CITY Of KINGSTON lPPEAL.


Capt. John Birmingham. of San Fran
cisco, United States supervising inspector
OF steam vessels for the First district. was
in Seattle yesterday. his chef business De-
ing to coliate the documents relating 10 the
appeal in the City of Kingston collision No
additional testimony was taken In the case
except that Of w. III. CASTOR, Waterman
at the -four mill In Tacoma, who witnessed
the disaster: but as he .wa1 At cons.dera-
bile distance from the scene and Is not
mariner. his testimony was not considered
of material Importance.
The First district. over which Capt
Birmingham presades. includes all the nav
igable waters Of the United States west
OF the Rocky mountains. Few IL any men
on the Pacific coast have had longer or
more diversified marine experience than
Capt. Birmingham. As he sat In his room
at the Butler last night. hale and hearty.
1. seemed almost impossible to realize the
truth OF HIS statement that he performed
his first duty aboard ship on July 4. ls47.
His chief occupation has been that OF
engineer. He built the Mexico. In the
early SOS he Jstas running as chief engineer
on tho old steamships Columbia and Re-
public. and he can tell some interesting
stories of the early days Of navigation on
the Pacific coast.
Capt. Birmingham ID very plain. I'M
assuming old gentleman. and never cares
to talk Of his own experiences. but there
are few men living who have had a more
diversified experience. He has served in
nearly every department on steamship.
and has a national reputation as q steam
ship builder. owner and agent. He was
for many years In the employ of the Pa
cihc Mail. and ran IS CHIEF engineer on
the old Golden Age on the Panama route.
and while so engaged made the best rec
ord ever made between San Francisco and
Panama After running as chief engineer
for few years he changed to the other
end Of the boat. and was for several years
master Of tho steamship Republic, ieav-
ing there to take the position OF superin-
tendent Of the Pacific Mall. He was aft
onward manager OF the colorado Naviga-
ton Company, and the California 4 Mex
lean Steamship Line. Capt. Birmingham
10 very strict In his rules regarding the
overlooking OF vessels. but In the palmy
days OF the business on the Coast. when
there was more business than there was
boats to handle II. he was inclined to pile
on the freight as long as the vessel would
float.
Capt. Birmingham naturally declined to
express any opinion as to the outcome Of
the appeal In the Kingston case 1T will
take me two or three weeks to 60 through
the testimony" said he last night. There
are more than 90 pages OF II I wadcd
