The San Francisco call., 1906-11-10


green now as when they listened TO
fairy tales nine months ago and signed
the Gotams' s. articles I'm the belief that
they had been let in on the ground floor
of the temple of good fortune.
The five men who deserted at the La
drones and who returned here Thurs
day on the liner Korea are the only
green hands who really enjoyed their
adventure. and their fun did not begin
until they had left the Gotams.
George =. Allen. a barber Of Boston,
Mass. who shipped as a green hand
on The Gotama. was seriously I'll for
the first sixteen days of the cruise, and
complains bitterly Of the treatment he
received Al the hands OF Captain Wing
While stiu confined 20 his bunk in the
Gotams's forecastle the invalid was in
terviewed by HIS unsympathetic ply
siCisn. Allen was too weak to raise
his head.
We allow no sick men on a whaler,"
was Wings ultimatum, and I'll give
you just four days more i'm your bunk.
II you don't turn to then it'll be up
when the four days allowed for
Aliens recovery had expired Wing sent
a negro 10 bring the boy on deck.
He's too weak 10 move. sir" the ne
gro reported.
Too weak roared Wing. Pass a
heaving line down there, make ii fast
10 him and drag him up. Too weak,
III show him. I'm Scar-face Jim, and
I'd fight tiger Drag him up
All hands, however who had been
expecting Allen TO die at any time,
made & vigorous protest, and Jim, the
tiger fighter changed his tune, and
even sent the sick lad small measure
OF brandy by way Of stimulant.
The whaling schooner Carrie and
Annie. Captain Clifford, returned from
the Arctic with never an ounce Of bone
or oil. Only two whales were seen,
and these disappeare as soon as the
Carrie and Annie hove in sight The
Carrie and Annie was formerly a mis-
sionary schooner. +. J. Thomas, the
owner. who made the cruise with her
as mate, was very respondent yester-
day at his ill-luck, but like a true
whaleman. hopes for better fortune
next time.

knocks Out Stewards Eye.
4 whaleman who returned from the
north the other day. yesterday cele-
brated his first jag in many months
by knocking out the left eye Of Bin
Williams, steward on the steam whaler
William Baylies. Williams does not
know his assailant's name. and is at
a loss TO understand what prompted
the blow. The men met at Pacific and
Drumm streets. They exchanged greet
ings. Then, without any warning, the
whaleman turned loose a right swing.
The whaleman disappeared. The po-
lice are looking for him. At the Har-
Dor Hospital IL was found that VIII
Iiams' left eyeball had been ripped
open by the blow and the sight totally
destroyed

pared the Custom house paper in con-
nection with the cargo brought from
Australia The official documents that
must be prepared in connection with a

ing to the Custom house, there was not
one error in the sierra's papers.
