Five Deep Water Vessels Are
Tied Up in the Stream
Waiting for Crews.
The Klondike Rush and the Rush of
Wheat Shipments Responsible for
Dearth of Seamen.

There is a dearth of deep-water sailors
in this port, and as a consequence five
laden ships have been lying at anchor in
the stream for several days waiting tor
crews to enable them to depart. The ves-
sells tied up in port are the British ships
Clan Macfarlane, Red Rock, Barfillan and
Millennium, and the American ship Henry
Failing. These vessels lack from six 10
fifteen men each, and they cannot depart
until crews are found. A nun Der OF ships
now loading with wheat at Port Costa will
probably be similarly delayed in the near
future.
The scarcity of seamen is due to several
causes. One is the increased demand due
to tho rapid shipment of wheat For
another thing a large number of the coast
seamen who had small bank accounts
have joined the Klondike rush.
Quite a mum Der of the deep water sailors
have thus entered the coasting trade,
owing to the demand for coast seamen.
Aside from this quite mum Der o deep
water seamen have drifted into the coun-
try as is usual al this time of year, owing
to the demand for fruit-pickers and other
laborers. Large biood-money bonuses
and probably an increase in wages would
be the result of the present condition if it
were not for the fact that both the Board
ing-house Masters Association and the
Sailors Home are tied up by contracts
with nearly all the ships involved. Wages
are now $40 q mouth, as they have been
for three or four weeks. Two months ago
the wages offered were SIS. The demand
is likely to exceed the supply for some
time to come. In the meantime sailors
Will be at premium.
