ACCIDENTS AT SEA.

A Lecture to Students OF McNevln's
Navigation School.
Captain Morse, the veteran steamship
commander, lectured to the students of
McNevin's Pacific Coast Navigation
School, 404 Beale street, Friday evening. 1t
was really an informal talk upon what to
do at sea in case of accidents, and the
captain made his subject most interesting
from the fact that it was illustrated with
incidents in his own life on every ocean
in the globe. The remarks and instruc-
ton from the lecturer were listened to and
warmly applauded by the future nayi-
gators of the school.

men. He finally left the scene yowinp
vengeance at several of the men who
tried to quiet him, after striking Mr..
Roderick. On Sunday about noon,
John Murray and his brother Will,
met Doug Shelton in the Webb bar
room and had an alteration. Doug
was getting the worst of it, and start
ed to leave the hotel, when the Murrays
started after him. John Murray
clinched and struck Shelton as he was
going through the door, and the latter
turned and chased his assailant
through the Office and bar room, shoot
ing at him twice, but missing both
times Will Murray, who was close
behind c1inched Shelton and struck
him in the face several times, and
others. took the pistol away. The
Murray who was shot at1eaped through
a window, carrying glass and sash.
John Murray had warrant issued for
Shelton and at the preliminary hear
ing Monday both parties to the fracas
were bound over to appear before the
Superior Court. Warrants we're also
issued by the County Attorney for
John Murray, on complaint of VIM.
Banks, whose life had been threatened
and w. d. Roderick, whom Murray
struck at the dance. The trial was
heard before justice Dunbar Tuesday
and hurry was placed under bonds to
keep the peace for six months and to
pay all costs of suit. All this trouble
was caused by a man who could not
conduct himself properly, went to
dance, where, it is said, he was not in
vited. While we think man is not
justified in carrying arms, and Doug
Shelton should be prosecuted for that,
but a man who cannot avoid making
trouble at social gathering should
keep away.

THE EcL1PsE:-Fair Luna almost
hid her face Saturday night. Eight
and eight-tenths digits of her counten-
ance took refuge behind the earth's
shadow and only little rim OF copper
color peeked over the black arc of the
earth's reflection. The night was
pcloud1ess and never before here has an
eclipse been seen to better advantage.
When the moon passed into the
penumbra it was too early ia the even
ing for any appreciable change to be
noticed. but when, at o:15. the dead
black umbra Of the earth touched the
southern limb of the shining orb it
was like an ink blot and could not be
mistaken for cloud or mist. Slowly
the dark curved line of shadow crePt
upwards over the surface of the moon
until 10:47, when, just as slowly but
surely, light began to conquer dark
ness and the queen of night gradually
shook off the clinging earthly visitant.
At 1919 the moon was once more out
Of umbra and at 1877 cleared the mist
like guaze of the penumbra. The
eclipse lasted five hours and 81 min
utes.

The Old ssPolly's" Guns.

Half dozen old howitzers inglori-
ously mixed with scrap iron of al
descriptions on scow were towed te
Port Madison last Thursday by the
| tug Mystic. The ancient, rusted guns
formerly adorned the Russian gunboa'
Politkofsky, now used as ferry and
about which many newspaper roman
ces cluster. An auction of the truck
stored in the warehouse on the Flyer
dock was held about three weeks ago,
and the guns, together with aquantity
of other things, were sold to g. A
Meigs, of Port Madison. AS the scow
lay at the wharf the other day 1t was
surveyed by many water-fronters, and
various were the suggestions for the
use of the guns.
The Politkofsky, when the guns
formed her armament, was the sole
war ship Of the White Car by which
he kept in subsection his turbulent
native subjects in North America,
when Alaska was a porti on of the
Russian domain, and she was called on
for. service innumerable times. The
venerable battery, which now is but
heap of old junk, has in its time des-
troyed many a rebellious Indian vii
1age, and enabled the few Russian
masters to hold in subsection thous-
ands of war1ike natives in the Alas
kan peninsula.
The old Politk ofsky many years, ago
sunk from her high position as a war
vessel of the emperor and has since
been a peaceful tugboat. She was
turned over to the United States when
Alaska was purchased by this country,
and shortly afterwards was condemn
ed and sold, the Port Madison mill
owners being the purchasers. She
was brought down and dismantled.
Her armament went into the scrap
pile, and her old-fashioned copper
boilers were sold as old metal, bring
ing so it is said, more than the whole
amount paid for the vessel.
For many years the Polly, as
she was affectionately called by her
owners and officers, was the main de-
pendence of the mill companys for
towing logs from the various points
on the Sound to the mill, and the old
craft, built of Alaska cedar, as she
was, is still in commission and sound
as a dollar. The old guns were a
portion of the property of the Port
Madison Mill Company, and were sold
together with all the other property of
the company, by the United States
marshal under execution some weeks
since. Mr.. Meigs, as the former own
er of the mill property, probably had
some feeling of attachment to the old
relics, for he is reported to have been
the purchaser at the sale.-P.-I.
