LEALE AT GRANTS PASS.
After Rounding the Horn a Dozen
Times He Was Seasick on
FlUnne

Captain Leale OF the steamer Caroline
had peculiar experience during his re-
cent trip to Grants Pass. He has been
around the Horn dozen times and never
was seasick, yet when he came to walking
fiume at the place mentioned he enjoyed
the first sensation of genuine seasickness
he has known. The party was on visit
to one of the mines, and Leale was the
only sailor in the crowd. The sight OF the
rushing water reminded him of the Caro-
line in a sea way, and the experience was
so unexpected that he Immediately he
came sick. In fact, according to his own
account, he had TO get down and clutch
the cross brace in order to save himself
from falling. Finally his mpanions got
him on his feet again, and Leale finally
reached the mine in good order. On the
return trip he had recovered his sea legs,
and the captain of the Caroline was on
deck again Yesterday. He thinks so much
OF Grants Pass that be VOWS he will give
mp steamboating and start in as a rancher
and miner.
Powell-street wharf is dangerous and
vessels will not dock there Tor months TO
come. The Farallon went there on Sun
day and landed considerable lumber and
this caused the center OF the pier TO sag.
The piles gave way and it looked as
though everything was going. but luckily
something held and the structure was
saved. Yesterday Chief WhaTfinger Root
issued instructions to the ID. H. Bibb
Lumber Company and the Simpson Lum-
ber Company to remove tne!r belongings
at once and also posted q notice to the
effect that the wharf is dangerous for
vessels TO lie alongside. This particular
wharf has been dead loss TO the COM
mission from the start. Vessels cannot
lie at 1t at any time without extra moor
ing lines, and when gale comes up they
all seek safer quarters. Last year over
100 feet was cut away from the outer end,
and now it would not be at all surprising
to hear of the present commission order
ing The whole structure torn down.

The gang OF gypsies who have been
making their headquarters in Mill Valley
for month past attempted to get away
on the vessel but failed. Thev had their
passage money all ready but the captain
demanded that each head of a family
should put up $50 to show tnat he was not
a pauper, as otherwise he could not land
in Hawaii. This the gvpsies could not
do, so the vessel sailed without them. II
afierward transpired that they are pro-
fessional beggars and that among them
they have over $4,000, but:that it is NEARLY
all In negotiable paper on European

sary money on hand before the Alameda
