far behind. The two apprentices could not
swim, and they were the first to throw up
their hands and disappear beneath the
cruel waves. The others struggled vio-
lently to reach the fragments of the life
boat, which had been smashed in its de-
scent, and they held up bravely until the
rescuing crew was within hailing distance,
when they, too, gave up the ghost and
sank to the bottom
Captain Wishart of the Sierra Parma
stood on the deck pale as death and
watched the unfortunates disappear one by
one. The accident was no fault OF his, but
the two apprentice-boys, who came from
good English families, were placed in his
care, and he thought, poor fellow, OF the
accounting he would have to give to their
heart-broken parents The boatswain was
the last man TO pay the penalty of his dis
obedience, and he lived long enough to see
the victims OF his carelessness go down to
their watery graves.
The Sierra Parma put into Milford
and new boat. An inquiry was held into
the accident and Captain Wishart and
those on board were exonerated, the blame
being laid to the unfortunate boatswain.
Captain Wlshart is reported to have been
feeling very badly when the vessel sailed
Tor Portland two days later.
such an 1nauspicious commencement of
a voyage would have depressed the spirits
OF the hardest mariner The captain is
very well known on this coast and is
highly esteemed for his worth and his
ability as navigator. The Sierra Parma
left here on August for Queenstown with
a cargo of grain. Another inquiry will be
held upon the vessels return to England.

SWEPT OFF SIERRA PARMA.
TWO SEAMEN AND TWO APPREN-
TICES DROWNED IN THE En-
GLISH CHANNEL.
THE LIFEBoAT LAsHINGs PARTED
AND THE MEN WENT Down
INTO THE SEA.

The British ship Sierra Parma, now on
her way from Liverpool for Portland, Or,
made bad start on her voyage. The first
day out she lost four men overheard and
one of her lifeboats was smashed to bits.
A brief dispatch to this effect was received
at the Merchants Exchange on the 18th
ult. A private letter, giving the particu-
lars of the tragic death of the men, reached
here yesterday. The unfortunate sailors
were thrown into the sea from the poop
deck and were drowned n broad daylight
before the eyes of their Mortified ship
mates, who were powerless to render them
any assistance.
The Sierra Parma towed out from Liver
pool on February Is, and the accident oc-
CURED while she was going down the
English Channel. The boats were swing
ing in the davis out from the poopdeck,
and orders had been given to take them in
The boatswain, an able seaman and two
apprentices were in one boat hanging out
over the sea. Contrary to the mates in
structions, the boatswain went to work on
the bow tackle. The mate yelled TO him
TO desist, but the warning came too late
for the next moment the lashings of the
lifeboat parted and the boat fell into the
sea, throwing all hands overheard.
Immediately orders were given to lower
another lifeboat, which was in readiness
to be launched; life-buoys were cast into
the water, but the efforts of the men to
save their comrades were unavailing.
Three minutes after the accident occurred,
a boat had been manned and launched but
by that time the struggling sailors were

ed the reputation of her dead chum, Oracle
Benjamin, was very indignant yesterday
that the BENEFITS should take exception to
what she had done. She said that Mrs.
Bennett and Mrs Nolan would have pub
lished the fact of the marriage if not
silenced by Meyer. The day after Sam
had told the papers that Grace had gone to
his lodgings to have q bath because her
aunt would charge her IS cents for one,"
she said, Il was at their house and Mrs.
Bennett and Mrs. Nolan decided to publish
the marriage They were very mad. Mrs
Nolan asked me to find out where the rec
ord could be found. | came home to get
the information, and when I got back Sam
Meyer was there and she had changed her
mind. She told me that her husband was
dying and she had not much money and
Sam had promised to look out for her.
That is what has silenced them all. They
told me that DR.. Nieto had advised her
that it would be worse for Grace's name if
the fact of the marriage was published.
The Coroner SAYS that he was unable to
find Sam for the inquest, but Sam told me
yesterday at Mrs. Benefits that the Coro-
ner had told him that if he would keep
quiet in his room and not let the officer in
he could avoid the summons"
Mrs. Holland, who was at the funeral of
Grace Benjamin. said that Mrs. Nolan said
there that Sam would have to pay for her
keeping quiet about the marriage of her
sister.
Mrs Bennett the aunt of Oracle Never
tnee Benjamin), now admits that her niece
was married to S. Meyer last August in
Oakland, and that she was aware of the
fact.
Admittance to the residence, 1911 Devils
adero street, was denied to all callers yes
terday by Mrs. Bennett. The death of her
niece has brought such notoriety to the
family that Mrs. Benjamin eyes suspiciously
every one calling at the house
Last night when asked if she was aware
that her niece had been married she said:
"Of course / know it. The CALI had it all
in this morning. Go read that and find
out all about it
Ibid you know of the marriage before
you read the CALL?'
"Of course l did. But that is nobody's
business. No, Mr.. Meyer has not been
here to-day. l don't know where he is"
AT 406 Suffer street Meyer could net be
found. although he still retains the rooms
his wife was accustomed to visit "Iknow
nothing about Mr.. Meyer" said Mr. Mar
getson, the agent of the building. "He had
only been here a couple of weeks, so am
not acquainted with him.
None of the help around the place had
seen him during the day, although his
room was occupied the night before

SAMUEL MEYER
WILL NOT TALK.
THE PUBLICATION OF THE FACT OF
HIS MARRIAGE DOES NOT
n I'VE HIM.
MOLLIE HOLLAND INDIGNANT.
Mrs. BENNETT ADMITS THAT SHE
KNEW OF GRACE BENJAMIN's
WEDDING.

Samuel Meyer makes no explanation of
his peculiar conduct in trying to disgrace
the name of his dead wife. He is keeping
out OF the way of the reporters. His efforts
to keep secret the fact of his marriage to
Grace Benjamin that he might get a share
of his mothers wealth have been futile,
thanks to his wifes loyal friend Mollie
Holland and the documentary evidence
in the Alameda Hall of Records.
Those who know him speak OF his want
OF application and inability to make of
himself useful member of society. He
has been the black sheep of a respected
family. His people took him away from
the university at the end of his first year,
because he was not able TO keep up with
his work A few years after his father
purchased the large dry-goods business of
L. D. Block & Co., in Oakland, for him
and his brother. but the boys did not sue
coed. Then they were started in the same
line in Tucson, but the brother Marcus,
on whom the most dependence was placed,
dying, the business was closed out Sam
uel was not success and his habits and
want of application have given his people
considerable worry. His dead wife S
friends say that he was married before,
that his people sent the first wife East,
that they were divorced and that Sam is
eften sending presents TO child of that
union.

good seasons fishing the old bark that now
raises seven or eight whales does WELL
The Stamboul continued to go in and out
OF New Bedford, sometimes getting into
Nantucket but whether swinging at an
Choir in the tide-riffs of Marthas Vine
yard or humping her stubby nose against
the bergs in Baffins Bay, she was enrich
ing her owners as sure as the goId-laden
galleys of Ophir enriched the wise king of
Judea
Sister ships with whom she had gamboled
-clumsily, because she was not nimble
craft-were laid away one by one under
the Arctic ice or tropic waves, but over the
oval of the ocean the Stamboul still went
fishing. She never ventured far into the
north, as she was slow-so slow that no
polar summer would have been long
enough to open the water and let
her out again, but she thinned out the fat
schools just the same. Whether angling
for the lighting sperm that cheWed boats
like sawmill, or the speedy right whale
that would tow the crew thirty miles
away from their vessel in almost as MANY
minutes, or the stupid bowhead that would
sink to the bottom when struck and try to
rub the ranking harpoon from its body,
she always succeeded. And when the
clocks in the church steeples on the Rhode
Island shore told the hour of her coming,
all the old superannuated blubber-hunters
OF Nantucket turned their watery eyes sea-
ward and roared like the below OF a
nor'west gale around a topsail. There

This greeting never failed to sraisen the

These home-comings of the whaler
were the examinations of the seasons
wherein Jack in the forecastle got his
'lay" of the catch and Mrs. Jack-Yankee-

four or five years of brevit widowhood.

MAY NOT SEND A FLOAT.
The Merchants Association Making
Slow Progress in Collecting
Needed Funds.

The committee on publicity and promo
ton of the Merchants Association, con-
sisting of Hugo D. Keil, Kenneth Melrose,
A. H. Vail and William Doxey, to whom
was referred the matter of sending a float
advertising the METROPOLIS to the Los An
geles fiesta, has made a partial canvass
among the business men of the city, but
owing to the lightness of the subscriptions
thus far offered the project hangs fire.
AS the committee decided to build the
float in proportion to the amount raised,
no work has as yet been done, and unless
the merchants of the city soon rally to the
support of the plan it will be abandoned.
Many of the business men, while &C
knowledging the idea to be worthy one,
are of the opinion that more benefits
would accrue if the business community
would donate literally for an old-time
Fourth of July celebration in this city,
with a competitive drill and prize bicycle
races as added attractions. This they as
sert their willingness to do provided the
disposition of the funds be placed solely in
the hands of the Merchants Association.
They are tired of seeing the funds wasted
and squabbled over by small-fry politicians
and incompetent underlings Of ward
bosses.
