Marine Notes.

There was quite little excitement Gre
atsd at the Pacific Mail dock yesterday
afternoon just before the steamer Rio
Japeiro sailed for the Orient. Rum0rS
were afioat that Miss May Carroll OF this
city would make an attempt to elope with
the freight clerk of the vessel. but beyond
few tears shed and the angry words OF a
near relation of Miss Carroll, Mr..
Pentworthy, the fair maiden did not create
much disturbance by her actions.
About ten minutes before the steamer
left the dock Pentworthy came dashlng
down to the wharf and informed Corporal
Cockrll of the Harbor police that Miss
Carroll was hid away on board the ship
Cockrill went on board and found the
young lady pleading with her lover, and
persuaded her to come ashore, when sne
did reluctantly.
1t was explained that the girl, who is
not bad looking and quite young, ad
taken a great fancy to the freight clerk,
but that the fancy was not altogether re-
ciproeated. Mr.. Pentw orthy led his charge
away and peace was restored.
The Rio Janeiro took out over 100 tons
of wheat for China. This is the first ship
ment of wheat that has been made to that
country in a Mail steamer.
The Gaelic arrived In the morning with
a'smail passenger list and a fair amount OF
freight. In the steorage were a number of
Chinese, but only seven Japs. Forty-nine
of the former were for tins city, twenty
seven for Havana and ten for Panama.
Among the cabin passengers were An
tonic d'Olveir, Portuguese Direc or OF the
Strait Settlement, and G. de Silva. en-
route TO New York.
Investigations are still going on at the
Pacific Mail dock relative TO the stolen
freight that has ben missing from time o
time for some months. The Mail Company
is very secretive about its actions, and for
that reason 1t has been brought before the
public so often, when as matter of fact
the discharge OF few clerks and watch
men is matter of no general public in
terest. 1t is the mysteries that make good
stories, because when the rublic sees a
cOnundrum it is human nature TO COM
mence guessing.
1t is useless for agents of the Pacific
Mail to be quoted as saying that there is
nothing in the story; that freight and
other articles were not missed. The mat
ter was reported 10 the proper authorities,
and all the necessary proof is Ia their
hands.
1t is believed that several more old en-
ployes will have to be removed TO make
way for prizefghters and other agile gen.
tlemeu who have the advantage OF not
having to wear spectacles.
The schooner Carrier Dove arrived from
Karluk the day before yesterday, with a
load of salmon for the Alaska Packers
Association. On the way down, accord
ing to the report of one of the ships off,
GERS, 1900 barrels Of salmon that conssi-
tuted the ve>Sefs deckl load, were washed
overheard. Some of the casks had to be
iettisoned, because they were rolling about
the decks dangerously aud might have
hurt some of the crew. The loss will
amount to several thousand dollars.
Captain Dunlevy, Chief Crowley and
Supervisor Kennedy were inspecting the
new quarters for the central waterfront
police station at 80 Sacramento street YES
terday. Plans have been arranged for
the quarters and will be submitted to the
Board of Supervisors at their next meet
ing.
Captain Dunleyy resumed charge of
the North Harbor station yesterday after
his long absence as chief of the China
Town squad. Captain Dunlevy is one of
the most competent men who has ever
had charge of the water front patro.. No
force of police in the city is more efficient
than that along the front, and no man is
recognized as more competent to attend to
the duties of the Harbor station than the
captain.
Sergeant Gillen, who was temporarily in
charge of the North HarDor police, has
been sent into Chinatown to relieve Dun
levy. During his brief stay on the front
the sergeant made many friends, il ALWAYS
being his aim to be courteous and fair with
everybody. The water frontiers wish him
good luck and lots of raids" in his new
OOSiilOn.
