The sloop Progress, of Equality,
commanded by Capt. Gunnison, sailed
from her moorings on a cruising ex-
petition, with E. c. Halliday as first
mate, l.. l.. Clifford steward. Fl. w.
Halliday able seaman, and Robert
Barton stowaway. In their haste to
get off on the high tide they forgot
the ships compass, but found that the
sloop carried three anchors. So they
thought that if they got lost they
could throw overheard an anchor or
two. and wait until some of the broth
ers from Equality should find them.
Capt. Gunnison took first watch and
ordered the man at the wheel to steer

but before reaching the island they
ran into a dead calm, or Il dead calm
ran into the sloop, they could hardly
distinguish which. After drifting
along for some time, Steward Clifford
announced supper: all hands. the man
at the wheel included, went below and
ate up everything in sight of an eata-
BILE nature that could be found on
board. except some hogs lard and a
little sugar.
The dead calm continuing, the cap
tain ordered the oars manned, and by
calling up the stowaway they sue
ceeded in reaching the island, and
dropped anchor in as fine little har-
Dor as could be found on Puget Sound.
All hands went ashore in the tendt r
to look up hotel or lodging house.
All that could be found in the way of
a lodging house was an empty hen
roost. The first mate, able seaman
and stowaway took possession at once
and the captain and steward returned
on board the sloop and slept on tie

cept the stowawav concluded to go to
Whatcom. So after a fine breeze
had driven the sloop along for eight
or ten leagues, the sloop again ran
into still place and refused to bulge.
The stowaway began to cry for bread
and wish that he was at home IN
Equality where bread was plenty
The captain said he would send stow
away below in irons if he did not shut
up: at that the whole crew mutinied
and threw the captain overheard. but
he was good seaman and swan after

The sloop was headed for home with
the first breeze that showed up, anG
on the way a squall struck the sloop
whirling the jib boom around with
such force that it knocked the anchor

fast the whole shooting match was
lost. The top halyard block broke
loose and let the halyard down on
deck: but our captain soon handed
over new sling, and the break was
made good.

THE LATE GENERAL ROSECRANS-
more than two weeks ago, it was not
supposed the aiiment was more than
an attack of the grip. He rallied sew
eral times. but the physician never
held out much hope for recovery, and
for the last three days the family and
friends had known that the end was
very near.
The place where he died is called
Rosecrans, in honor OF him. and is near
a station on the Redondo, about u
miles from the city. The general had
made his home there on a large ranch
devoted to fruit raising for several
years General Rosecrans was pos
sessed OF a fine property. and his last
days were spent in peace and plenty.
Arrangements are being made to
have a public funeral for General
Rosecrans. in which all the military
bodies Of this city and section will par
ucipate- A request viii be made to
have the body lie in state in the city
hall until the funeral.
General Rosecrans was born In Kings
ton. o.. Sept. g. 1919. and was grad
uated from West Point In 1872 He
served IL years in the regular army
and then entered into business life. Al
the outbreak of the civil war he re
| entered the service and was made
| colonel OF the Twenty-third Ohio vol
unteers. Three days later he was made
| brigadier general, and served with dis
| tinction throughout the war, rising tC
! the grade of major general. After the
1 war he was twice elected to congress
from California, and in 1888 was ap.

tion in most cases impossible. The reg
lister OF the lodging house does not aid
in the investigation for Bowery lodg-
ers as often as not register under as
sumed names. Again, such dodgers are
often friendless, and leave none to miss
them and search for them.
No. los Bowery is one OF the best
known lodging houses of that thor
oughfare. 1t is called the Bowery Mis-
sion lodging house, and Is conducted
by The Christian Herald. In the base
ment OF the building there is a cheap
restaurant, while the ground floor is
used exclusively for mission purposes,
Gospel services having been held there
daily for several years. The four upper
floors are fitted up as a cheap lodging
house, with accommodations for $50
men, who pay Is, 20 and Is cents, ac-
cording to the location of the rooms.
When the alarm was given and the
inmates aroused a wild scene of excite
ment ensued. Many of the dodgers be-
came panic stricken. They rushed into
the Railways. and fell over each other
in their efforts to reach the street.
The majority Of them saved only por-
tions of their clothing, and several
were naked.
