Sea smashes Her Rndder.

The schooner Sehome, Captain Mat
ison, which left here March 3 for Ma
hukona. returned to port yesterday
steered with a jury rudder and gener-
ally badly battered by the waves
which accompanied a terrific south
easter which started March IL and
reached its climax early on March IL.
Thunder and lightning accompanied
the southeaster, but all went well
enough with the Sehone until the wind
shifted to the southwest. This stirred
UP a terrible sea. Waves enveloped
the schooner, which was almost help
less owing to the fact that the fierce
blasts had stripped off much of the 1T
tie canvas it had been possible to carry.
At 6 a. m. on Sunday, in latitude 2S
north, longitude 136 west, a big sea
struck the rudder, splitting it in six
places. The rudder at the time was
over from amidships about 25 degrees.
To ease the strain on the crippled rud-
der the fore staysail was set and the
vessel allowed to run before the wind.
So violent was the wind that no more
canvas could be set until the following
day, when it was decided to return to
this port for repairs. A jury rudder was
rugged and the Sehome came into port
late yesterday afternoon. During the
storm her decks were swept repeat
edly and cleared of everything mov-
able. Boats were smashed and she will
require an extensive overhauling be-
fore resuming her voyage.

Little Hope Remains for
Schooner Pearl or Those
That Manned Her.
THIRTY-sIX ON BOARD
Owners Here Receive Word
of Wreckage Washed
Ashore at Sanak.

From messages received yesterday
by the Alaska Codfishing Company of
this city there is little room to doubt
that the schooner Pearl bound from
this port for Sanak, has gone to the
bottom and it is feared that the thirty
six men, fishermen and sailors, who
manned her. have all been drowned.
The Pearl left here December Z and
should have reached Sanak by January
L. The fact that no word of her arrival
had reached here caused little worry,
as Sanak is out of the world in the
matter of rapid communication. 1t
was supposed that she had arrived and
her owners were looking for her re-
turn with cargo of Goldfish when they
received the first intimation, through
yesterdays Call, that their vessel
might have been lost.
Alfred Greenbaum, manager Of the
Goldfish company, received telegram
yesterday from Valdez reporting that
on March 10 the Pearl had not reached
Sanak but that wreckage from the
vessel had been washed ashore on the
island beach. The Pearls f1gurehead
and some new lumber marked as was
the lumber carried by the Pearl were
found among the wreckage.
In addition to her crew the Pearl car
ried a number of men to man the fish
ing station at Sanak. She was COM
manded by Captain Emil Soderholm.
P Linding was mate and w. Tierney,
second mate. The sailors were A. G.
Bjornstad, T. Thamson, Hans Helding
and P. Jorgensen. Cook, Hans Spell
mann.
Fishermen: F. Hunt William Spear,

The Pearl was a vessel Of SO tons.
She was built in 1886 at Benicia and
has made many trips between here and
the Alaskan fishing ports.

Reviving Memory of Brave Deed.

The gallant fight made by Captain
Cousins months ago when he saved the
steamship Queen from destruction by
fire at sea and protected his passengers
from harm, will long live in the annals
of the sea. Captain Cousins received a
medal and other tokens of appreciation
some time ago and the other day, in
Victoria, he was given one more testi-
monial. Among the passengers on the
Queen were some from Victoria. Cap
tain Cousins is now in command of the
Senator. When the Senator, which ar
rived here Friday night, reached Vic
toria, a delegation of passengers who
were on the Queen when she took fire,
boarded the Senator and presented
Captain Cousins with a handsome gold
mounted cane and an engrossed testi-
monial retelling the story of that ia
nous fight against the elements.
There is still further substantial rec
ognition in store for Captain Cousins,
for tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
the Association of Marine Under
writer's viii present to him a handsome
silver punch bowl as a mark of their
appreciation of what he did in saving
the Queen and incidentally in protect
ing the companies they represent from
q very heavy loss. The punch bowl is
an elaborate affair, bears a suitable
inscription and is said to have cost
$3.50. The presentation will take place
at the associations headquarters in the
Merchants Exchange building.

Further Interruption in
Traffic Is Anticipated

Los ANGELES, March 1s.-The rail-
road situation in Southern California,
has greatly improved during the last
twenty-four hours, and all trains are
moving tonight, though somewhat be-
hind schedules. The only mishap re-
ported to-day was on the Southern Pa

where a southbound freight train was
derailed and sixteen oars were ditched.
The line was cleared late to-day, how
ever. and traffic once more resumed.
The roadbeds Of the various lines are
still very soft from the excessive rain
fall. but as the weather has cleared no
further interruption is anticipated.

ECC-EATINC HENS.
How to Discover Them and What to
Do When They Are Detected
in the Trick.

It Is extremely disappointing to know
that the hens are laying and yet never to
get an egg. This is the case when you
have egg-eating hens. If you suspect
that your hens are eating eggs you can
easily determine to your satisfaction.
Take china egg Tor even hen egg il
you are willing to sacrifice one) and roll
it out on the floor of the pen before the
hens that you suspect. If they are egg
eaters they will. every one Of them,
make rush for the egg and pick it Wig
orously, breaking it if it is hen egg.
II they are not egg-eaters they will re-
gard the egg curiously and will make no
effort to eat it unless it is broken, and
then any chicken, no matter how inno-
cent previously, will eat eggs
Al for the prevention of this habit sew
eral remedies are offered, says the In
land Joultry Journal. Some claim that
by throwing several imitation non
breakable eggs on the floor that the
fowls, after several days Of fruitless
pecking at them, will become discour-
aged and will not break real egg even
when laid on the floor. This method does
not work every time, for some hens are
very obdurate and insist on trying to
break every egg they see. Darkened
nests are excellent to break up this hab
it. Since the hen cannot see the egg it
Is impossible for her to break it, Nests
with false bottoms, which permit the
egg, when laid, to roll down out of the
hens reach, are sure representatives. of
egg eating, but those eggs that are laid
out on the floor exposed to the attack OF
the whole flock, there is no method of
saving except by sacrificing the hen
that does the eating.

HOW TO SET A HEN.
It Is Not the Simplest Thing in the
World to Accomplish Sue
cessfully.

All the large breeds of chickens
should be Matched out during early in
the season. If the pullets have been
laying since October, there should be no
scarcity of brood mothers, but ii they
have not been laying it will be best to
secure some that have. To begin with.
it is folly to set hen where the layers
can get to her nest. A room apart from
the flock must be provided, to which the
setter should be quietly removed after
dark, the nest having been previously
arranged Place few china nest eggs
in the nest and allow the hen to set q
day or two before placing the eggs un-
der her. Dust her thoroughly with in
sect powder and put in front OF her a
supply of grit, corn and a pan of fresh
water and let her help herself at WILL
It is better to set hens by twos so that
when the broods are Matched all OF the
chicks can be put with one hen and the
other hen can be reset, says Epitomist.
In cool weather, with good care, one hen
may hatch as many as three broods with
out leaving the nest except for her usual
exercise and not be any the worse for her
nine weeks setting. Setting hen no
doubt seems to those who have never
tried it very simple thing, but never
theless, the fact remains, that not one
person in a hundred who raises poultry
knows just how to handle hen during
the Matching of her brood.
