Runs on Rocky Spit in the
Harbor After a Long
Voyage
TUGS TO THE RESCUE
Stranded Vessel Not in
Danger and May Be
Rescued Today

After coming through gale of the
Horn TO run on the mud in a harbor-
this is certainly bad ending of a 1S5
days voyage"
II was the wife Of the captain of the
four masted American ship Dirigo who
spoke thus last night under the lee of
the cabin where the ship Icy hard and
fast on the spit that runs out from the
northwest end of Alcatraz Island. The
situation was not altogether without
the element Of danger, for close under
the starboard bow and scarcely fifty
feet from the side Of the stranded ship
the black nose of Devil Rocks just
awash at high tide. marked the short
space of safe water that separated her
from 2 certain doom. II was only the
two anchors and the tug which had
line out from the stern of the ship that
held her from being impaled on the
rock, as the incoming tide and west
wind were sweeping with united force
against her port side.
The Dirigo sailed into the harbor
shortly after . o'clock without tug.
Pilot George Scott was in charge, and
Captain Goodwin was on the after deck.
When she was rounded to and the order
given to let go the starboard anchor an
accident occurred The chain jammed
in the hawser pipe and the ship swept
on broadside directly toward Alcatraz.
Quickly Mate Brooks got the port
anchor OUT but il was too late. The
ship had grounded. At the same mo-
ment the chain Of the starboard anchor
was cleared and both anchors held the
bow OF the vessel off the point of the
rock
Signaling with blue lights the cap
tain attracted the attention OF some OF
the soldiers on AlcatraZ Island. The
ship lay so close to the shore that he
was able TO talk TO them through the
megaphone and in this way got them
to telephone for a tug. At 10 o'clock
the Reliance. one Of the Spreckels Tug
Boat Company's boats, went to the as
sistance Of the vessel and began the
attempt to pull her of. But at II
O'Clock. when the tide had turned and
begun to run out, the ship was still
hard and fast aground
The Dirigo is the first steel sailing
ship built in America, having been
launched at Bath in 1894. She was
bringing a cargo OF 5000 tons of coal
from Baltimore to Mare Island for the
Government
The stranded ship lies in much the
same position as the British ship Pal
grave, which went ashore on Alcatraz
recently. It is not thought that she
viii be seriously damaged, and may
be got of with the assistance Of two
more tugs today.

passed up Market street between the

delayed traffic for some time. The troll

across the track. and. with the power
reversed from the other wire, the car
managed to get beyond the gap.
Later the broken piece was replaced,
but not until about an hours delay
had interfered with the Market-street
traffic.
