!. Put Into Coquimbo in
i. Distress.

- The storm is over, but tales from ves-
sells that suffered in 1t will continue to
+eome in for some time All the
vessels in port took advantage of the sun
shine yesterday and had their sails out
il to dry. A big fleet of fishing boats went
out for the first time in weeks and they
and the sailors at work on the ships at
j. anchor gave an appearance of life to
1.-THE bay that 1t has not had for two
weeks.
r The arrival of the overdue Golfers made
things lively on the front and long strings
:of wagons were waiting at each of the
'punkers for chance to load. The Wei
lihgton got in from Departure Bay late
Tuesday afternoon. and some of the coal
wagons were in line all night waiting to
get the first load in the morning. The
Charles Nelson came in from Seattle.
Her delay was due to the fact that her
captain did not like the looks of the
weather, so he lay for a day and a night
in Neah Bay. The Mineola from Seattle
and the Wyefield from Naniamo, B. c.,
were seven days coming down. and they
got the full benefit Of the storm. They
Coo were hove to for thirty-siX hours and had
a very rough time of 1t.
O. Over at Sausalito the yachtsmen and
Others are repairing the damage done by
the southeastern. The San Francisco Yacht
Clubs float got loose and drifted down
en- Dr.. McKenzie's gasoline launch AL
p berta- The latter was driven on the
beach and had her bottom considerably
damaged. Later she drifted down on the
yacht Ripple, and the Alberta had all
her windows smashed while the Ripple
was badly chafed. The yacht Catherine
. had her rudder broken. and a pleasure
boat owned by Mr.. SusaVille was stove
lin by the derelict float. Six feet of the
: embaukment around the Paclnc Yacht
"Cub's boathouse was carried away, and
. the waves made a clean breach through
: the building All the .earthworks around
the house were carried away and the
structure now stands alone in its glory
in the middle Of a lake.
: The wrecked steamer Noyo has been
.docked at Little Main street and the work
Of unloading her is being rushed. Tues
day night j. H. Bullock of klmball d
60. got a lot of longshoremen together
and set them to work at unloading the
vessel The men soon learned that 1t was
"a rush job" and demanded so cents an
hour instead of the regular 50 cents. MI
Bullock had TO pay it,, but yesterday
morning when he had the crew to-
getheT he ordered them to turn TO. Then
o." the crew said they wouldn't work for less
!: than so cents an hour. The matter was
. laid before the ShipoWners Association,
but Il was pOwerlesS, so Mr.. Bullock
went back to the Noyo and put the long
shOremen to work again. AT the same
time he told the sailors that all the over
time and oVerpay that the longshoremen
were receiving would be stopped out of
their pay. At 1 p m. this brought the
sailors to their senses and they turned to,
so all yesterday afternoon there was a
double gang at work discharging the
vessel. AS soon as the lumber is out the
Noyo will go on the drydock for an ex-
animation.
