Mission Bay. once populated by big
fleet of deep-water ships, is beginning 10
look deserted, and the north side Of The
barber has suddenly filed up with ships
that are waiting to dock. Two vessels Of
the fleet, however, Will sail to-day, and
race for Queenstown is announced. The
ship Oiterburn got away Monday. The
Traveller departed last Sunday, and it is
expected that they, TOO, Will attempt to be
first to be reported at the home port. -Four
big vessels sailing so nearly at the same
time Will naturally attract great deal OF
interest There is no money at stake. but
still some may change hands before Eng
land is reached. The EudOra has good
record and ought to be winner She ar
rived here in March last from Swansea,
after trip OF ninety-nine days, which is
an exceptional record, beaten but once la
the past five years.
Captain Ogilvie, present commander of
the vessel, has been with her for number
Of years, and is known to be good man
TO push vessel through. Waier-frOnters
seem to think that the EudOTa will get
through first and the O;teTburn second, al
though great many mariners are willing
10 wager that the latter is a sure winner.

her way here from Peru.
During the voyage of the UmatiIla to
port from Victoria, E. II. Beck and Doug

the Ulcers of the steamer a great deal OF
trouble. 1t is claimed that Beck tried 10
shoot bis comrade with a Smith e Wesson
revolver when the vessel was leaving Port
Townsend. The two scuffled about in
their stateroom, creating much disturb
