Used in Decoration
Of Ships.
Masters of Vessels in Port Join
in the Celebration of
the Holiday.

Christmas day was not celebrated in
very ostentatious manner along the water
front. Many of the vessels in the harbor
had branches of evergreen at the mast
head and a few of them were decorated
with signal flags. The vessels noticeable
by reason of, their decorations were the
Sonoma and Lady Wentworth and the
transports Sheridan and Thomas.
Three hundred apprentices from the
English vessels in the harbor sat down to
a dinner given by the Seamens Institute
at the hall on East street yesterday. They
spent several hours in disposing of all the
good cheer and edibles provided by the
institute, and returned to their various
ships grateful and pleased.
Boatman Harry Johnson rescued two
men from the waters of the bay early
yesterday morning. They are Joe Ander-
son and Charles Christensen, sailors.
They got into an argument over their
swimming abilities, with the result that a
wager was made that Anderson could not
beat Christensen swimming to Goat ISL
and. The men started on the race, but
the water was cold and becoming fright
ened they shouted for help. Johnson
heard their cries, put off in boat and
pulled them out of the water twenty feet
from the end of Folsom-street pier, their
starting point
The steamer Sonoma is scheduled to sail
for Sydney via Honolulu to-day at 10
am She will leave on time if the colo
nial mails are not delayed.
The captain of the American ship Aryan
has not very good memory, and to his
forgetfulness is due the prevention Of his
ship leaving port. The shipping laws pro-
vide that all vessels shall be inspected at
least once year. The Aryan's captain
forgot that more than a year had elapsed
since his ship had been inspected, and in
consequence when he tried to clear yes
terday he was notified that his ship could
not leave port until the local inspectors
had passed upon her serviceability. AS
the Aryan is loaded with grain for the
United Kingdom the captains lack Of
memory is likely TO prove costly.
The America Maru is the next vessel
due to arrive from the Orient. The Aus
tralia, from Tahiti, is due here any day
The only deep water vessel to leave the
harbor yesterday was the big schooner
Helene. She sailed for Honolulu.
Andrew SivertSan was treated at the
Harbor Hospital yesterday for burns in

the fluid had been thrown into his face
by Jealous woman.

Houston to the Rescue.

Finally Houston dashed down the steps
which Henery had been seeking blindly
and holding on to the rail swept his
hands about him. They came in contact
with Henery's PROSTATE form and in a
moment the fireman was dragged into the
air, but SO blistered that he was scarce
recognizable. Then came time of suffer
ing for the unfortunate man. The vessel,
bereft of power to stem the wind and cur
rent, drifted about helplessly. For hours
the craft was at the mercy of wind and
wave, and during all this time Henery,
despite all the efforts of his shipmates
suffered intensely.
At a. m. yesterday, when the Gualala
was fifteen miles south of Bowens Land
ing, the steamer National City was sight
ed. and blue rocket summoned her to the
aid of the lumber schooner
All possible speed was made by the
National City after she had taken the
schooner in tow and at noon yesterday
she reached port. Henery was taken to
the Harbor Hospital, where his blistered
body was dressed. He was then sent. to
the Marine Hospital He is terribly
burned and 1t is not expected that he will
recover. Henery is a single man and re-
