NO TRACE Of
MYSTERIOUS SHIP
CAPT FIBMER OF MARU MADE
SPECIAL EFFORTS'TO LOOK FOR
SHIP REPORTED BY ALAMEDA.

There appears to be quite an element
! of doubt as to whether the vessel sight
| ed by Captain Dowdell of the >. :.
Alameda was showing signals of dis
| tress The Alameda arrived February
4 at San Francisco and a CablegTam
sent on the same day to this place an
nounced the fact of his having sighted
vessel in distress. 1t was stated that
/ the vessel might have been the overdue
/ ship Florence.
The following is what the San Fran
cisco Call has to say on the subject:
! Captain Dowdell of the steamship
/ Alameda reports that al 1880 p. m on
January 30, in latitude POS north, long
itude 1925 west, he passed a sailing
ship whose identity he was unable to
learn. The vessel showed flare signals,
and, thinking something might be
wrong, Captain Dowdell changed his
course and stood toward the light. The
Alameda burned signals and twice the
sailing vessel responded with flares.
The Alameda approached to within
about a mile of the sailing vessel,
which made no more signals. The Ala
media followed in the windjammer's di-
rection a little longer, but, getting no
more signals and seeing the vessel
standing away on her course, Captain
Dowdell decided that the flare lights

the steamship of the fact that sailing
vessel was in the vicinity. AS this
means of protection from collision is
frequently adopted and as in the event
of distress the wndjammer would have
sent up rockets the Alameda resumed
her homeward way
The vesesl was sighted when about
j11 miles from Oahu.
On the strength of Captain Dowders
ha tl, I,i Ia,
ence dropped from 10 to 60 per cent.
While there was a disposition on the
} part of some seafaring people to think
that Captain Dowdell should have
stood by until the morning in order to
have made certain that the unknown
vessel did not use the blue rockets
which is the honored and legal sigma
of distress at night. The hare-up light
is used as a means of preventing col
lision, and as the article in the Call
stated, this was evidently why the un-
known vessel was using the fiare-up
lights.
Captain Filmer of the Hongkong Ma
I'll which arrived yesterday from San
Francisco took special pains to find
trace of the unknown vessel. Calcu-
, lating for the set of the current and the
fact that the sailing vessel was prob
ably under way Captain Filmpr kept
, a special lookout for trace of her in a
slightly different position than that re-
ported. On Monday night at 10 o'clock
the Hongkong Maru passed Lat. 2S.55
/, north, Long. 149 west, which in the OPP
infon of Captain Filmer, would have
been the most likely place that the
strange vessel would have reached by
the time the Hongkong Maru came by,
1t was very clear night and anything

No trace whatever was found, so the
