STEAM SCHOONFRS
COLLIDE IN FOG
Iaqua Strikes the Acme Near
Humboldt Bay and Nearly
Sinks Her

Steaming slowly through the fog and
keeping close to shore, the coasting
schooner Acme, Captain Oleson, in a
waterlogged condition and with a large
hole in its side, had great difficulty
reaching this port yesterday from Eu-
reka. Last Friday the Acme and the
schooner Iaqua, Captain Hansen, left
Eureka together, and later collided. A
heavy fog hung over Humboldt bay and
both vessels were trying to get out
of the harbor at the same time, the
Acme going ahead slowly. feeling her
way through the fog, the Iaqua follow
ing the Acme only a few hundred feet
in the rear.
Suddenly Captain Hansen discovered
the Acme only a few yards distant.
The master of the Acme evidently OBJ
served the Iaqua at the same moment.
Both vessels reversed their engines, but
too late to avert collision. The IaQua
hit the Acme amdiships, tearing a large
hole in the latter vessels side.
The Iaqua arrived in port shortly
after 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
The captain brought the news of the
collision and shipping men along the
front expressed fears for the Acme
until that vessel entered the harbor
late in the afternoon.
The Iaqua proceeded straight to
Butchertown and unloaded it's cargo of
cattle and then tied up at the Third
street wharf, from which place it will
be taken to the drydock this morning.
The extent of the damage sustained
by the Acme could not be ascertained
as it went up the river to unload.

Members OF the Crew of the
Anubis Make Charges
Against Officers
COmmissary Braun Is Accused
of Failing to Provide Proyis.
ions During Voyage

Serious charges against First Officer
John Dohrn, Second Officer Albert Oh
sen, Engineers Assistant Reimers and
Commissary Officer Braun of the KOS
mos liner Anubis are made by mem
bers of the crew as the result of an
outbreak that occurred on board the
steamer Saturday night, which ended
when a riot squad of patrolmen ar
rested six of the crew for mutiny and
locked them up in the harbor station.
The sailors assert that they will bring
their charges to the attention of the
German consul before the steamer
leaves port.
The seamen are particularly wroth
at Commissary Officer Braun, who they
assert failed to provide them with
fresh meat. They say that the officer
spent his time in Tacoma in automobile
rides. AS result, they declare, he did
not take time to purchase the meat
and that for four days during the
subsisted entirely on potatoes and
bread
The crew designated a committee of
two with Fireman John Peterson as
spokesman while Captain Won Salzen
was ashore Saturday night to approach
Braun in his quarters and ask why
they were kept on distress rations
when they knew that meat had been
provided for.
Braun, according to the men, flew
into rage and a riot followed.
According to the crew, since the YES
sci left Hamburg, Germany, several
months ago, two officers have been
drunk a large part of the time. Cap
tain Won Salzen they characterize as
'all right" and good skipper The
men say he has been kept in ignorance
of the methods of his subordinates
The officers against whom the
charges are made by the crew en-
phatically denied them yesterday and
said that there was no foundation for
the stories told about them. Their
version of the fight was that 16 of the
crew became drunk during the after
noon and led an attack on the officers
with knives and sabers.
The Anubis is scheduled to leave San
Francisco for Mexican and Central
American ports Wednesday, but may be
delayed by the dissension in the crew
The six men who are still being held
at the harbor station are Theo Often
hauser. Otto Bunk, Powell Averet, AL
fred Kisler, w. Grotbue and Gustav
Michaelis. The sailors declare they will
go to the German consul to secure the
release of their shipmates and a hear
ing of their charges against the
officers.
