AT The inquiry yesterday at Victoria,
B. c., before THE agent of THE marine
and fisheries department, as to the
grounding of the steamship Warimoo, 1t
was developed lthe Captain Arundel was
using an incorrect chart, several years
out of date, which, 1T is believed. was as
much of the cause of tha accident as tine
fog. It was shown that alt the time the
vessel Struck she was on her proper
course according to THE worthless chart
in use.
The navy department at Washington
has received informa ton that the French
government, impressed with the recent
magnificent performance of the cruiser
Columbia, has ordered uhe immediate
construction of two vessels as nearly
duplicates of our famous little flyer as
possible. This is good news And it is
as convincing vindicauion Of the Column
bia as could be desired. Foreign nations
evidently appreciate the worth Of cruisers
of the Columbia tyre, ev'n ir fhe face
of the tiscounung uh'er Gc.s of some
of the American ner"'0' els on the con-
cluslon of her ias; gre. run.
Yesberd1y mrning says the Examiner,
David Hatch, a colored sailor on the |
brig Galilee, which arrived from Tahiti |
attempted to asrauit Mate Anderson with |
a big knife. During the passage of the |
vessel up from the islands Hatch ran |
things to cu1t himself and walked the |
deck looking for war. When the brig |
docked he was told to leave. He did, |
but becama Intoxicated ashore and re-
turned to the vessel with his butcher |
knife and ran amuck around the deck. |
The mate and crew took to tlhla rigging |
and Hatch was in command until Police
Officer Callahan arrested him. He was
taken to the police station and charged
with an assault with a deadly weapon,
Hatch was onca an pEnderstudy of Pugil-
i5t Hail, and is a despsrIte fighter as
a big powerful feIlow.
