SAYS He SAW SHIP LAMORNA
Captain of Schooner w. n. Smith Is
Bearer of Sensational Report.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, April 3
Another report of the British ship La
NORMA was received yesterday, and the
rate of reinsurance on the vessel was
reduced to so per cent. The LamOrna
left Tacoma SO days ago for Queens
town. Wreckage, with which hoated
bundle Of letters belonging to the
LamOrna'S mate, is said to have been
found few days later near the shores
of Vancouver island. A subsequent re-
port told of the washing ashore of boats |
bearing the Lamorna'S name. Bedding
and pieces of Il deckhouse were found. !
y shattered lifeboat from the ship was
picked up a sea by the steam schooner
Alliance. Then came weird tale from
the German ship Artemis, which had !
sighted the Lamorna, and whose Off !
GERS knew from the way the Britisher |
steered that there had been a mutiny
on board and that all hands had been |
drowned.
The effect of all these reports was to |
send the rate of insurance on the La
NORMA to the top notch 50 per cent |
The men of this city who play over
dues invested heavily on the LamOrna's
chances Of safe arrival at her restina-
odds weakened and under pressure of
the play the rate dropped to 50 per
cent.
Now comes report from the
schooner w. II. smith, which has ar
rived at Redondo from Clalam The
