Engineers EIude Investigation
When John Birmingham, supervising
inspector of steam vessels, learned yes
terday that the little steamer Arcata
had put to sea he smiled a grim smile
and consoled himself with the remark:
'I'll be here when it comes back" The
Arcata, which sailed Wednesday for
the day, and the reason given by Cap
tain Bostrom for his return was that
the steamers boilers were leaking and
the pumps would not work. AS the
vessel had been duly inspected and
found to be all right before sailing the
captains report occasioned some sur
prise. as the federal inspectors at this
port have the reputation of being eX-
ceedingly conscientious in the perform
ance of their duty. 1t now appears
that the boilers were all right when
the ship went to sea, but that through
the neglect of the men in charge of the
engines the, safety plugs in the boilers
had been allowed to melt. Captain Ber-
mingham said yesterday:
II was reported to me; through a
semiofficial channel, that the first and
second engineers were drunk in their
hunks, instead of attending to their
duty l ordered an investi cation, but
while our inspectors were looking for
sea. III be here, however, when 1t
comes back, and we will have the in
vestigation then. The boilers were In
good condition, and there would have
been no occasion for the vessels return
If the men in charge of the engines
had done their duty"
