CAPTAIN HAD
LOTS OF NERVE
Brought His Vessel to This Port
From Hamburg While
Leaking

Captain Henke of the German ship.
Gertrud has lot Of nerve. He brought
his ship all the way around the Horn
from Hamburg in what he knew to be
in a leaking condition and arrived
at this port safely.
Now after she has made her long
voyage in safety some of the crew are
kicking and declare the vessel unsea-
worthy Members of the crew stated
to an Advertiser reporter yesterday
that the vessel leaked at a rate of
eight inches in every twenty-four
hours He declared that the crew would
go to the captain today and ask to be
paid off.
When interviewed the captain declar-
ed that the mems stories were foolish
He said that when the vessel was leav-
ing the Elbe river she went aground
but as soon as the tide came in fioated
off safely and he then put to sea. A
number of plates We're Ioosened but he
considered that the vessel was. all right
to go to sea in. She leaked a little on
the passage but never at a rate of
more than three and one-half inches
for each twenty-four hours. The cap
tain explained that this was very little
and represented but little water as the
vessel had a sharp bottom and it took
but very little water to show three and
a half inches in the hold.
The ship is too large to go on the
marine railway for repairs to her bot
! tom but will be repaired as soon as
she reaches the Coast. Captain Henke
states that the ship will be surveyed
| before leaving this port.

SHIPS "HOBOS"
SCORE ON CAPTAIN
Get Collector of Customs to
lnfIict a Hundred Dollar
Fine.

The 'shobo'' sailors who came to Ho-
nolulu on the ship Erskine NJ. Phelps
that they have evened matters
up with Captain Graham. Graham
says that only two men of the crowd
of twenty are sailors and that the rest
are anything from vagabonds to nobos.
Now the alleged hobos have turned the
tables and shown the captain that they
know just trihe about the laws of the
seas-iust enough to know that when
the ships articles are posted up in the
sailors quarters the reading matter on
the sheet of paper must be posted out
ward and not face against the wall so
that the sailors may not be able to read
If Yesterday Collector of Customs
Stackable inflicted a fine of 500 on
Captain Graham for not having the
ships articles posted in the proper way.
The sailors had drawn the attention of
a customs office man to the irregularity.
The articles were posted by the mate
of the vessel. He says that when he
went down into the fo'c'sle to put them
up that it was dark and he put them
up wrong by mistake. The sailors had
been shanghaied aboard the vessel sc
they carefully watched the paper and
saw that it was not molested. By leav-
ing it as it was originally posted they
had an opportunity of getting back a
the captain. Captain Graham has beer
| fined merely on a technicality. HI
probably did not know that the arti
cles were posted in the manner tina
brought about the trouble with the au
thorities here.

OF ON Hunting Trip.

There was gay little party of we'll
known people aboard the steamer Hell
enc when she left for Hawaii ports
yesterday. On the wharf the Terrific
rial band played some of the choicest
of Hawaiian airs, and leis were numer-
Gus.
The reason for these gayeties on the
occasion of the departure of an island
steamer was because Col. Sam Par
ker had a party of friends aboard who
are off for a hunting and pleasure trip
to Hawaii. The trip was organized to
entertain Senator John w. Burton, and
judging by the happy smile worn by
Col. Parker just before the steamer left
he intends to do. the honors in the royal
style for which he is famous. The par
ty included Col Parker. Senator Bur
ton, Col w. H. CornweIl, W. NJ Gift
fard, II. H. Renton, Capt J. Ross and
]. T. McCrosson. The Parker party
Will be landed at Kawaihae.
Delegate r. W. Wilcox was a pas
.senger by the same boat.

Classifying Eqgs.

Sorting and classifying eggs Is a
business of considerable magnitude in
any great city; but the problem of
ascertaining the relative age Of an
egg is one that is still in its primitive
stage of solution. A century ago the
farmers held their esgs up before the
sun and by squirting at them with one
eye they would tell their age nearly as
well as horseman can estimate the
teeth. Today the expert egg testers
hold their eggs up before candles in
dark rooms to find out the same re-
suits. The candles, in some cases,
are merely powerful lights shining
through an aperture into dark room;
but the eggs SO tested are called
"candled."
From this dark room the "candled"
eggs come in a steady stream classi-
fled as firsts, seconds, and thirds.
Then there are checks and dirties,
which are separated by themselves.
Refrigerator eggs form another di-
vision entirely distinct from so-called
fresh eggs. The freshness of an egg
is not always a question Of time. Heat
more than age causes decay. In hot
weather eggs in transit to market will
sometimes spoil within twenty-four
hours. In the great refrigerators
thousands of eggs two weeks and
more old will thus be fresher in taste
and appearance than the new-laid eggs
that have been exposed to the heat
A high temperature stimulates the
growth of the germs which cause de-
cay in the egg, and low tempera.
ture correspondingly checks the
growth. Consequently summer laid
eggs placed in refrigerator i'm
mediately after being laid may be
kept several months, and still sold for
fresh refrigerator eggs.-New York
Times.

ANTIPODEAN PEARL FISHING.
A Picturesque Australian Industry,

Y,
Whose Existence is Threatened.
The industries of the new common
wealth Of Australia are not picturesque
Even gold mining and sheep shearing
have, in these ordered days, lost their
romance, and the pastoralists' paradise
depicted by Henry Kingsley in "Geof-
frey Hamlyn" no longer exists. There
is one industry, however, which retains
to-day many of those old elements of
picturesqueness, romances, peril and
adventure which had so much to do
with the magnetism which Australia
once exercised over the minds of the
wild spirits of the motherland. I mean
the pearl fishing trade of northern Aus
tralia. For thousands of miles off the
northern coasts of the commonwealth
there are rich beds of pearls, and upon
the exploitation of these sea treasures
communities in western Australia. the
Northern Territory and Queensland,
numbering some forty-tWo hundred
souls, depend for livelihood either as
divers, crews of luggers Or dependents
of the pearlers. Weird stories are told
the men who hew away the tons upon
tons of the precious shell from the bot
tom of the ocean. Separated by thou
sands of miles of desert and sea from
the great civilized centers at the States
capitals, the Australian pearlers are to
the inhabitants of Sydney and Mel
bourne much the same as the heroes of
Jules Verne romance or a BalIan-
tyne's story book, But within the last
three months the pearlers have been
dragged on to the political stage, and
the very existence of their industry Is
at stake. For the Australian pearl
shell trade is an alien trade, and is car
ried on almost entirely by colored
races; and the fiat has gone forth from
the polling booths that the. white
Australia" policy is to be faithfully
carried out. There was time when off
western Australia, os off Thursday Is
land, Queensland, few white divers
wrested from nature her bounty; but
soon the black man came, and with
him low wages, a low standard of COM
fort, but sufficient ability to do the
work of pearl fishing. The colored
man learned the business quickly, and.
except as a manager, owner or clerk in
the stores on shore, the white man dis
OF the 25O5 men in the
pearling trade off the north shores of
west Australia, only one hundred and
ten are Britishers or European, the re-
mainder being Asiatics and other COL

BOUGHT BY WATER co.

The New Haven Water company has
purchased the entire property of the
Hamden Manufacturing company in
Augurville comprising ten acres of land
and buildings bordering on Mill river.
The property was acquired for the pro-
lection of the company's water supply,
and is one of number of such pur-
chases made by the company during
the past five years along the water
shed. The Hamden Manufacturing
company will vacate the premises
shortly and will move elsewhere. 1t
is one of the oldest manufacturing COM
panies near New Haven, having beenn
established about fifty years ago. The
late w. A. Ives conducted the business
for a number of years making augurs
and built up quite a large export trade.
