Sailing Vessel Nearly Wrecked at End of
Six Months Voyage

The British ship Acamas. which ar
rived in late Sunday night, 1870 days
from Rotterdam, nearly ran ashore on
the Farallon islands. Captain Hughes
says that his long passage was due to
head winds. calms, sudden gales and
fog. The vessel was on the overdue
list, quoted at 10 per cent.
The Acafnas left Rotterdam at mid
night April rs. 1t experienced strong
southwest winds at the start, but these
soon died away and were followed by
very light winds, until the vessel ap-
preached st. Johns.
From that point the winds were so
light that the vessel could make but
slow progress. In latitude As south
and longitude 60 west a sudden gale
sprang up and as the ship approached
Cape Horn the storm increased in fury
and heavy seas repeatedly covered the
decks. A sudden blast struck the ship
with such violence that it carried away
the foretopgallant yard. For four
days the storm ragged and the vessel
was driven backward at the rate of
80 miles a day, until it was back near
ly to Cape st. John.
The Acamas finally succeeded in
rounding the Horn, when it ran into
another storm, which carried away the
lifts of the lower maintopsail yard.
From then on the winds were very
light and sometimes no wind at ALL
When ii arrived off this port the fog
was SO dense that Captain Hughes
was positively cropping around in the
dark.
Suddenly the fog lifted for an in
stant and Captain Hughes saw he was
nearly ashore on the Farallones. He
barely had time to change his course
to clear the islands.
The Acamas brought 2.064 tons of
coke and 500 pigs of iron to Meyer,
Wilson & Co.

and towed the pilot boat away. The

but the fog was so dense that nothing g
could be seen. The vessel backed
away.
The steamer Newark ran into the
bulkhead of the ferry slip. and in back
ing away its rudder chain broke and
left the vessel helpless for some time.
The ferry boat Berkeley ffoundered
around while trying to land and ran
into the Oakland's pier, and the ferry
boat Oakland nearly ran into the stern
of the Berkeley. There was much ex-
citement on the boats at the time.

lots Of thirteen each. Send a batch
apiece TO some OF your sharpest GUS
toners, but make out the bills for
twelve. They'll be so tlckied to get
one coat for nothing that they'll take

The scheme had been tried before

How the Plant. wsr. Cared For.

Among the general rules adopted
were the following: No plant was to
be kept in dry, dusty atmosphere or
ever stood on the floors where there
was danger of drafts. The tempera-
ture for the day was to stand about so
and at night never be allowed to fall
below 40 degrees. To molsten the at
mosphere vessel filled with water
was placed near enough to the fire for
the hot air to evaporate some of 1t.
Fresh air slightly warmed was admit
ted to the plants when they had been
taken away from the window and COW
cred. Their room was aired every day.
Each plant was to receive daily
washing with sponge dipped In warm
water to which a tiny dash OF spirits
of ammonia had been added. They
were to be watered daily with warm.
not cold, water. Sometimes the plants
were drenched with SCOT water, which
served to enrich the soil. Liquid fer
tilizers were also put on. II a plant
showed a tendency to bloom before 1t
was needed, 1t was kept In the dark In
a cooler atmosphere, but one above
the freezing point. and taken out in
time to allow 1t to bloom. The Easter
flower display that year was unequaled
in beauty and variety, and the Potted
Plant club is now an institution in the
community. MURlEL LEE.
