composed of Leon Bluhm of Roth, Bluhm
& Co., w. Talbot of Pope & Talbot, and
George E. Billings of Hall Bros. has been
appointed TO look into the standing of the
concern.
A meeting was held yesterday. but the
expert could MAKE no report as the ac-
counts are in such tangle that he finds
great difficulty in unraveling them. About
the only thing done during the DAY was
the appointing of Charles Nelson 10 the
agency for the bark CoTusa and barkentine
Mary Winkleman.
In connection with the cashing of an $50
check by Gus Gerdau. as stated in yester-
days CALL, there was a mistake made.
Mr.. Gerdau says that he has honored
thousands of checks drawn by George f.
Smith & Co. and never knew one of them
to be dishonored. According to him the
story originated as joke.
The old-time ship Glory of the Seas got
in from Nanaimo, B. c., yesterday after a
smart passage of fourteen days. She was
caught in the southeasters that damaged
the other vessels that have been dropping
in for a week past and was roughly
handled. Fifty feet of her bulwarks was
carried away, her cargo shifted and one of
the crew was washed overheard. 1t was
about IL o'clock on the night preceding
dirty weather and Captain Freeman
ordered four men out on the bowsprit to
secure the jib. A big wave came along
and when it had passed there were only
three men on the bowspri. Thomas Dick
son had been washed away. He was a
native of Ireland and well known on the
water 'front.' This was the fourth round
voyage he had made on the Glory of the
Seas.
The italian man-of-war Cristoforo Co.
Iombo is daily expected from Puget Sound
and the Italian colony here is all ready to
give her right royal welcome. Many of
the crew have relatives and friends in San
Francisco. so the stay of everybody con-
nected with the ship is sure to be eniov-
able. Among the officers is Lieutenant Et-
tore Frigerio, second aid-de-camp to Prince
Luigi of Savoy who is also lieutenant on
the vessel. Lieutenant frigerio is we'll
known in San francisco and his friends
will be glad to meet him again.
