OF interest is the following from
Town TAXI"
Naval oficefs have been amused that
some papers have held tie Navy re-
sponsible for the loss Of the transport
Sheridan. The fact 10 that the Navy
had Nothing whatever to DO with the
Sheridan or any other transport. The
Army transport service IL conducted
by the Quartermaster's Department OF
the War Department, its oficers being
men from the merchant service. There
Is an Army qusrtefmaster on each
transport who represents the War De-
partment directly, but the navigation
Is wholly In the hands Of ofhcers from
civil life. Captain Thomas Peobody,
who commanded the Sheridan when
she went ashore, Is q navigator OF long
well acquainted with Ha-
wAiian waters, and from Information
now at hand the stranding Of his ves-
sci was due, not to any error In navi.
CATION, but to the bursting Of a steam
pipe when the ve9sel was In a critical
position, near a lee shore. where her
lack Of motive power after the break
ing Of the important pipe rendered her
unmanageable. Peabody's ability as
q navigator in waters all over the
globe has been recognized, for years,
and his present misfortune has aroused
the sympathy Of many friends In San
Francisco, where he and his family
have made their home for the past six
years. In past years. when he CON-
manded sailing ships, Captain Peabody
usually. carried Mrs. Peabody and hi,
young daughter with him on his long
voyages, and at one time. when his
ship caught IRE. he and his family had
10 take to the boats To save themselves
from the burning hull.
