BU TIER hND. THE
BARK ALEXANDRA
Attempted to Beguile the
Chief Officer From
His Vessel.
Told Tales of Fabulous Wealth
to Be Found in the Gold
Mines.
Arriv of the Snow and Burgess
That Sailed a Day After the
Swanhilta

The arrival of Murderer Butler is still
the one subject discussed on the water
front. When the American bark Snow
and Burgess hove in sight off the Fara-
lions every one began figuring on the
chances of her being the Swanhilda.
When the vessel was made out then there
was rush TO figure out the number OF
days she was out from Sydney and to
compare her time with that Of the Swan
hilda. The result showed that the Snow
and Burgess sailed day after the British
ship, but has beaten her into port. The
captain of the Snow and Burgess reports
nothing unusual as having happened
during the voyage. He made the run
direct for San Francisco, and if reports to
hand can be relied upon the Swanhilda
went south and made her way around the
Fiji Islands. It was in the neighborhood
of the group that she was spoken by the
Union Steamship Company's Taupo and
papers put aboard telling about the mur-
ders. The Hawaiian Isles also made the
southern passage and got in here without
sighting the Swanhiida. Still that is not
to be wondered at as the Hawaiian Isles
sailed several days before the Britisher.
Chief Officer Blackstock of the British
bark Alexandra has story OF his own to
tell about Butler. His vessel is chartered
to loa lumbe at Puget Sound for West
Australia, and is thus going back to the
scene of the recent murders. The vessel
is now lying in Mission Bay and will load
there for the voyage to Australia.
The Alexandra came here from Sydney,
and it was only by the merest chance that
Chief Officer Blacks took came on her
While the vessel was lying at Circular
Quay, Lee Weller (Butler) put in an ap-
pearance and made the acquaintance of
all on board. He told long stories about
rich gold mines and places where gold
could be washed out of the sand at the
rate of $50 a day. Blackstock had over
$500 coming to him from the ship. and he
decided to draw it out and invest i: In one
OF Buffers ventures. Something came in
the way and Butler went to the mines
without Blsckstock for companion.
Early in October last the two men met,
and after mutual agreement it was
decided to leave for the mines on October
10. A few days later hitch occurred. and
on October 10 the Alexandra sailed for
San Francisco with Chief Officer Black
stock in his old position.
The Alexandra is well known in San
Francisco. The last time she visited this
port her cargo of coal was on fire and the
insurance company lost considerable in
consequence. From here she will go to

Henry Peterson Has Made an Addl.
ton to HIS Fleet.
Henry Peterson, the well-known cham
pion oarsman of California, has made an
addition to his fleet of gasoline steamers
and whitehall boats. Latterly he has
found great difficulty in handling ships
stores, so he had lighter built expressly
for the work. Yesterday she was launched
from the ways near Hunters Point, and
Mrs. Peterson christened her Vera as she
glIded into the waters of the bay. After
ward the launch Amv took the Vera in
tow and brought her to Folsom-street
arf, which will be her home port in the
future.
The American ship May Flint seems 20
be always in trouble. From the day she
was converted from British steamer into
an American sailing ip up to the present
there has never been a voyage but that
there has been some complaint. The last
time she was here the captain was accused
of lll-treating the men and this time the
mate was arrested. Now there has been
trouble oyer the shipping of the new
crew.
The captain made an arrangement with
one OF the shipping masters by which he
was to get men al SIS month and $25 ad-
The San Francisco call., 1897-01-25

vance. Out of this somebody was to get
$50 and "poor Jack" was to be out and in
jured to that extent. Before anything
was done John Cane put in a bid and got
the job of shipping the twenty-five men.
The contract was signed in the Office OF
the Snipowners Association and accord
ing to it each sailor got SIS month and a
$25 advance, less rebate OF $4 and an
extra dollar, which is the shipping master S
fee.
The matter of stopping money out of q
sailors advance has been laid before the
United States Shipping Commissioner,
and an investigation Will be held The
May Flint sailed for Honolulu in ballast
yesterday to load sugar for New York.
The schooners Car and Pinole were
close neighbors in Mission Bay yesterd ay,
and yet neither captain seemed anxious
to come to close quarters. The Pinole has
100 tons of dynamite on board, which she
brought down from Pinole Point, and the
same cargo will be put on the Gar some
time to-day. From here the explosive will
go to Central America and will there be
used in the gold mines.

Then he went over to the police station
to tell the Australian detective, McHattie,
to get his gun, while the boat with der
rick masts towering aloft steamed out to
sea after a tow.
After the dreamer had gone to chase up
another vision, the crowd found another
sensation. the Perry's launch lay along
side of the wharf with steam up, and an
other alarmist confdentially .old around
that the little vessel was in readiness to
carry the squad of detectives out to re-
ceive Butler. The informer verified his
statement by calling the crowd attention
