mate, says the ships are in frst-class
condition with the exception Of the
boilers, which are very old, and which
are now giving some trouble. The ves-
sells we're built in England in 1899 and
had been in service only short time
when Deweys guns Numbered out their
temporary doom.
Mr.. Watson returned home on the
transport Hancock, and was one Of
the large number OF troops and blue
Jackets shat experienced so much diff
Guilty on the trip. They started from
Manila on the Sheridan, which ran into
a typhocn and was badly damaged, be-
ing compelled to return TO Nagasaki.
Then the men-over 900 invalided and
discharged soldiers and 154 bluejackets
took passage on the transport War
den. The pilot succeeded in putting
this vessel on the rocks in the inland
sea, of the Island OF Moji. and she
was so badly damaged that she could
not proceed. and was repaired only at
enormous cost to the government. The
men went 20 Kobe. remaining there
until the arrival OF the Hancock.
Mr.. Watson has quit the service and
will settle down to civil life in Tilla-
nook county. He says that, as a rule,
he has found naval commanders very
agreeable, and that the men who be-
have themselves have no difficulty in
the service.

I'd Wednesday night and yesterday
morning. Commencing az midnight
the wind blew a gale, and d0mage was
done about the harbor that will prob
ably reach $4,000. The greatest dam
age was done In the eastern portion
~ the city where Hale & Kern have
been working on the Sylvia de Grasse
reef Three barges were used In this
work, two being dredges and the third
"a dril scow Early in the morning
the dHll scow and one Of the barges
broke from their moorings and were
driven into the railroad trestle The
dredgr struck near the old Eagle cam
merry and was quite badly dmaged, the
house being demolished The drill
sc0w struck some distance east and
sank, after being battered against the
trcstle Tor a time. The track was dam
aged for a distance of 100 feet or more.
The scow which was lost carried much
valuable machinery A small scow
loaded with dynamite went adrift and
crafhed into the trestlc. but the dyna-
mite did not explode. II Is expected
the accident will result in a lengthy

THE MORNING AsroRIAN. FRIDAY DECEMBER 81. 1901

Christmas was generally observed In
Astoria. The stores remained open for
n short time during the morning. but
after the noon hour business was sus.
pended. A. tho churches special mu-
sic was rendered and the attendance
at the services was large. Christmas
trees were features at several churches
after the morning services and the
children all received presents. Chahta-
bly inclined people saw TO Il that the
needy enjoyed n good Christmas din
ner and perhaps there was more good
cheer in AStoria than in any other
city of lls size on the coast.
