City officers pursued them and arrested the two near Turkey Creek, fif- teen miles north of here, returning with them this morning.

The tugs will institute a search to find her tonight and if not found she will doubtless be given up as lost. The tug boat people think she is safe, but there is cause for the gray est fear.
 The Nelson encountered the gales which prevailed early in the week and on Mon day evening was sighted off the. river in a disabled condition. Tuesday morn ing she was picked up by the tug Tatoosh which started north with the Nelson when a heavy gale came up. At 9:45 last night during the height of the storm the steel hawser parted and the light of the Nell son suddenly disappeared. leading to the belief that she had capsized, The tug Tatoosh searched all night and until noon today. but not the slightest trace of, the ship was found.
