THE ROMULUS CASE.
The OiIer, johnson, Being Examined
for Smuggling.

Ever since the 9Th ult. a charge of smug-
Cling has been pending against Charles
Johnson, the oiler of the steam collier
Romulus, but at last his preliminary ex-
animation has been commenced before
Uni ted States Commissioner Heacock.
Hendrick Hendrickson was the iirst wit
ness to be questioned Hendrickson was
the boatman who was handling the oars
when Customs Inspectors Sprague and
Casey shot at the smugglers at the Oak
land mole early on the morning of Sep
tember s. Patterson, the man who jumped
over board at the time. has never been seen
since so far as can be learned. Inspector
c asey states that he fired twice at Patter-
son. Whether he hit him or not must re-
main mystery until the man turns up
either dead or alive.
Hendrickson's story is that day or two
before the attempt TO smuggle the six sacks
of opium-in all 500 five-tael tins. worth
about S450O-from the Romulus. Patterson
came to him at the Pacific Mail dock and
boat over to the ROmulus to get some
clothes and things" Hendrickson told
him 50 so.
"All right" said Patterson, "but," he
added, lit must be dark-in the night
time"
Patterson represented that he had had
some trouble with the engineer of the
steamer and he was afraid he would be ar
rested, therefore they could go over only
at night.
The negotiations settled Patterson went
away, and that gave Hendrickson, who
suspected something, chance to commu-
nicate with Police Officer Eagan of this
city.
Hendrickson, Johnson and Patterson
went over on the ferry at $50 O'Clock to
reconn otter, and returned TO the Clay
street wharf. johnson then left them and
HendrlcksOn went to the Pacific Mail dock,
accompanied by Patterson, and appropri-
ated boatibelonging to Thomas Atkinson.
When they reached the Romulus johnson
was there on deck. Patterson was then il the
PROV of the boat. AT the port gate of the
ship there were two sacks hanging down
over the vessels side. These were taken
care Of, and two more followed, then two
more. Hendrickson heard johnson call
out from the deck Of the Romulus to Pat
terson: whats the matter there?" Pat
terson answered, II can't reach the sacks"
They then rOwed away from the ship. and
the customs officers called out to them to
stop. and fired several shots, Patterson
going overheard and swimming toward
the bow OF the Romulus. The officers cap-
tuIed Hendrickson with the opium.
Inspector Casey testified to having
emptled his weapon at the men. Further
testimony will be heard to-day.

Johnston actually shed tears when he
learned that the days of his favorite
steamer were numbered.
"Can you explain how the New York
went on the Tocks?" was asked of her
commander.
Perhaps j might, but l am not at
liberty to do so," he answered. You see.
am not in position 10 talk. / must not
say anything about the vessels loss until
the official inves tigation."
WAS Pilot johnson IN full command
when you went ashore?"
II must positively refuse to talk about
the wreck. / would gladly give you all
the information in my power. but cannot
do so yet"
Due credit was not given the Fort Point
llte-saylng crew for the assistance rendered
BY It, Its members stayed by the New
n ork all OF Thursday night and did not
go on duty until about o'clock yesterday
morning.
Wrecking machinery and an additional
force OF men arrived at the New YORK at
about IL o'clock yesterday morning. Very
little actual work was done in the fore
noon, however. beyond getting the appara-
tus in position.
A partial examiD alton was made of the
yesseps side and bottom where il is pene-
fratea by the rocks, and the conclus sion
was reached that the damage Is greatest

difficult part OF the ships hold to reach.

Bonita, and none are more familiar with
its set than Henry Peterson. the we'll
known oarsmaD, who has sailed White
hall boats about the bay for many years.
"The disaster was no doubt due to an
eddy which Pilot j ohns on made no calcula-
tion Of" said Peterson.
"When the tide is going out there exists
a very strong eddy over toward the north
shore.
johnson must have made the Lime
Point buoy all right and hauled the steamer
off to the southwark. An eddy makes
from Lime Point to the Whales Head and
from the Whales Head down to Point
Bonita. The steamers bow must have
been caught by this current, which is
every bit as strong as the ebb tide. 1t set
her inshore.
''If the ship had been going at full speed
the eddy would not have affected her,"
The latest news from the wreck last
night was that Captain Whitelaw still
the steamer should the weather remain
calm. The work of removing the cargo
will be resumed to-day.
Every one who was able to take an hour
or two yesterday from his routine duties
seized the opportunity to visit points of
vantage whence the stranded steamer off
Point Bonita might be overlooked.
Some hied them across the bay with the
purpose of securing conveyances or walk
Ing to the scene of the disaster. But the
great majority could only spare time to run
out to the Cliff House. and. with ordinary
luck, expected to be able to grasp great
deal of the situation en- route at long range.
But the Cliff House visitors. unless they
emulated the early bird or the still earlier
worm. were destined to disappointment.

After considerable search q CALL re-
porter found Pilot johnson ut the resi-
dence of Captain Charles Goodall, on the
corner of McAllister and Pierce streets.
At first johnson declined to see the re-
porter, intimating through the servant
who answered the bell that he was physi-
cally unable to do so. Calling at a later
hour an interview was finally obtained,
and Pilot Johnson gave his story of now
the wreck occurred.
When we left the Pacific Mail dock it
was not so very foggy," he commenced
II kept close in to the city docks until
Meiggs wharf was reached, and from there
started to pass out.
1--WE entered the fog bank q few minutes
later and headed for the north heads. We
were not going very last. for the fog was
very thick. 1t was undoubtedly the tide
that swung us in. and, owing to mis-
judgment of our distance from the point
because of the muffied sound of the fog

culated for.
1.-THE siren had a strange blast to my
ears. 1t did not seem natural, but seemed
to be long distance off.
"Were we making four knots? Yes
more than that / think, but then we were
not going fast by any means.

At $50 o'clock last evening. however.
the tug Rescue and the wrecking steamer
Whitelaw were taking the cargo out of
the New York as rapidly as possible. and
the report was brought ashore that there
was not much Likelihood of getting the
steamer off during the night. The vessels
mainmast had started several inches and
had a tendency to tear loose from its step.
An additional force of men was put to
work to rush the cargo out of the upper
hold
All day long yesterday the one question
of peculiar interest along the water front
was Where is Pilot Jobnson?" On the
evening of the disaster he came to this
city on one Of the first tugs that left the
ship, and up to late hour last evening no
trace of him could be found.
Whether or not Pilot johnson was guilty
of carelessness was a discussion always
open for argument among the shippers,
and the preponderance of opinion was
vastly in favor of the pilot having allowed
himself to become careless because Of MS
many wears of successful manipulation Of
the wheel.
On Change expressions of opinion were
by no means kept secret. Nautical men
were inclined to think that Captain John
son ought not to have gone out while it
was so foggy, and none could understand
how it was that the pilot did not hear the
warning blasts of the fog siren on the
point.
At the Pilot Commissioners Office it was
given out that Pilot johnson had not re-
ported, and, also, that he was suspended
until an investigation could be held, as is
customary 10 such cases.
Not soul appeared to inhabit the pilots

it better for me to do my talking before
the inspectors.
1.-THE wreck of the New York was one
of those fatalities that so often visit men
and things, and one can hardly tell how
they happen or account for the causes that
lead up to their occurrence"
"Then you think the tide carried you in
and you lost your position in the fog?"
"Yes, we drfted in," replied the pilot.
and then he bade the reporter go od-
nignt."
Boatmen along the front reaped rich
reward by standing by the wreck and
dredging for sacks of flour which had been
thrown overheard. A fleet of Italian fish
ing boats returned to the city early in the
day we'll loaded down with spOlls.
Flour when wet simply soaks to the
depth of about an inch in the sack. leav-
ing the bulk of the contents untalnted.

all the lifeboats were lying in the blight

That was before 8 80 A. NJ. At that hour
heavy fog arose and obscured the, inter-
esting vision with its fieecy provoking
wreaths. The fog lay upon the water like
a w0olen quilt, so that the tops Of the hills
beyond were clearly visible above it and it
seemed that the sun in its strength or

ashore, and the work Of stripping her will
probably be next considered.
The majority of tugboat captains and
seafarng men generally seem to be of the
opinion that the New York can never be
foated again, and that the best plan to
pursue would be to wreck her Immediately
before she goes to pieces. Captain White
law thinks differently. or at least he
thought differently yesterday morning
Although he would not say definitely
whether he thought be could save the ship
be said there was a chance OF raising her
sufficiently to patch her up temporarily.
Everything depends upon the weather"
said the captain. 'If that continues as it
is now then we have good reason to hope
for success"
Captain Whitelaw's success in raising
the British ship Clan Mackenzie. which
was sunk by the steamer Oregon in the
Columbia River about three years ago,
has earned for him quite a reputation for
raising badly damaged vessels.
