Uncle Sam Owns the Eleu.
There has always been more or less un-
certainty as to who owns the tug Eleu.
A letter from Superintendent Of Public
Works McCandless to Captains Whitney
and Lehners, inspectors of hulls and
boilers. however, seems to settle the
matter.
In this letter McCandless declares that
as the Eleu is the property of the United
States, she is not in need of inspection
as it Is expressly stated by the law that
United States Government vessels are
not to be inspected by the men who ex-
anime vessels owned by private individ-
uaiS, corporations or state or municipal
governments.
1t has been limited that for the pur-
pose Of saving the Eleu from condemna-
ton by the inspectors, she was declared
to be Government vessel Her ma
chinery and boilers have been Inspected
and found to be in good condition, but
it Is thought that her hull would not
stand an examination.

A South Sea Island ARTIST.


There is a little South Sea Island ar
tist; he is scarcely five years old and
stands not more than three feet high,
and he lives with number of his coun-
trymen in the little settlement where
the houses are built out of kerosene tins
and dry goods boxes, On the spit of land
beyond the boat houses. His pencil is a
bit of coral or a sharp piece of iron or
sometimes the point of his top, while the
surface upon which he illustrates his
ideas is often the side of an old boat or
the smooth, damp sand. He sketches all
the ships which pass by his little home
on their way into the harbor from far
away ports over the sea, or on their way
out of port. bound for other corners OF

Topgallant In Distress.

After a terrible experience with the ele-
ments the American bark Topganant ar
rived in this port yesterday morning from
Manila in distress. She was not bound
for this port, but during the long, dam
gerous trip from the Philippines the cap
tain of the vessel came to the conclusion
that his vessel was unseaworthy, and
decided to put into the first port avail
able, although the Topgallant was bound
for Port Townsend.
The tug Fearless towed the distressed
bark into port. AT daylight Captain
Brokaw was aboard the Fearless and
hurrying his vessel out of the harbor
after couple of vessels which had just
been reported. They were both of them
way outside of the harbor, but 1t did not
take the Fearless flong to get to the
nearest one and take 1t in tow. This
was the ship c. II. Sargent, from Ia
coma. The Fearless brought her in in
quick time, left her right inside the har-
Dor and then, almost without waiting
for the line to be cast astern, turned
about and scooted out after the remain
ing vessel.
The old Topgailant's master. captain
Hans Lunyeldt, was glad to find him
self in port, safe If not sound after all
that he had taken the bark through. The
Topgallants days of usefulness have
passed and there is possibility of her
never going to sea again. Captain Lun-
|veldt says that it is absolutely unsafe
TO proceed any further with the bark,
and he will ask that a board of survey
be appointed to examine the vessel.
In the latter part of last year the
iTopgallant went from Port Townsend to
Hongkong with a load of lumber She
arrived at Hongkong without any acct
dent, discharged her cargo and sailed
thence on the oath of September on the
return trip to Port Townsend She lost

In all probability Honolulu will soon
have a Merchants Exchange. There is
a great need for such an institution
in this City and corresponding demand

Is Pacific Shore Line sinklnga

The United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey Department has a corps of engi-
neers on the Coast for the purpose of
ascertaining whether or not the shore
line along the waters of the Pacific ocean
is sinking. 1t is the opinion of those
who are engaged in the work that when
the Investigations have been completed
it will be found that during the past
century the shore has fallen several
inches, and that at the present time 1t
is going down. The same work has been
done on the Atlantic Coast, and there 1t
has been found that the rate of sinking
is about 21a inches every hundred years.
In some sections along the Atlantic
Coast, it is said, land that a hundred
years ago was being titled is now mum
dated. Much of the present shore marsh
in that part of the country a hundred
years ago was good farming land, and
raised good crops. 1t will not, however
be used for this purpose again, for the
Investigations of the department have
demonstrated that once shore land falls
it never comes up again.
