There are 400 soldier boys on Angel ISL
and and every one of them is a confirmed
pie eater. Yesterday about one hundred
women visitors went over to the island
on the steamer Genral Mcdowell and
each one of them carried either a basket
recovered from their last feast, and the
chances are that none of the supplies
taken over yesterday will be wasted.
AS before stated there are 400 volunteers
on Angel Island, and a week ago last
Saturday their longing for pie burst all
bounds. They besieged Mrs. Tallman,
keeper of the temperance canteen, for pie,
pie, pie, and that good soul sent to the
city for supply that she thought would
gut the market. Sixteen hundred pies
apricot pies, peach pies, pear pies, apple
any old kind of pies-were carted down
to Clay street wharf, and when the crew
of the Mcdowell saw the load they near
ly tainted. Captain Stofen surveyed the
sixteen hundred consignment and re-
marked: THAT means four pies to each
man; and as there will probably, be one
Whose de in pe ha
will leave 500 pies to be raff1ed for by the
other 300. Now I'll bet new hat that
there will be couple of hundred men on
the sick list next week.
Well, the pies reached Angel Island last
Saturday night week, and last Monday
morning there was not one to be got for
love or money and Tuesday morning

mile long waiting for the doctor. They
all secured the same prescription-a black
of that experience there was not a single
pie brought back on the Mcdowell last
night
There was very lively row on Folsom
street wharf yesterday morning just
Clara. AS result Mate johnson went
to sea with pair of black eyes and Boss
Stevedore Olsen was assisted to his home
by sympathizing friends. The trouble was
over the slowing of the Santa Clara's
cargo. When the captain went up town
he instructed the mate to see to it that
the ship was properly trimmed. Accord
ing to Johnson, when the stevedores had
finished their job the vessel had list to
starboard. He pointed this out to Olsen
and told him to straighten the ship up.
Olsen told him 1t was none of his busi-
ness, and Johnson invited the boss steve
dore to the wharf to prove to him that
it was Just as the mate was proving
least, that it was his business, the long
shoremen saw that Olsen was getting the
worst of it and they rushed in, separated
the combatants and gave Johnson his pair
of black eyes. The latter is now cursing
himself for having left the deck of his
own ship to fight on the wharf. Johnson
and Olsen weigh about 230 pounds each,
so the fight was truly battle of giants.
