CRIMPS DRIVE VESSEL OUT.
SEATTLE (Wash.), November 10
Because her owners fear the Puget
sound crimps would take revenge for
the killing of Boarding house Runner
Harry Stubley at Port Townsend last
May, the British freight ship Morven
will probably be withdrawn from the
trade between Puget sound ports and
England. Announcement to that effect
was made by the boats agents today.
The Morven paid blood money for a
crew last spring, but when her master
learned that many of the crew had
never been inside clearinghouse he
refused to pay an additional charge of
$1,000 for clothing and board. Then the
clearinghouse tried to steal the crew,
and in a fight that followed Stubley
was shot and killed by Benjamin
Frantzen, a sailor. Frantzen was sub
sequently acquitted by the courts.
OVERDUE VESSELS.
ABERDEEN CWash.), November I3.
Fears are entertained here for the
schooner Oliver J. Olsen, which was
picked up by tug off this port five
days ago, but which broke the cable
and has not since been reported. The
barkentine George c. Perkins is long
overdue from Hilo, H. I. She sailed
two days after the schooner Geneva
left there, and the Geneva has arrived
here, loaded her cargo and departed
week ago. Something like thirty-five
vessels are overdue at this port.
MoNGOLIA'S DATE NOT FIXED.
The date of the Mongolia's sailing
has not yet been fixed, but she is ex-
pected to depart for Honolulu and the
Orient late this month, with big
cargo and many passengers. While
only temporary repairs are being made
TO the Mongolia's bottom, these are of
a substantial character and will make |
the liner absolutely seaworthy. No
commander has been appointed to sue
ceed Captain Porter, lately retired.
On the afternoon of November 8 Cap
tain Lawless was surprised to see
twelve black and white ducks flying |
overhead. They came from the east |
ward. After circling around the Mari |
posa a number of times. as if they !
were wondering what kind of an island |
the liner was, the ducks wheeled into |
line and resumed their flight, heading
due west. The ducks were 1900 miles |
from San Francisco and 1900 miles from
Hawaii the nearest land.-Call.
