resolution offered by Supervisor DundOn at the
last meeting OF the board providing for the ap-
poiutmenI of Miles Sullivan as lneman Of the

There was a little politics involved In
the matter, the result of fight In the

there were no vacancies at all.
Superintendent TOrpey of the Fire Alarm
Service said that owing TO the condition of his
funds he could not Tut on an extra man. He
said that the place made vacant by the Tesigna-
tion of Wolf had been filed by assigning J.

STORY OF A BOAT.
II Was Left Tied to Claw
Street Wharf.
1t Proved to Have Once Belonged to
the Bark Mary Lampson Wrecked
Last February.

A ships boat with history was found ii ed
10 the Clay-stTeet float yesterday morning by
Sergeant Mahoney of the North Harbor police.
Ii was the boat In which the first officer of the
wrecked bark Mary Lampson drifted about
for days after that vessel was wrecked on Pal
myIa Island in the South Seas in February of
last year.
Across the stern OF the little fabric are the
dim outlines OF the name MARY Lampson"
effaced by a coat of white paint, which Is
thmly laid on over the planks OF the craft
1t was last Man h when the schooner Martha
W. Tufts, inbound from Apia, came into port
bringing with her part Of the crew of the
Mary Lampson, whom she had picked up In
mdocean. On her decks was the boat which
was found ownerless yesterday morning at the
Clay-street wnarf.
No one ever knew what became OF the boat
after the Tufts reached san Francisco lint il is
schooner TO some local Doatman. If this boat
man lives in this city he did not keep his boat
anywhere along the water front, and the MEM
Orable little craft would never have been
thought of again, perhaps. but for a strange
coincidence. Close to where the boat was
mOored at the float on the latter were found
ninety fathoms OF inch and half cable, and
almost simultaneously with the finding OF the
hawser the skipper of tie British ship Drum
rock, which is lying at Lombard-street wharf,
reported TO the police that coil OF hawser had
been stolen from his vessel during the night
Patrick Kehoe, junkmap, drove up 10 Clay
street landing about O'CLOCK In the morning
ana proceeded 10 place the rope In his wagon.
He was arrested by Detective Egan and Ser.
geant Mahoney, who took him TO the North Har-
Dor station where lie informed the police that he
had bought the hawser from John Weaver and
+. A. Storey, members of the crew Of the
Drumrock. These men were then arrested.
The stolen property was evidently taken
from the DrumTock In the Lampson's boat, but
all the men taken into custody dlsclaimed any
knowledge of the latter. Where The boat has
been kept all these months and how ii came TO
be left tied 10 the wharf the night before is
mystery.
Tie wreck of the Mary Lampson was one OF
the most sensational events that had occurred
in years. Her captain, his wife and two chill
dren, together with five Of the crew, drilled
about the sea In an open boat for twenty-eight
days, and finally landed al Honolulu.

The child placed the saucer to the lips of his grandfather, who was a moment later in the throes of death. He had caused the drug to be prepared, pretending that he wansed it as deodorizer, but with the fixed purpose of committing suicide. He was one of the largest landowners in this part of the country.
