Tiburon steamers that the Assistant Chief
Wharfinger, Charles Putnam decided to in
yestigate. A trip down the bay convinced
him that the stories were true. as he found
the ships Lord Dufferin. Sierra Cadena.
Crown Denmark and schooner Volante all
at anchor in the fairway. Steps were at
once taken to have the vessels moved to
safer berth. The fault does not lie with the
captains of the vessels, but 1t is the fault OF
the pilots and rowboat men.
One of the sailors belonging to the steam
schooner Thrasher, lying in the stream of
the oil works, tried to commit suicide yes
terday morning by jumping into the bay

| leaped from the boat into the water and
| tried 10 keep his head under. Moffat again
! seized him and held him until help arrived,
when the desperate man was taken ON board
| the vessel and taken below.
