cident took place out in the bay about 1880

b0atman who works for the Golden Gate
Market, went alongside the ship Thistle,
lying off Green street, and the strong tide
dashed the boat against the side Of the yes
sci with considerable violence; at the same
time big sea broke over the stern, filling
the boat, swapping and upsetting her. APP
ted clung for dear life TO the bow OF the
boat and shouted loudly for assistance. His
cries were heard by Boatswain Robert
Spear of the Washington Market, who was
near by at the time, and he at once went to
Apteds assistance and rescued him from his
dangerous position. After picking up the
man Spear turned his attention to the boat and
soon had her righted She was towed 10 tue
slip at the foot Of Clay street.
