Was Put on an Even Keel by
the Wrecking Steamer
WhitelaW.
IS NOT VERY BADLY DAMAGED.
Holes in the Hull Will Be Patched
With Canvass and the Vessel
Pumped Out.

After many delays the steam schooner
Point Arena finally reached port yesterday
in tow of the steamer South Coast. She
was run alongside of the wrecker White
law and the work of righting her was at
once begun. The derricks on the wrecker
were got INTO position and it was not long
before the steam schooner was almost on
an even keel. Divers were then sent down
to locate the damage and later they nailed
canvas on the holes, and'to-day the work
OF pumping her out will begin.
The Whitelaw is one of the finest wreck
ing vessels in America, and although she
has not yet had her trial trip, Captain
T. P. 81. Whitelaw considered her fully
able to handle the disabled vessel. Steam
was got on the boilers and in few min
utes things were working as smoothly as
though the wrecker had been at work for
months. Cables were placed under the
steam schooner and it was not long before
she was on an even keel.
The real hard work then began, and that
consisted of discovering the damage to the
hull. The following divers were employed: !:
E. 81. Dolph, Peter Void, Walter Page,
Tom Tucker and Chris Johnson. The
mailing of canvas over the holes in the
bottom of the vessel took some time, and
The San Francisco call., 1896-04-23

the coming and going of the divers drew
large crowd to section of the seawall.
They watched the screwing on of the he'll
NETS with breathless interest, and when
the divers would come to the surface to
report progress there would be rush to
hear, if possible, what they were saving.
In several instances the pipes that carried
air to the divers were trampled on, and
finally Captain Whitelaw had to clear the
ship in order to save possible catastrophe,
The divers worked methodically, and in a
few hours they had all the holes in the
hull OF the Point Arena canvased up. At
low water the work of pumping out will
begin, and by noon to-day the steamer
will probably be ready to go on the Spreck-
els drydock.

makes the following brief report of the
disaster: april 10 at 7:3O A. NJ. while
leaving Point Arena. got line in the pro-
peller, which was made fast from the
steamer Whitesboro to the buoy. Disabled
the vessel and she was washed on the
rocks and hole stove in her bottom. Was
hove off an hour later with the steam
winch and assistance from the steamer
Whitesboro. Signaled the steamer South
Coast, which was bound north, and m ade
arrangements to tow to San Francisco"
Captain Hanson of the South Coast re-
ports that the tow was not very difficult.
After the Point Arena went on her beam
ends the main trouble was TO lust keep 60
ing for fear that the engines might drop
out of the sunken vessel. 1--WE could not
make more than three or four knots an
hn catI hn Ntn,1 L
for us that we had fair weather or else we
would have been compelled to abandon
her. AS 1t was, we logged along and finally
reached port without any trouble after the
Point Arena went on her beam ends"
The Point Arena does not show many
slgns OF wear and tear after her rough ex-
perlence. Some of her bulwarks have been
carried away and her deck houses dam
aged. The standing rigging, however, is
intact, and the boilers and machinery are
still in place. Once the water is pumped
out OF her the work of repairing will be-
gin at once and about the first week in
May the Point Arena will be on her old
route again.
Captain Hansen of the South Coast is
quite large shareholder in the Point
Arena, so what he looses on one instance
he will make in the other. The salvage
will amount to considera ble and Captain
Hansen's share will more than likely
leave him money in pocket after all the
losses on the Point Arena have been paid.
The South Coast only waited here few
hours to take on coal and then started
north again under full head of steam to
complete her interrupted voyage.
The appliances for wrecking on the
Whitelaw are perfect and the automatic
air machine is capable of keeping five men
supplied continuously. Yesterday it
worked perfectly and the divers asserted
that the supply of air was so per cent
more regular than that sent TO them by
the old hand-pumps.

The Arts and Crafts Guild will open its

The exhibition will consist of sketches

be no hanging committee, as each artist in
the organization will be given certain
amount of space and we'll be held respon-
sible for filling it with his own work. II
an aching void here and there confronts
the beholders, there will be no difficulty
in laying the blame at the door of the
artists who are responsible for the blank
spaces where pictures ought to be. There
is committee of arrangements of which
Arthur Mathews is chairman, the other

TRIED TO ATTACH HER SHARES

Mrs. Auzerais Hoyte Has an Experience
Common to Professional Actresses.
An enterprising firm of collectors at
tempted day or two ago to attach the
box receipts of the Alcazar Theater, of
which Mrs. Auzerais Hoyte is supposed to
be half owner, to secure the payment of
bill of $195. contracted some time before
the actress took to the professional stage.
The amount claimed was for two ele-
CANT dresses procured from local firm of
dressmakers previous to one of the then
Mrs. Auzerais' trips to Paris. The plan to
hold up her earnings failed, because while
Mrs. Hoyte had purchased the interest
mentioned soc had not paid for the same.
The collectors are still living in hopes that
she will pay up her interest and give them
an opportunity to attach.

what RepubIicanism Stands For.

Among the many excellent and superb ut
terances of Gov. Mckinley in his great
speech before the Marquette club in Chicago
not long ago, were the following:
mo one need be in doubt about what the
republican party stands for. Its own histo-
ry makes that too palpable and clear to adj
nit of doubt. 1t stands for reunited and
recreated nation, based upon free and hon.
est elections In every township, county, city,
district and state in this great American
union. 1t stands for the American farm,
the American factory, and the prosperity of
all American people. 1t stands for reci-
procity that reciprocates, and which does
not yield up to another country single
days labor that belongs to the American
workingman. 1t stands for international
agreements that get as much as they give,
upon terms OF mutual advantage. 1t stands
for IN exchange of our home products for
such foreign products as we consume, but
do not produce. 1t stands for the reciproci-
ty of Blaine; the reciprocity of Harrison;
for the restoration of the principles en-
bodied in the reciprocity provision of the
republican tariff of 1890"

The republican city convention held last
night was one that from the very start
showed the condition of the party in Owosso
united and enthusiastic, and prepared,
through this, the most important year in
politics In the last quarter century, to stand
for all and every party candidate-national,
state, county, city and ward-and if nomin-
ations throughout the year are as good as
those already made, the victory will be the
most complete in the history of the nation.
E. o. Dewey called the convention TO Or
der and DIR. A. M. hume was made chair
man; S. Lamfrom was appointed secretary,
Dr.. A. l.. Arnold and f f. Bumps tellers,
r z. Bigelow, A. L. Hartshorn, j. j.

to proceed to an informal ballot for mayor
which resulted. l. G. Curry 10; II. S. Had
sail IL, M. l.. Parker g.; S. S. SINNER 4; s. E.
Parkill 2. The formal ballot resulted, Curry
Aid Curry was declared the nominee and in
short speech thanked the voters for their
support and promising a careful and
economical administration If elected. Mr..
Hadsall was loudly called for and graceful
ly thanked the convention for the votes
he had received. pledging bis loyal and con-
tinued support In this and all campaigns
for the success of the republican nominees.
A formal ballot for clerk resulted in Fred
Edwards receiving go and A. Fl. Northway
3 votes Both thanked the convention in a
pleasant way,
A motion TO nominate o. L. Sprague by
Reclamation, receiving one negative vote,
formal ballot was taken, resulting, o. l..
Sprague 20 and c. c. Gregory Q. Both
men were called out and loudly cheered,
Mr. Gregory receiving most satisfactory
reception as future candidate.
The secretary was instructed to cast the
ballot of the convention for j. l.. Ash for
school inspector, and he was declared the
nominee.
The ticket as whole, including ward
nominees will be elected. We do not think
there is shadow of doubt as to the city
ticket, and certainly the republican nomi-
nees for supervisors are superior in every
way to their opponents, and there is abso-
lutely no question as to the aldermen. The
minor offices will be filed by good men. A
complete republican victory is the certain
result and we think years trial of the men
will prove their undoubted fitness for the
positions.
Let every republican vote, and vote
straight and continue to do so, and 1897
will see far more happy and prosperous
people,
