Seldom do the annals of the sea chronicle
collision between any of the mighty
monsters whose homo it is and the ves-
sells whose pathway is upon it. Such an
event is given . distinguished place In
marine history, and the fame of being iden-
tilted with so remarkable an adventure
belongs to the few. Hence it is that
the recent experience Of the Victoria
schooner Mermaid, now repairing
damages in Yokohama, possesses more
than ordinary interest. The Mermaid,
Capt. Whiteley, left here some months ago
to try her luck among the seals off the
Japanese coast. She had an uneventful
passage across. took supplies at Y Yokohama
and left for the sealing groun ds on April 1,
with everything shipshape on board. On
April 20 she returned to port seriously
disabled. The strange adventures that be-
fell her in the intervening period are told
in letter from the master to her owner
J. Stevenson. written at Yokohama on
April 20 and received this morning. The
captain writes:

by the United States marshal and lodged

negroes Of the crew are also in Jail as
witnesses.
From all that can be learned from the
witnesses or prisoners the trouble was
merely insubordination after the vessel had
been beached. The crew had been work
ing at bailing for forty-eight hours till
some of them fell OFF the ladder through
weariness. After the vessel was aground
and the men had gone asleep, the captain
ordered them out to do more bailing and
some of them refused to turn out.

A 0YsTEM OF COUNTY mann
A Meeting at Whatcem 60 Csnsidsr the
Question.

WHArcox. May Especial. IA public
meeting for the discussion of WAYS and
means for the construction of q system of
county roads, called through the efforts of
J. Hannum Jones. of the Nooksack Re.
porter. was held today at the Knights of
Pythias hall. The attendance was not as
large as it was hoped it might be, but il
included considerable number of the
leading citizens of the county. L. l.. Gray,
Oh Samish, was chosen chairman and ].
Ii. Jones, secretary. While but little was
actually accomplished by the meeting.
the new road law was discussed and the
intentions of the board of county commits
sioners were clearly set forth by Chairman
Gillette.
He explained that the new law Is an abb
so!ute bar to the issuance of bonds for
road purposes in this county at present.
as the ~ per cent. limit of indebtedness
established has already been exceeded.
he advised that an effort be made to have
this limit increased by the next legisla-
ture. and that meanwhile the county pro-
ceed with the construction Of roads as far
IS possible under the second of the four
ways provided by the Donahue law. The
commissioners have practically decided to
raise the funds with which to begin work
on the three trunk lines by levying direct
tax of mills for road purposes this fail.
On the present assessed valuation about
$4,000 would be realized in this way. He
further advised that as soon as the county
can raise the necessary funds by bonding.
sufficient amounts be loaned to the several
road districts, to be paid back into the
general road fund within ten years, to adj
init of the completion of the most impor-
tant trunk lines in 1895
According to his calculation, an ade-
quate system of county roads would COM
prise 100 miles, which he thinks could be
built for $2oo.0o0. One-third of the cost
would be paid from the general road fund
and the remainder by the cities. road dis
tricts and property directly benefited. In
the event of bonding, the commissioners
will advise that sinking fund be created
to pay off the Indebtedness after ten years.
at the rate of 10 per cent year.
