One of the life buoys of the miss

The brig John D. Spreckels, which
arrived recently from Kahului with
cargo of 1898 baskets of sugar,
had a narrow escape from being
wrecked near Point Diablo on the
Marin coast. While sailing into
port the wind went down and a
calm fell upon the water. The brig
drifted on an ebb tide, with 'no
bottom" for the anchors to hold,
close ON to the rocky shore. Luck
lily the Italian Fishing Company's
two steamers Golden Gate and
Farragut, bound for brakes bay,
came along. Captain Christensen
of the brig, it is claimed, did not
stand upon the ceremony of max
ing a bargain for tow, but threw
the Golden Gate line. The little
steamer was not sufficiently power
full to handle the brig in the tide
rip and whistled for the Farragut.
Together the two steamers towed
the brig out of danger and to safe
anchorage off Folsom street pier.
A. Paladini, the managing owner OF
the steamers, will claim about
$4,000 as salvage for saving the
brig and her valuable cargo. About
a year ago the brig got into a SINH
lar predicament and was rescued
by the steamer Farragut.
