Wants Companion TIL. Year.

The Hermit of the Sonnblick," Peter
Lechner, who last year passed the WIN.
ter months in the observatory on the
summit OF that lonely peak, now de-
clares that he will not stay there an
other winter unless he has a companion
with him. He would, he says, prefer
wife, If he could find one. Otherwise
he will be content with male compa1l-
Ion, who could take turns with him IN
his constant task OF reading the scien-
tific instruments. This decision on the
part Of the Hermit OF the Sonnblickr
really threatens the further existence of
the highest observatory in Europe. For
Che Austrian Meteorological institute
lacks the funds to support q companion
for Lechner. and the small sum, about
el00 year, that is wanted for the pur-
pose is not forthcoming from private
sources.
1t is believed that the real explanation
of the discomfort of Herr Lechner is that
he is annoyed at being forgotten by the
public, who have neither sent him
Christmas presents nor published lauda-
tory paragraphs about him in the news
papers of late. Three years back he
said he wanted a wife, and hundreds Of
offers at once poured in from all quar-
tiers, including several rich and many
good looking women, but he then
laughed at the idea, and continued to
prefer the state of single blessedness. II
would be distinct loss to meteorologi-
cal and physical science if the Sonnblick
observatory were to be closed, but some
means will probably be found of recon.

Another Vessel Reports Sighting the
Strange Wreck or the Coast.

PoRr TOWNSEND, Feb. 14,-TSpecial l.
The ship Detroit, which was reported in
last nights San Francisco dispatches as
probably being the derelict that was
sighted off Cape Flattery, arrived in Ma
naimo this morning. Every vessel in bal
last that is due to arrive in Puget sound
has come into port, and the mystery sur
rounding the dereict is deeper than ever
The bark Mormon arrived today and re-
ported passing the wreck Of an unknown
vessel. keel up. twenty-five miles south
west of Cape Flattery on the 9Th inst.
The weather was very rough and the Mer-
mon was unable to approach very close to
make an examination. Just before sight
ing the wreck the Mormon passed through
large amount of new lumber
from :wo 20 tour inches thick and
.ery long. This information conveys the
idea, which has gained considerable ere
dence, that the upturned vessel is the
bark Coalitz. which sailed from Port
Gamble on January 81 with very heavy
deck load OF lumber. Just after the Cow
li,z sailed for san Francisco exceptionally
stormy weather Was experienced OIL the
cape by incoming vessels.
Several OF the tugs have cruised as far as
sixty miles from the cape and were unable
to lind the wreck or any drift lumber.

SAID that he would remain until he found

Ship Arrives From Brazil After . Long
Voyage With seamen Ill.
PoRr TOWNSEND, Feb. 14.-(Special.l-
One of the longest passages ever recorded
between a Brazilian port and Puget sound
was terminated this morning by the ar
rival of the British ship st. Monan from
Santos. Brazil. The vessel sailed on
August II, $50 days ago, in ballast for this
port, under charter to Balfour. Guthrie e.
Co., to load grain at Tacoma for Europe.
The charter expired by limitation on De-
cember 81.
The st. Monan had a quick passage to
Cape Horn, where she encountered a sue
cession Of heavy gales. She was eighty
two days getting around the Horn. From
there to Cape Flattery head winds were
met with. and the progress of the vessel
was very slow. About the time the
equator was crossed the ships provisions
run very low and the crew was at
tackled with scurvy on November l.
One seaman died and three others
were seriously i'll. The captain decided to
run into San Francisco for fresh supplies,
when he met the ship Clan Mcpherson
outward bound. From the latter vessel
some fresh vegetables were procured and
the voyage continued. The st. Monan
was fourteen days off Cape Flattery. where
fearful storms were encountered. She lost
lifeboat from the forward hatch and a
number Of sails, besides sustaining other
damage.
On her arrival in this port this morning
the crew had about recovered from the
scurvy and the men were in good health.
While the vessel was Off Cape Horn a
seaman who was perched upon the rail ac-
cidently fell overheard and drowned.

view today, he said:

We shall know IL the winter wheat will yield a
good average. and IL 1t does. there is no chance
for much of change. Prices stiffened up q

damage to the winter wheat in the East, but
such fluctuations can be but merely temporary.

fully twice what IL was one year ago. This fact
alone will prevent any great amount OF spscula-
ton. So far the indications good in most
instances for an.average winter crop
Mr.. Kershaw says the vessel tonnage now
disengaged in the harbor of San Francisco
aggregates Loo, 900 tons. This is equivalent
to about forty average ships. On this sig
nifcant point he said:
Hereafter. no doubt. many of the vessels now
laid up at San Francisco will take cargoss from
Puget sound, because. while they can now de-
they can gel q shillings and pence up here.
The situation is decidedly in favor of the Sound.
The difference in charters between the two cities
ought not TO be over shilings, but it il kept up
to shiiIings at present When charters get be-
low 30 shillings vessel owners can afford to tie
up rather than go to sea. The last two or three
vessels that cleared from here with wheat &C.
cepsed q shillings and pence. That was the
very best they could do. II it were not for the
TACT these charters we're gotten so low, wheat
would not be worth as much IS it is here now.

to the foreign market il IL not worth that SUM.
At the present charter rates it costs only
tritle more per bushel to carry wheat
from Tacoma to Liverpool than it does
