Thomas Hutchinson, Just Out of San
Quentin, Got Away on the
Alameda.

The last of the English feet will get
away from Sausalito in few days. Less
than six weeks ago fourteen of the Brit
ishers were tied up in Richardson's Bay,
and not a soul knew when a charter-party
would arrive. Now no one knows when
the residents of Sausalito will see similar
number of ships tied up opposite the most
picturesque spot in the bay of San Fran
cisco.
OF all the popular shippers who came to
San francisco Captain Latta of the Lau-
riston is one of the best liked. His vessel
arrived here on July 26 last, and after dis
charging had to go out of commission, as
no one wanted toload her. She was taken
to Sausalito and there joined the olsen
gagged feet. One after another the others
were chartered and, loading wheat, got
away for Europe. The Lauriston was left
alone at her anch orage. Finally Latta Sc
cured charter, and he is now preparing
to leave Richardson's Bay to load wheat
for Europe.
Quite a number of entertainments were
held on the ships while they were laid up,
and the various charities in Sausa1ito will
suffer on account of their departure. The
Lauriston, the last of the feet, will leave
wheat for the United Kingdom.
When the Monowai sailed last month to
Australia, Thomas Hutchinson was pas
senger in the steerage. He had been con-
victed Of grand larceny and was sentenced
to life imprisonment. Later, woman,
who thought she was dying, confessed
that she, and not Hutchinson, had robbed
the sailor whom the convict was accused
of having relieved of all his spare ash.
The matter was referred to Governor
Budd, and he pardoned young Hutchin-
son. He was put aboard the Monowai
but got drunk and wandered away. He
missed his ship and was rearrested. Y es-
terday Warden Hale put him aboard him
self and put three of his deputies on
watch to see that the young man did not
make another outbreak. When the Ala
media sailed Hutchinson was seated on
pile of lumber and gratefully waved an
adieu to Detective Stilwell and half
dozen others who had aided in securing
his release.
Hundreds of tons of cargo was left be-
hind, but among that taken away, strange
to say, was 100 tons of bicycles. The
latter secured the first call by being first
on the ground, and canned goods were
left behind because the vessel was full
when they arrived.
The schooner Ivy sailed again last
night. Captain Murchison, late OF the
Fannie Adele. went out as master in place
of Captain Holland, who was lost over
board.
a whale was seen in the bay yesterday.
The mammal sported around the steamers
T. G. Walker, City of Stockton and Sunol
and made friends with the Three Broth
ers. The chances are that he will disport
himself in the bay to-day and passengers
en- the Tiburon and Sausalito ferries will
have good view of the leviathan while
in motion.
The Alert started last night with the
schooner Volant in tow for the wreck of
the Colombia. Four of the steamers
boilers have been taken out and landed in
San Francisco and two more have been
take them aboard and bring them to San
Francisco. Then the work OF breaking
up the hull will begin.
The German bark Rohilla, Captain
Hoyer, sails to-day for Noyo TO load red
wood for London. The Asset loaded at
the same port, and these are the only two
vessels that have ever taken redwood to
Europe from Noyo direct. Redwood lum-
Der is much in demand in the English
market Just now.
A. e. Pryor of Piper.Aden- Goodall
Company, came back from Vallejo yester-
day. He says that as the Southern Pacific
Is keeping spoilers at work on their boats
they intend putting spoilers on the rail-
roads trains and transports. Lively times
should follow around Washington and
Mission street wharves. The Southern
Pacific rate by train to Vallejo is 81, and
by steamer 25 cents. Piper
Company are carrying all and sundry. on
the Sunol at 10 cents. Hence the trouble
To-day Pryor will pose as spotter on the
steamer Herald.
The schooner Premier and the bark
Harry Morse both got in from the can
neries yesterday. The former reports the
death of three Chinese during the trip.
No report was made from the Harry
Morse, and the vessel was not allowed to
dock, pending an investigation. Just what
Is the matter remains TO be seen, but the
chances are that all the Chinese who died
