Andrew WEIGH Almost Wrecked.

The bark Andrew WEIGH, after a
quick trip of fourteen days from Homo
lulu with cargo of 26,629 bags of, su-
gar. was unfortunate in having "a
narrow escape from going upon Mon
tara reef. several miles south of the
Golden Gate. According. to, the caps
tain of the bark, at 7:30 O'Clock yes
terday morning the Welch, in a dense
fog and calm, drifted to within a mile
and d half of the reef, where many
good ships have left their bones. Out
of the fog, bound from San Pedro, the
steam schooner Alcazar appeared, and
the captain of the helpless bark was
not long in striking bargain for a
tow to San Francisco. The Alcazar
reached port with the bark about mid
day. Passengers in the Andrew WEIGH
from the Islands were NJ H. Taylor, r.

zsalandla's Engines Rewarded.

On her last trip to Honolulu something
went wrong with the boiler tubes of the
Oceanic Steamship Company's Zealand
ia. Owing to the strike in the Islands
the boiler makers would not make the
repairs, so Chief Engineer Kellar and
his men had to do the best they could,
says the Call The steamship was fixed
up as we'll as possible under the cireum-
stances and start was made for San
Francisco. When twenty-four hours out
the tubes began TO leak again, SO Cap
tain Dowdell put back to Honolulu,
where Chief Kellar and his men worked
night and day until a good job had been
made, and the Zealandia came home in
good time and without mishap.
/ When John d. Spreckels, president of
the Oceanic Steamship Company, was
told of how faithfully the engineers and
crew had worked, he at once ordered
that each man be given a bonus of a
months pay The following letter tells
the rest of the story:

j. d. Spreckels, Esq.-Dear Sir: APP
preciating your liberal treatment of the
Zealandia's engineers in the matter of
the extra work done. by them while lying
at Honolulu during her last voyage, the
Marine Engineers Association desires to
express, hereby, the thanks of the or
ganiZation therefor.
In addition to the pecuniary compensa-
ton it cheers the wageworker and ami
mates him with desire to continue his
efforts when met by the kind recogni-
ton accorded by you in this case, which
we will endeavor to keep in memory, and
we believe that such actions as yours
go far toward bridging the gulf which
has been, unfortunately, placed between
employer and the employee by the spirit
of the times

Many details yet remain to be per-

steamers will work in conjunction with

slerra's Men Well TIT ated,

The day before the Sierra sailed for
Honolulu thirty firemen were taken off
the vessel Walking delegates visited
Mr.. Spreckels and admitted to him that
the men were more than satisfied with
the treatment they have received, but
were compelled to leave the vessel
through sympathy, with the ofher uf,-
ions. Mr. SpreckeIs asked whether the
food he furnished the men was not
better than that the regulation called
for, and they said it was. He then
told them that the action In taking
men off his ships simply had a ten
dency to drive men like himself into
joining the Employers Association. He
said he was PERFECTLY satisfied with
his men, and stated that they had
been in his employ many years. The
men were replaced the day the. Sierra
sailed for Honolulu. The, SpFeekels
tugboats are still running. They are
fitted as fifeboats The men have as
sured Mr.. Spreckels that they will re-
main with the boats

NEWS OF THE WATERFRONT

~ HE DANGER from fire which at
all times threatens the shipping
Il and lumber districts was forcibly
shown during the Hall building confia-
grafton on Tuesday morning. Had the
wind at the time been blowing as hard
as il did an hour or two after the fire
was under control, there is a strong
possibility that the entire waterfront
would have been involved, as the lun1-
Der yards and storehouses are in. a
direct line The Legislature refused to
counte nance a proposition for protec-
ton to the waterfront from the tug
Fearless, whose prompt assistance on
saYsral occasions in the last few
months has demonstrated what pow
er the tug is as a fire boat. Captain
Erokaw made a direct offer Tor the use
of the boat as a fire patrol in the har-
Dor for a sum in the thousands for the
next two years, which was refused. Not
only can the Fearless be of invaluable
assistance to shipping along the harbor
front, but several streams of water can
be pumped with heavy force as far as
the Hawaiian Hotel with ease. AS for
water, there is plenty of it in the har-
Dor The insurance underwriters were
especially interested in having the tug
added to the fire-fighting machines of
the town, and would have borne much
of the expense to have had the Fear
