CAPTAIN NULLET's STORY ABOUT
SAN NICOLAS ISLAND.
He Asserts That His Story About the
Phenomena fs True, and That
the Harbor Is Full
OF Sand.

Last evening Capt. James R. Mullett,
whose statements relative to the earth
quake disturbances at San Nicolas ISL
and last week, 1have beensattributed to
the workings iofs o. vivid inn magination,
called at the HERALD of1ice.Fiia d
1t will be remembered that he was in
charge of the 70 steamer Jennie Griffin,
which was in the service of a fish com.
pany, and returned to San Diego with
the statement that by reason of earth
quakes on the island the harbor was
filled up and the craw6sh all disap.
peared.
Capt. Mullett asserted that his story
is true and that he can be corroborsted
by 13 or IA men who were with him.
"You ought to investigate this mat
ter" said the energetic captain. ''It
will no doubt be investigated by the
United States government and scientists
in time. Such an event is worth it.
1t was tidal wave, accompanied by
earthquake shocks. The island is par
italy submerged, and that harbor is
wiped out. 1t was filled up by the sand
rolling in"
The captain appeared to be ready to
take up the cudgels with any one who
disputes the accuracy of his account oil
