COASTER POMONA, WITH MANY PASSENGERS is
RUN INTO OFF POINT REYES BY THE WESTPORT
Stranded Maggie Is
Pulled Out of
Breakers.
Hope of Saving the
Drunburton Is
Abandoned.

The fog that within a comparatively
fer hours has caused the stranding in
and near this port of the big British
-rf. DrumburtOn. the schooner James
a Garfield and the steamers Newburg
and Maggie, was responsible for col
usion OF Point Reyes early yesterday
morning between the passenger laden
steamer Pomona and the steam schoon-
er Westport. Both vessels were dam
AGED. but reached port in safety and
without any loss Of life. although the
Pomona s passengers received a bad
scare.
The Pomona was bound for this port
from Eureka with 100 passengers. The
Westport, in ballast, left here Sunday
for Westport. The vessels met at a
point about seventeen miles northwest
Of Point Reyes at 1 o'clock yesterday
morning.
The sea was calm, but a heavy fog
hung over the water. According 10 the
stories told yesterday, the watch on
each boat was aware Of the other yes
seTs approach. Whistles were blown,
danger signals sounded. voices rang out
in the night and then came the crash.
The Westport, head on, struck the Po-
mona amidships, and only the steam
er's stout guard prevented the schooner
from cutting through her plates. As 1t
was, the Westport got the worst Of it.
Her whole stem was driven in and some
Of her planking damaged. A forward
bulkhead saved her from sinking.
Before the Westport's stem caved in
il had cut through the POmona's guard,
bent three or four Of her plates and
sr9ashed an awning stanchion on the
upper deck. The denting Of the plates,
slight as it seemed from the outside,
cracked one of the Pomona's ribs and
SO twisted the jOinery Of one Of the
staterooms that two women passengers,
awakened and scared half 10 death by
the 5ar. found the door Of their room
tightly jammed. In the confusion that
followed the collision their screams
were not noticed. and by the time the
P0m0na's crew had broken down the
5ammed doors the women were in a
state Of collapse. They soon recovered
however. but refused to return 10 their

Joint Amiction.

When the Halliday twins were ba-
bies their mother always referred to
them collectively. This was natural
enough. for they shared everything
from their baby carriage to chicken
poX.
As they grew n little older, however
there were slight differences between
Elnora and Eudora, but Mrs. Halliday
took no account of them. When they
had reached the age of seven. she still
referred TO them in a way which struck
casual listeners as amusing.

AN AFRICAN ADVENTURE.
Paul du ChaIIIu's First Encounter
With n Monster Gorilla.

Paul du ChaIIIu's First Encounter
With n Monster Gorilla.
In his Explorations and Adventures
In Equatorial Africa" Paul du Chaillu
tells of his first encounter with a go
rilla-
I'VE saw an immense one coming
straight toward US out of the woods y
he wrote. las he came he gave vent
to terrible bowls of rage, as much as
to say, L am tired of being pursued
and will face you
1T was lone male, the kind which
is always the most ferocious. This fell
low made the woods resound with his
roar, which is an awful sound. resem-
bling the muttering of distant thunder.
He was about twenty yards off when
we first saw him. l was about to take
aim and bring him down where he
stood when my most trusted man, Ma
laonen, stopped me, saying in a whis-
per, Not time vet
I'VE stood in silence, gun in hand.
The gorilla looked at us for minute
or so, then beat his breast with hts
gigantic arms-and what arms he had!-
then gave another howl of defiance and
advanced upon us. How horrible he
looked!
"'Not yet whispered AIalaonen.
again the gorilla made an advance
upon US. Now he was not twelve yards
off. His face was distorted with rage.
His huge teeth were ground against
each other so that we could hear the
sound. The skin of the forearm was
drawn forward and backward rapidly,
making his hair move up and down
and giving a tiendish expression to his
hideous face. Again he roared, a sound
which shook the woods like thunder.
1t seemed as If l could feel the earth
trembling under my feet. The beast
looking us in the eye and beating his
breast, advanced again.
Don't fire too soon.' said Malaonen.
II you don't kill him he Will kill you
This time he came within eight
yards of us before he stopped. l was
breathing fast with excitement as 1
watched the huge creature. Malaonen
only said, STEADY" as the gorilla came
up. When he stopped Malaonen said:
"'Nowr
''And before the beast could utter the
roar for which he was opening his
mouth three musket balls were in his
body. He fell dead. almost without a
struggle"

Rossini's Reminder.

King Louis of Portugal years ago
promised to send ROssini n pipe of
port of a vintage of which specimens
have only been preserved in the royal
cellars. The wine did not arrive, but
the maestro was not a man to allow a
promise to be forgotten. Accordingly
he took up his pen and indited to his
Portuguese majesty the following re-
minder: You promised me some port
wine, sire, and it has not arrived.
Your majesty has certainly not forgot
ten your promise, for sovereigns never
forget, but allow me to remind you tina t

Reading the Line. ut the wrist.

The raScettc. or magic bracelet, is,
according to authorities on palmistry,
to be found at the base of the hand
and forms the line or lines which
mark the junction of hand and wrist.
One such line, if unbrOken. deep and
strongly marked, is supposed to fore
tell happy life and to indicate calm
ness of disposition. II the line is
chained-that is, crossed and recrossed
by numerous small lines-the indica-
ton is of a life of labor Two such
lines indicate happiness ard long life,
while three form the magic bracelet,
adding great riches to the other bless
ings. The addition of the third lire to
the other two is rare.

Rosin For Waterproof.

Rosin is used to form waterproof
paper for use in butchers shops. fish
markets and also for building pur-
poses, and, strange to say, this i'm
prOvement reduces the cost of the pa
per- All methods of applying rosin in
solution after the paper is finished add
heavily to its cost and also render it
very brittle, but If the rosin is dis
solved in potash and mixed with the
pulp in the beating engine and this
alkali afterward treated with alum it
becomes neutralized and washed away,
leaving the finely diffused rosin
throughout the whole mass.
1t is also used for protecting the
coarser manufactured products. such
as agricultural implements, against
rust by mixing it in q solution with
benzine. This is applied as varnish.
and the benzine rapidly dries away.
