Monday, put in under stress of wealth

Fearless to the Rescue.
BY far the most interesting incident
along the front yesterday started about
4 p. m, and continued until nearly
o'clock. In connection with the schoon-
er. Susie NJ. Plummer. the government
tug Eleu and the Fearless played prom
inent parts. The Plummer arrived on
Monday evening and remained outside.
Yesterday Captain Lund, not liking the
look Of the weather. decided to enter
the harbor. where he could obtain a
safe anchorage. Accordingly, about 4
p. m. the Eleu went out to tow the
P1ummer in. The tow rope broke, the
first rattle out of the box. Pilikias
never come singly. even to govern
ment tugs. and the case of the Eleu
was no exception to the general rule.
After breaking rope she fouled a haw
ser and got several turns of it en-
tangled IN her propeller. Things looked
pretty serious for the old boat, which
was in imminent danger OF drifting
onto the reef. She hung on to the
Plummer. however. and signalled for
help. In response, Captain Brokaw
took the Fearless to the rescue, and
waters of the harbor. He made no,
bargain with the Eleu, however. and
the question of compensation is as yet
Last night the Plummer
was still anchored outside. Captain
Brokaw did not bring her in. as he OBJ
iected to doing a secondhand job. The
Eleu has not fouled anything with her
propeller since Regatta Day, and peo-
pie were beginning to wonder how on
earth she managed to steer clear of :
calamity.
Alameda Sails.
The S S. Alameda. HERMAN, got

Territorial Band played her off, but J
even their inspiriting strains could not
quite dispel the depression created by
the wretched weather. The probabili
