they gave pull upon the chain.

Cruel Treatment.

Frantic cries in a voice full of ter
ror drew the attention of many on the
wnarfs near the training ship Adams
TO the stern of that vessel yesterday
Cling in the water right under the
stern and it was at first thought that
one of the apprentices had fallen over
board. Investigation showed, how
ever. that the cause for the cries was
the manner in which one of the timid
Youngsters was being taught to swim.
The lad had apparently been thrown
overheard with rope about him and
told to swim. He had probably pro-
tested and was terribly frightened as
could be told by his frantic yells. Fl
nally clinging to a rope he made his
way to buoy about a hundred feet
from the stern of the vessel where he
clung He was ordered back to the
ship and started and then losing con-
fdence in himself went back to the
buoy He clung to it as if in fear of
his life and after he had been there
little time one of the men from the
ship swan out to the buoy and tried
to force the boy to let go. The boy
struggled and although he was pushed
of two or three times he always re-
yaiped hic hold .Thau tho man climb
ing up on the buoy deliberately tried
to push the lad into the water with mis-
feet, kicking him in the head several
times in his efforts TO make the boy
let go his hold. The screams of the
boy continued and about half an hour
after his torture began an officer in a
boat pulled to the buoy and took the
lad aboard and back to the ship where
on getting to the deck he was greet
ed with the yells and boots of derision
of his more brave or rather less timid
mates. The treatment accorded .he
little lad was the cause of good deal
of criticism on the Pacific Mail wharf
where there was quite a crowd col
lected to see the Rosamond of and

Port of Refuge.
SEATTLE, Wash. Dec. pa pro-
iect that has been talked of by ship
ping men of Puget Sound for the past
ten years now seems certain of fulfill
ment under a section of the river and
harbor appropriation bill in Congress
which carries an appropriation for the
preliminary work on system of
breakwaters to convert Near Bay into
harbor of refuge. 1t is estimated
that the breakwaters will cost about
s2,000,O00. The project will be of i'm
mense value to the shipping of the
Sound on account of the dangers to
navigation in the vicinity of Cape
Flattery and it has been favorably re.
ported upon by General Wilson. chief
of engineers. and Captain Harry Tay-
lor. until recently in charge of the
river and harbor fortification work on
the Sound.

vessels worked ali Sunday taking on

of each other. the Olympic getting Of
first as the Rosamond was delayed
waiting FOR sixty-six bags OF sugar
Captain Ward told Captain Brokaw Il
the Fearless that he would be ready CT
2 o'clock and the tug was laying along
side OF the ROsamond waiting when
Captain Gibbs OF the Olympic made
his appearance on the deck of the
schooner and yelled TO the captain Of
the tug that he was all ready for sea
Captain Ward was nowhere in sight,
and so the tug went TO the Olympic
and took hold OF her at 3 O'Clock.
Twenty-Five minutes the vessel was at
sea and going under sail At quarter
to four the Fearless returned to the
Rosamond and waited about three
quarters OF an hour for the captain
who was up town getting his papers
at the Custom House. As soon as ne
got aboard the vessel the Fearless
started with her for sea and she was
soon on her way TO San Francisco.
The Olympic was plainly in sight
about FIVE miles ahead OF the schoon-
er. end as the wind had freshened be-
tween the time the bark was taken
out and the time the schooner reached
the open sea the latter began to move
rapidly towards her rival.
The intense rivalry between the cap
tains OF the two vessels is remarkable
in that it is lasting so long. Each IS
proud of his vessel and the fact that
the two boats have not been more
than a day apart for over three
months and during two round trips
between this port and San Francisco
makes the interest marvelously
strong
While the racing vessels were still
in sight the Mauna Ala was towed to
sea. She is also going to San Fran
cisco and it is possible that she will
be third party to the race as the
old vessel has shown some very sur
prising speed at times, and although
she does not look like a fast boat she
gives a good account of herself on oc-
casion.
With the vessels above mentioned
and the Standard and Cleaner the
Fearless had a rapid days work. On
the morning she took the Standard 70
sea and then returning towed the re-
fuse scows out. The Eleu. being laid
up for repairs, the Spreckels tug :
taking her place. Then the Rosamond
was brought from the stream to the
Pacific Mail wharf to finish her cargo.
In the afternoon the tug lay alongside
the Rosamond until 8 o'clock when
she started for the Olympic and in the
next two hours and forty minutes ia
ciuding a wait of threequarters of al
hour for the Rosamond she took four
vessels to sea.
