castle, Australia, was in company with the
ship PoltoEIoch when the latter was so
damaged by a gale off the Australian
coast that she had to return to port for re-
pairs. The story of the Poltolloch has
been published. The ST. Enoch made
report yesterday that showed that she had
rough time of it in the same blow that
damaged the collier with the queer name.
: The St Enc bad weathered the storm
without suffering much, but: on the day
following the SOU wester her halyards
were badly tangled and needed attention.
Constantly: seas: were breaking over the
vessels decks, although: the: wind had
died out. The ropes were washed off the
-belaying-pins. and the: crew was set. to
coil them. !: -:
The CAPTAIN warned. his seamen from
the poop deck to keep a lookout for heavy
waves: Twice he shouted to his third off
Ger and to Lewis Dennis, a seaman. to be
pre- pared for any sudden rush Of water. !. /
Dennis answered, 'All right. captain,
we will hold on but the words: were
scarcely out OF his mouth when a. sea
broke over: the rail Dennis was caught
inthe surge and swept over the bulwarks
and lost. The third mate was struck down
and badly injured and three seamen were
thrown against the poop and hurt severe
~. It was seve raj weeks before the Off.
Ger could report for duty. -

The tug Fearless has returned from: the
scene: of the wreck of the steamer Crown
of England. Captain Haskell says that
Captain Metcalfe. Llovd's surveyor, will
not be here until to-day. Haskell believes
that there is no hope: of getting the Crown
off as she is almost high and dry at low
tide. The: steamer did not strike the rocks
bow oD. but apparently drifted onto a
ledge broadsde.+ The tides ebb and flow
through the breaks In her biIges. and it
would be impossibleto pump her out
The heavy fog DELAYED business on the
bay Yesterday. Thesteamer Sausalito on
her s 40 trip: from .Sausalito. ran into the
Oakland ferry slip by mStake.. She
wasted several minutes backing out AND
making landing. The steamer WaEla
Walla did not get away from the Broad
way dock until 1915. Captain Wallace,
her commander, remem bered we'll that.it
was just such a morning that the City of
Chester went down in collision when he
was in the :pfot-house.

day to ."Nick"' Blchard for: S715. MT.
Bichard thinks she can be made pretty
good vessel yet with a few repairs -.
The new vegetable marker on Sansome
and Pacific streets was leased originally to.
company consisting of a number OF
vegeta e-dealer'. Yesterday the four COR
ners of the building, which are fitted to
be used as restaurants or saloons, were
auctioped to the highest bidders Steve
.Sauguinetti, the VIII olesale fsh-dealer, and
L. Iuchetti, The restaurant man, secured
two of the choicest corners for S240 and
$3.50 respectively. The other stores we're
leased for $1S0:apiece. In nearly every ia
STAGE the bidders bid against themselves,
not understanding the ways of the auc-
tloneer. The total rent~for the four places
amounts to $3.50, which nearly pays the
amount ofihe lease for the whole struc-
ture. The vegetable men have good
thing. So.
