A skipper Makes His Solitary Way From
Alaska to tho Golden State.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 23.-Captain F.
Vehling has arrived here, the captain,
pilot and crew of the little steam launch
Kussiloff. from Alaska
Years ago the launch Kusiloff was sunk
off Karluk, Alaska. Vehling bought the
boat for a triling sum, and early this sea.
son, after providing her with schooner rig
ging, shipped crew and prepared for a
trading trip among the Indians
One day vehling allowed his men to go
ashore at Karluk. About noon q heavy
wind came up and the vessel broke her
cable and drifted out to sea- Vehling made
the best of the situation and steered the
boat out to sea. By dusk the Kussilof was
out of sight of land, and all that night the
wind blew gale.
Vehling stood bv the helm and scudded
under bare poles Next morning the wind
changed and blew him toward the San
Juan Archipelago. The captain saw it was
impossible to make Karluk and turned the
bow of the boat toward San Francisco.
At night Captain Vehling would shorten
sail bit, tie his rudder and go to sleep in
the cabin. He cooked his own meals,
manned his own boat and was king and
captain of all he looked upon. The Kussi-
loft proved herself an excellent sailor.
Early this morning Captain Vehling got
in sight of the Heads. He was not able,
however, to get his craft into the Golden
Gate. He signaled for help, and the
schooner Kodiak, which happened to be
coming in, took the Kussilof in tow and
brought her into the harbor, where she
anchored in the stream.

Notes Of the Field,

HEREAFTER disgraceful athletes will not
receive A. A. U. medals.
Polo is attracting considerable attention
in the East. As yet nothing has been heard
of the game in these parts.
THE Pittsburg A. e. is preparing for an
open meeting some time in September. 1t
will probably eclipse anything of the kind
ever held here.
IT is suggested that the A. A. U. should
make fair table OF Standard say the ham
mer at 80 feet and the 58pound weight at not
to exceed 20 feet, and that these standards
should not be changed for five years.
ATHLETIC clubs are now turning their at
tention to the encouragement of allaround
athletes. The trouble has been that the
championship In a single line has been too
much sought, at the expense of health. The
N. Y. A. e. is offering prizes Tor aIl-around
club contests and the Boston A. A. has
taken the same action.
II Yale and Harvard decide to go to the
Worlds Columbian Exposition to row the
pick Of the country they will find it the
hardest battle of their lives. There are any
number OF experienced sweephandlers who
think that Cornell University can turn out a
crew that will show the way to the blue and
crimson from start to finish. It's one thing
to row . match race on the Thames and
stnl another to meet the best production Of
the country.
