THE YACHT FOLLY DAMAGED
CAPsIzED WHILE RECEIVING A
COAT OF PAINT.

There was chapter of accidents in tbs
| bay yesterday. The steamers Apache and
| Monticello were in collision, the gasoline
| schooner La Chilena and the schooner Jo-
| seph and Henry ran into each other, the
| yacht Folly was badly damaged and a
| sailor from the Iowa was nearly drowned.
/ The river steamer Apache brought from
| Mare Island a quantity of supplies for
Manila These were put aboard the Roa-
noke and the Apache proceeded to her
| dock at Market street wharf. The Mon
| ticello was locked across the way at Mis-
| sion street, and as the Apache came up
| the slip the wind and tide caught and
carried her down on the Vallejo boat.
The Monticello was struck hard on the
| port side and every pane of glass in the
steamer was broken by the crash. A few
feet Of railing were carried away, but the
damage was not sufficient to prevent the
Monticello from making her usual after
noon trip to Vallejo.
The La Chilena was on her way to Fort
Ross and the Joseph and Henry to Co
guile River. The latter was beating out
and about 2 p. m, when off the Preside,
the two. vessels came together: The cap
tain of the La Chilena thought the
schooner would cross his bows, but mis-
calculated the distance and the vessels
crashed into each other. The La Chilena
lost her fore and main mastheads and
had to return to port for repairs. The
Joseph and Henry continued on her way,
Commodore Campbell and his wife had
a thrilling experience on the yacht Folly.
1t is only a short time ago that the com
modore purchased the yacht and she was
being got ready for the summer season.
Now the Folly is unusually deep and on
the dock has somewhat the appearance
of a wedge. She was got close inshore,
between two wharves, at Sausalito, and
when. the tide began to fall guys were
to prevent the Folly from topping over.
AT almost dead low water Commodore
and Mrs Campbell were standing on the
yachts deck, directing a gang of paint
ers, when without a moments warning
| one OF the guys parted and the Folly fell
modore, his wife the painters and the
paint pots were all thrown into the bay.
but luckily the water was only a couple
ashore, escaping with a ducking. A num-
| Der of the planks on the port side of the
Folly are sprung and she will have to
go on the ways for an oyerhauling be-
fore she can go into commission.
One of the sailors of the Iowa fell from

battle ship and had narrow escape He

There is only one wharf down there, and
whichever vessel gets in first discharges

betting is all in favor of the Lurline.
There was sale of unclaimed goods, at
Company on the front yesterday. Nearly
all the stuff was made up of the outfits
and provisions of men who had started
for the Klondike, but got cold feet and
came home when they got to Dyea or
Skaguay. Their outfits they did not con-
slider worth the return freight so they
left them on the steamship company's
hands. Peddlers were the principal pur-
chasers and the goods realized small
prices.
