tum OF the Defender which made for
dock at Seventh street. Ten piling

wholesale destruction was checked on
ly when the donkey engine on the front
Of the barge came. in contact with the
dock. The engine was torn from its
fastenings and pushed against the mast.
A number OF women were sitting on the
dock fishing and were made aware Of
the approaching danger by the Captain
Of the Calender. who called to them
TO get out Of the way. This was done
quickly but not moment too soon.
On the scow are hundreds OF tons of
cannon balls. broken cannons, gun car

Nearly all the booty stolen by the

night Of August 70. has been recovered.
Sheriff Llnville spen, all Of Thursday
In Portland locating and gathering the
property. One OF the men, charged
with the crime. went to the city with
the sheriff and assisted the officer in
finding most of the stun. In Jap
anese store much Of II was found. and
the remainder IL In vallses and trunks,
which will be shipped to this city soon.
II is remarkable that the men sue
ceeded In getting out Of the city without
arousIng suspicion. because the amount
'of plunder secured is enough to fill
an ordinary express wagon. II is sus-
pected that others were implicated in
the robbery, In fact. the men them
selves state that such Is the case. but
as they win not dIvulge the names or
locations Of their pal or pals, they
alone will have to suffer for the crime.
The reason the proprietor OF the Bee
Hive was unable to estimate his loss
at the time Of the robbery. was be-
cause the crooks. after dumping the
contents OF the boxes in their grips. re-
placed the empty boxes ON the shelves,
and II was only when something was
wanted that the boxes were found to be
empty.

Through the efforts OF the Seattle

of-war Nipsic, which has been lying in
the Sound for several years, win be
transformed, into a modern receiving
ship and be stationed at Bremerton for
recruiting for the navy. The nearest
recruiting station at the present time
is in San Francisco, and the North
west succeeded in convincing the naval
department that many young men who
would willingly go into the navy, did
not care TO go as far as San Francisco
and run the risk OF being rejected up
on examination there. When the train
Ing ship Adams visited the Sound nine
" recruits were. secured and this fact
aided materially the efforts Of the Sc
