago with cargo OF lum-
Der consigned 10 the Pacific Pine Lumber
COMPANY. Some time ago this firm an
nounced its intention of reducing the wages
of the UNDERSTANDINGS from 81 to So per
dav. and the threat was put into execution
yesterday morning.
Not a man of the LongshOremen's Lum-
Der Union could be induced to work at those
figures and the firm started 10 hunt up
nOn-union crew to unload the vessel. BY
noon it had secured four willing to work for
So per day, and they we've taken to the
wharf and set to work. The news that a
new crew was at work on the Bangor quick
ly spread and a crowd of nearly 200 gath
ell ed, on the scene They were hooted aud
jeered but no attempt was made to modest
them or prevent them working.
1t was thought that the union sailors on
the schooner would walk ashore; but they
are bound by their contract to discharge
the vessel, so they did not quit, but had
rather an easy time OF il, as the four on the
wharf could not take the lumber away hall
as fast as the sailors put it ashore. The
company will have a larger force OF men at
work this morning, and declares II Will mol
pay more than IS day 10 any man, union
or non-uniOn, 10 handle lumber.
THE WEST INDIANS CREW.
A large crowd Of union sailors and long
shoremen gathered on Section 3 OF the sea-
wall 10 see the steamer West Indian leave
for Central America. 1t was well known
that Captain Scott had expressed his lnten-
ton of taking a deep-water crew, ana as
the coast seamen think the crew should be
union men trouble was feared. There was
not the slightest trouble, although several
of the harbOr police were on hand. 1t was
learned that the crew was shipped at the
British Consulate, aud the men went on
board without being mOleSted.
The steamer was booked to leave at l
O'clock in the afternoon. but the tugwas I'M
able TO get her away from the sea-wall as
she drew too much water and she had To re-
main until the night tide. Among her cargo
are - horses and SIX head VI cattle con-
signed 10 Central America. The horses
were taken on board in a sling and while
being hOiSted up the shiu's side one OF the
animals slipped out Of tue sling, took
a header into the bay and at once struck
out for Goat Island, amid the cheers OF the
assembled mob.
A boat was lowered and the animal lowed
around to the slip at Eisherman's Wharf,
where il was landed and safely slowed away
between decks.
BELIEVED TO BE LOST.
It is now generally conceded among
shipping men that the American ship A.
McCaHum is lost. She is out 1S5 days from
New York and the last heard Of her was
when she was spoken on December %, In
latitude s. south. longitude 33' west The
WTeCk8ge seen by the crew Of the Drum
rex is Thought to have belonged 10 the Nc
Callum. as the description OF the spars and
sails is that Of the missing ship. The Nc
CaIlum was commanded by Captain O Brien,
and was laden with a general cargo, con-
signe1 10 SattOn x Beebe Of this city,
But the McCallum is not the only ship
that IS generally accepted as missing. The
British ship Minnyhive is long overdue
from Swansea with a cargo Of coal for
BafOur, Guthrie x Co. She sailed from
Swansea for this port 200 days ago, and was
spoken on August 20 in latitude l50 north,
longitude 26- west, since which nothing has
been heard Of her. Her agents are feeling
very uneasy over her nOn-appearance. The
general opinion Is that she has been burned
al sea and perhaps all hands lost.
The British iron snip Glenlui Is also
thought 70 be lost, as she IS now out ninety
seven DAYS from Sydney, y. s. w. Like
the Minnyhive. she is consigned TO Balfour
Guthrie x Co., VINO have no great hopes Of
ever seeing her come into port
STUCK n THE MUD.
The three-mast schooner Premier, which
finished loading lumber in Salmon Bay last
week for San Francisco, went aground when
she was being tOwed out on Sunday. An
attempt was made to help her out on every
tide, but she struck the bottom again every
time until Friday, when the tug Mystic
helped her out and t0wed her down the
4 3D.. .
70 sea. Much larger vessels than the
Premier have loaded in Salmon Bay and
went without difficulty, but she seemed 10
be out OF luck.
Since the Carmen Island Salt Company
became the owners Of the steamer Record it
has made some important changes in her
not the least being that OF her name, which
will henceforth be Carmen.
The bark Richard III, 9ij tons, has been
chartered TO carry coal from Departure Bay
to this port by George Futch.
THE DRUNROCK.
The big steel ship Drumrock, a descrlp-
ton Of which was given a few days ago,
locked at UniOn-street Wharf yesterday
morning TO discharge cargo. The Drum
rock is the largest sailing ship that has ever
entered the harbOr. not excepting the Shen-
andOah, in spite Of the fact that the Sheuan-
d0ah registers more than the Drumrock.
The two ships are measured by different
systems, and II the British ship were meas
ured according to the American system she
would show nearly 3o0;tons larger than the
Shenandoah.
The weather outside the heads yesterday
was fOgRy, with a northeast breeze six miles
an hour The barometer stood 1922.
