The transport St. Paul arrived from Ma
Mia via Nagasaki Yesterday promptly on
time. She made the run from the latter
port in little over nineteen days and
must have passed the transport PennsyI-
vania somewhere on the way. The Penn
sylvania left Nagasaki on May % as the
St. Paul was making port. The latter
vessel went on the drydoCk and did not
sail for San Francisco until May Is. The
: pennsylvania had not been on the dry
dock for some time. and that may ac-
count for the slow passage she is making.
The following came up on the St. Paul:

stroke in Manila and is mentally unbal-
ahced. johnson has religious mania and
thinks the second coming of Christ is at
hand. His hair reaches almost to his
shoulders and he will not allow anybody
The repairs TO the transport Sheridan's
boilers and machinery will be completed
by the 10Th, and couple of days there
after she will sail for Manila.
Captain George Ankers was not drowned
from Long Wharf. Oakland. For several
months his wife and family have mourned
MIN for dead. but three days ago a we'll
known shipmaster met him in Portland
and had long conversation with him
AnKerS said he was not coming back to
San Francisco until he had earned enough
money to make good the amount he was
short in the accounts of the schooner
Oceanla Vance. In the meantime his
wife is making brave struggle in Mill
Valley to support her children.
Captain Ankers was formerly master of
the Mail company's steamer San Juan
but during one voyage she went aground
and according to a rule Of the company
Ankers lost his command. He was then
made master Of the schooner Oceania
Vance and made several trips TO Hawaii
in her On his last voyage the vessel
went 70 Oakland to discharge. Captain
Ankers had been to the office Of the own
ers on his arrival and the next day was
ipb he
crossed over on the ferry and had dinner
on the steamer, with some friends. He had
not been heard from until a friend of his
ran across him in Portland
The general supposition was that Ank-
ers had fallen overheard and been
drowned. A reward of $50 was offered for
his remains and for weeks men dragged
in the vicinity of the wharf in hopes Of
earning the money His wife hoped
from but finally came to the conclusion
that he was dead and set herself to the
task of providing for her family. The
amount Ankers was short in his accounts
was not very great and the chances are
that had he made a clean breast of II to
his owners they would have given him a
friend in Portland that he would secure a
position as mate on some vessel and try
TO work his way back into his old posi-
The Italian bark Stefano Razeto was on
fire in Sydney harbor yesterday, but was
rot greatly damaged. She left here on
March with 759. 406 feet of lumber and
some general cargo, the whole being val
ued at 1913 159. She arrived al Sydney. n
S. W, on May 81, and the supposition IS
that the fire broke out in the general
cargo.
The steam schooner Celia is on her way
back to San Francisco after an absence
of three years. She was formerly engaged
in the coastng and lumber trade, but was
chartered to some mine owners for use
on the Mexican coast. She is coming here
for an overhauling and is bringing up
cargo of cedar logs.
The steamer Noyo took away for Fort
Bragg yesterday party of campers that
expects to do great things in the way of
hunting and fishing. They are Eric and
Alfred Rosenstirn, Clifford Cook and W.
Scoofy With them went three horses,
wagon. half a dozen hunting dogs and
about a ton of supplies. They are bound
for Eel River and during their six weeks
stay expect to do some wonderful things
in the way of hunting and fishing
Theo Jonkowsky, deckhand on the
schooner Solano nearly lost his life yes
terday His vessel was going alongside
the steamer Wyefield to discharge her
cargo of coal, when the barge bullion got
in the way. In trying to fend the barge
off Jonkowsky fell between and was
crushed At the Harbor Hospital 1t was
found that the lower part of his spine was
dislocated.
The steamer China sailed for the Orient
yesterday. She took away very large
cargo of general merchandise In which
