"Off Point Pedro" shouted Nc
Gowan.
BY this time quite a crowd congre-
gated on the bluff Mrs. MCGOWAN, P.
J. Fleming and his wife arrived. and
the four shouted encourag cement to the
bewildered sailors. AS the ship was
only fifty yards from shore voices could
be distinguished plainly.
E. J. Scott, a fisherman whose cabin
is built in the lee of the bluff, near
where the doomed vessel lay, heard the
crash of the bombs. He Joined the
crowd on the bluffs with a lantern that
could be distinguished family bv those
on board the ship.
Cant some one come out with a
boat?" was shouted from the vessel.
"All right answered Scott. He hur-
ried TO his cabin and launched small
boat that he uses in his trade. Guided
by the shouts of the Drumburton' s
crew and the flare Of an occasional
rocket, the intrepid fisherman rowed
through the darkness to the vessel s
side and boarded her.
After hastY consultation Captain
Thomas decided to send Second Mate
William Mcdonald and seaman
ashore to seek assistance. Scott rowed
them back Luckily the sea was not
rough or the little fishing boat would
have been swamoed. The mate was

and listening for the terrifying crash
of breakers that they expected mo-
mentarily.
CAPTAINS WIFE ON BOARD.
Wrapped in a cloak the captains
wife waited beside her husband She
had left a hospital shortly prior to the
sailing that she might accompany Cap
tain Thomas on the voyage. She was
beside him when with a lurch the Dunn
burton grounded on the rocks. Plupg-
ing forward the ship settled on the bed
that will be its tomb. There was no
confusion when the shock came.
The crew prepared to launch the
small boats. but as the ship remained
motionless even in the trough of the
sea. Captain Thomas decided that it
was perfectly safe to remain on board.
Steward Joe Plum sent up rockets,
which attracted the attention of those
on shore.
Both Captain Thomas and Mate Nc
Donald say that if a tug could have
been secured Saturday night the Drum
burton might have been f1oated. Now
she lies in the clutch of the rocky
promontory that stretches like bony

which is not great owing to the heavy
insurance
Mrs. Thomas was taken from the
doomed ship by the Spreckels tug De
fiance. She was conveyed to hctel
by cousin of her husband. The cousin,
who bears the same name as the skip
per of the Drumburton ard who is alsd
a mariner, refused to permit Mrs.
Thomas to be interviewed. He said
that the shock of the disaster had
brought back her illness.

INSURED FOR BIG SUM.
The Drumburto- is a frst-class iron
ship, valued at S45 0o0 She was in
sured for $3S, 900 She had been lying
idle in Oakland Creek for several
months awaiting a charter, which she
received only few days ago. The ILL
fated ship was to 90 north and load at
Port Blakeley with lumber for Valpa
raiso. She was built by Russell in
Glasgow, Scotland, for ellison & Chad

According to Captain Thomas, short

from the tug the fog fell like a pail
over her The wind died down and she
drifted. a helpless hulk, at the mercy
of the current.
Il had nothing to get my bearings
by" said Captain Thomas. The vessel
drifted through the white mist Neither
captain nor crew knew whittier or how
swiftly the ship was going. They were
utterly helpless. They heard nothing
but the splash of the waves against the
vessels sides. They saw nothing but
fantastic shapes in the fog that seemed
to mock their bewilderment

Near Cliff.
Lifeboat Rushed
Through Surf
to Rescue.

The little steam schooner Maggie,
running between this port and HalfJ
moon Bay, ran ashore near the Cliff
House last night and is still wedged
in the sand, with the breakers pound
ing her heavily.
In the dense fog that hung over the
entrance to the Golden Gate Captain
Thomas Hogan of the Maggie miStook
the lights of Boulevard station for those
of the Cliff House. He whirled his rud
der around to sail through what seemed
the entrance of the harbor. The little
vessel struck with "a terrific shock and
remained imbedded in the sand.
The crew of the ife-saving station al
the beach rushed their boat through
the surf and pulled to the rescue. They
found the captain and crew of the
small craft unharmed. An anchor had
been dropped and the Maggie's doughty
mariners were prepared to spend the
night in the pounding surf.
The tug Dauntless steamed as close
as possible to the grounded schooner,
but could render no assistance. The
current was running rapidly and the
Maggie was close inshore.
Captain Hogan said: I'VE were
steaming up at half speed in the fog.

Captain Hogan.is confident that the
Maggie can be extricated from her po-
sition, but others are not so sanguine,
as heavy sea is running. The cap
tain and crew of seven men remained
with the vessel all night.

100 tons. She has been making two
trips day between this port and Half

craft is owned by the Stanell Company.

Vessel.

Within SO hours four vessels have
gone ashore near the entrance of San
Francisco Bay. A dense fog and un-
accountable sMiftness OF currents arc
given as the causes.
Here is a list of the disasters:

The four-master iron ship Drumbur-
ton lies jammed on the rocks off Point
Pedro. She was towed from this
port Saturday and set on her way to
Seattle. A dense fog settled upon the
ocean and in a dead calm sthe ship
drifted with the current southward
through the white silence. At about Z
o'clock Saturday night she crashed bow
foremost on the rocky bottom of the
Point.
There is little hope of her being taken
of A ragged hole is punched in her
hull and she is filed with water. The
vessel was sailing in ballast at the time
and the only loss sustained is about

i don't know how it happened" he
said. We're here. / wish we were not.
Lost my bearings? I had nothing to
take bearings by. We drifted and struck
on the rocks. That's all 1 know"
The Drumburton left port at 10 o'clock
Saturday morning. With Captain Reed
as pilot the ship was towed through
the Golden Gate, and spreading her
sails headed north.
The explanation given for her running
aground so far south is that the cur
rents bore her there. Captain Thomas
would make no statement. The chief
owner. Captain John Barneson, is sat
isfed with the theory of the strong
currents. He says that il is plausible
that the vessel was carried down the
coast and sucked ashore by the same
treacherous srush Of waters that ran
the James A. Garfield ashore yesterday
and hurled the British bark Clifford on
the rocks a year ago.
CALL THROUGH THE FOG.
At about o'clock Saturday night
the inmates Of the Point Pedro Hotel,
about mile from this graveyard OF

Pickpockets were in evidence yes
terday and were plying their vocation

Fillmore street he noticed a general
movement of several men to get off
the car. He followed them and saw
one man in the crowd pass to another
something than appeared to be his
purse. Kelley grabbed the man and
then shouted for the police. Police
man w. D. Finn placed the fellow
under arrest. He gave his name as
session, but Kelley's pocketbook was
not recovered. Ford's confederate
who received it having escaped.
Kelley said that while he was strug-
Cling with the man Ford asked, Flow
much money have you lost?" and said,

disturbance
The police think from what they
have learned that Ford and his gang
arc lot of expert pickpockets from
the East.
w. B. Levy and Thomas, Beatty were
arrested last night and placed on the
detinue book at the City Prison on sus-
picion that they were concerned in
some of the many recent pickpocket
cases that have been reported to the
police. They were exhibited, with Ford
last night to a number Of the late vic
Tins of the ight-fingered gentry. but
were not identified. Beatty has been in
jail several times on suspicion for the
same offense. The police do not know
Levy, but believe that he is a pick
pocket because he was found in Beat
tvs company.
John Grady and Joe Watkins were
arrested last night by Special Police
man Patrick Kindoli1 of the Southern
Pacific Company and charged at the
Southern station with grand larceny.
The men are accused of having
