TO COME into PORT

- SSb1NS NaNhS 80
Straining at her anchor chains all
night and all day, and in momentary
danger Of dragging the mudhooks and
drifting on the reef, the French bark
Theirs, which had been lying at the
outside anchorage for several days, was
compelled to come inside the harbor
last evening in tow of the tug In.
trepid.
The heavy ground swell caused the
bark to rear and plunge in the wallow
| and at each rise of the bow the an
Choir chains were strained to the limit.
During the forenoon yesterday it was
rumorcd that the vessel had broken
her mornings and was drifting onto
the rocks and that tugs had been sig
nailed for to go to her assistance. This
was not the case, but Young Brothers
kept in close communication with the
vessel by launch and flag signals.
At the Naval Station, Captain Moses
kept close watch on all signals dis.
PLAYED He did not think the vessel
was in danger, or the master of the
bark would have lowered all his top
hamper. Had there been the slightest
activity aloft on the Frenchman, the
naval authorities would have gone to
| assist. The naval tug 1roquois, how
| ever, was out of commission, repairs
| hainU made IN her hOilprs
Late in the afternoon the tug In
| trepid went out to the Theirs, event
| ually passed lines aboard and received
the ships hawser, and the big vessel
was brought into port shortly after 5
| clock.
Two huge passenger liners passed in
to port yesterday morning with full
cargoes and large passenger lists. The
Manchuria of the Pacific Mail line came
in from Yokohama, and after diseharg
ing 1904 tons here in remarkably quick
time, departed at 5 O'Clock for San
Francisco taking large number of pas,
sengers from here.
The Makura of the Canadian Austria.
liam line, arrived from Vancouver and
Victoria, and departed at p. m. for
the Colonies. She brought a number
of passengers for this port. Among
them was Mr.. Dodd, of the local cable
office who has been spending a vaea-
ton in Canada. Mrs. Ramsay is the
wife of naval officer aboard the aux.
| iliary cruiser Buffalo. The freight land.
| ed included 200 drums of Goldfish and
100 cases of wiskey. Among the de.
parting passengers were Mr.. Hugh Nc.
Intyre and sister, Miss Mcintyre, who

land, Australia and Samoa.
The fake Syrian priest, who attempt.
| ed to blk the local public, as he has
done elsewhere, left for the Colonies.
The moment he went aboard the steam
| err he attempted to ingratiate himself
with cabin passengers, but got the cold
| shoulder. In the last few days the
faker worked in the residence districts
and sought money from the wives of
well-known church people. The tip Civ
en- by the Advertiser as to his identity,
however, prevented him from getting
much coin.
