The officers seized him. and after desperate struggle, during which O'Keefe was severely kicked in the left side, they succeeded in over towering him.

BRITISH SHIP KILMORY.

in honor of the new year. The Celtic burn, at Union street wharf, and the Orealla and Pyrenees, in the stream, were artistically dressed with flags and bunting, but the Kilmory, at the sea wall, easily took the pride of place. She did not fly many flags, but every yard and mast carried one or more punches of holly. Captain Ferguson sent his boys to the hills back of Selby's for the evergreens, and they brought back enough to deck the ship from stem to stern and from deck to truck. The Kilmory is a handsome ship at any time, but yesterday she was the observed of all observers. Captain Ferguson is well known in San Francisco, having been here at different times in the Highland Home, Gowanbank, City of Delhi and now the Kilmory. The latter vessel is sister ship to the Kilbrannan, which was wrecked in Puget Sound several years ago.
 All the British ships were thrown open to visitors yesterday, and the cap tains remained aboard to receive New Year callers The Inverneil, Lindfield, Kilmory, Celticburn and Royal Forth had numbers of people aboard through out the day, and the officers and men made all welcome. Early in the after noon the government steamer McDow- ell went out to the British warships with an invitation for the officers of the Leander and Virago to accept the hospitality of General Shafter at Fort Mason. The McDowell waited and car ried them to the fort.
 The bark Canada, that was put into commission last week. after being laid up for two years, had great difficulty in securing a crew.

Three Crews to Handle the Bay City and Enci-
 nal in Future.
The Men Will Now Have to Stand a Watch of Forty
 Eight Hours.
Much Grunnb bling Over the Extra Work and Many Of the Hands
 Will Resign.

Trouble is brewing among the men who man the ferry steamers Bay City and Encinal and freight boat Thor oughfare. Hitherto the Encinal and Bay City have had two crews, one working g twenty-four hours and then being re- lieved by the second crew. In this way they each worked twenty-four hours and got twenty-four hours off. Now the two steamers are to be work ed with three crews, one being what is called "the swing crew." For ir- stance, the crew of the Bay City will work for forty-eight hours straight and then the swing crew" will take over the boat for twenty-four hours. At the end of that time the Bay City men will go back to work and "the swing crew" will go to the Encinal and relieve her men for twenty-four hours. At the end of that day "the swing crew. will take its day off and will be ready to relieve the Bay City men at the end of their forty-eight hour watch. In this way a crew is saved which will be used in manning the Thoroughfare.
 The necessity for the change came about in this way. When the Encinal was refitted and made into a modern boat, she had rails laid on her deck and was used as a freight boat after she was through with the passenger business. While handling freight, however, she was delayed so long at Lombard street nearly every morning that she could not get to Oakland ir time to make the 6:35 a. m. trip tc San Francisco. In consequence work ingmen and others whose duties called them to the city early had to wait for the return of the Bay City on the 70; a. m. trip. This gave rise to endless complaints and in consequence the Thoroughfare was called out of retire ment, fitted out for the narrow-gauge route and goes into commission to-day In future the Encinal and Bay City will carry passengers only. The changes among the crews of the two boats are likely to be frequent as the men assert that they will never be able to stand a forty-eight hour watch as a regular thing.
 The ship Llewellyn J. Morse. that | put in here in distress while on heI way from San Diego for Puget Sound will have to go on the drydock. Sht was strained iT the recent southeastel and will have. to be caulked through i out.
