The San Francisco call., 1896-11-08

Captain "Dick' Nelson has relieved Cap
tain Englebrettsen on the schooner Lizzie
Prien and will take her out on her next
run " the Nehalem River. Captain Engle-
brettsen made two unusually long pass
ages to that point, and now Captain Nell
son is going TO see what he can do with
the vessel. News from the river is not
ENCOURAGING. The schooners Confianza,
Eureka, Arthur l and Theresa are bar
bound and have peen for some time. On
October 27 the tug on the river offered to
tow the Conhanza to sea, but the captain
refused to 60.
The tug went out herself, bound
for neigh hboring port, and has not been
heard from since. This is according to a
private letter received from Nehalem River
yesterday.
The old bark Marion was sold yesterday
by the United States Marshal to @. z.
Whitney for $1,000. When the rush to
miners up to Cooks Inlet, but on her re-
turn there was no money with which to
pay the crew. The men libeled the vessel
for $l5O0, but now that she has brought
such small sum they will be lucky if
they have $500 to divide among themselves
when all the expenses are paid.

clamoring. Especially on the 5:15 P. NJ.

been hurt IN the rush to get ashore at the
mole. Yesterday settees were placed on
| the main deck and gangway from The
! steamer to the shore was put into opera
ton, but still the Inconvenience was very
great. The FL Captain is one Of the fastest
boats Ill The company's service, but she Is
altogether too small for the morning and
afternoon traffic, and if the company
wants to avoid disaster or the filing OF a
complaint with the Inspectors OF Hulls
( and Boilers for overcrowding it will make
some change at once. What's the matter
with putting the Alameda IN commission
and letting her ana the Ell Captain do the
creek work and put the Encinal back on
the narrow-gauge route?
