ONE BUCCANEER LOST NERVE
JUMPED OVERHEARD WHEN DE-
SERTED BY CONFEDERATE.
Steamship Reaches San Francisco
With Tale of Piracy Unequaled
in Modern Seafaring Annals.

in Modern Seafaring Annals.
SAN FRANCISCO.-With her cap
tain dead in his cabin and bringing
a tale of piracy unparalleled in mod
ern seafaring annals the steamship
Buchanan arrived in this port today.
George Washington Wise, one of two
buccaneers who had been in irons
since he was captured early yester-
day morning, confessed that he and
French West planned to murder the
officers and crew of the steamship
before Bleaching her on the coast near
Point Blanco. That this plan would
have been carried out had it not
been for the cowardice of Wise is
the belief of the officers. After hold
ing shotgun levelled at the quar-
termaster and second mate three
hours Wise deserted his post. See
ing the futility of trying to overcome
the crew single handed West is be-
lieved to have jumped overheard.
Heavily armed and equipped with
cords to be used in tying up the
"owl watch" the two modern pirates
invaded the bridge at midnight en-
tered the wheel house and compelled
Second officer Plath and Quarter
master Otto Kohlmeister, who were
at the wheel to throw up their hands.
Leaving the second officer and
quartermaster in charge of Wise,
after binding Plath and instructing
Kohlmeister to hold the vessels nose
toward shore, West demanded en-
trance to the captains cabin. He
was refused, and fired through the
door. Capt. Wood was riddled with
buckshot
Desperate at the plight of the cap
tain Plath strained at his bonds I'M
til he could reach the signal cord
and gave the signal to the engine
room that there was fire on board
Chief Engineer Calfas ran to the
bridge, where he was met with a
command to hold up his hands. He
obeyed and joined the lineup, which
now included tWO-thirds of the crew.
West instructed them to hold to the
bridge rope which was above their
heads. Calfas jumped over the
bridge through the skylight into the
gallery West went in pursuit and
the men whom he had guarded fled
in all directions. At this iuncture
Waterman Wilson appeared on the
scene with revolver. He snapped
the weapon at Wise, but it failed
to explode. This was enough for
the weaker of the two pirates, and
he fled only to meet his partner, who,
at the point of his shotgun ordered
him to cut the wireless connections.
West began to shoot wherever a.
head appeared. Finally splash
was heard, and it was believed it was
West jumped. Wise afterwards was
discovered in hiding. According to
Wise he met French West on board
the training ship Pensacola. They
deserted the navy early this month
and went to Seattle. When they
boarded the Buchanan they were well
equipped with guns and ropes. They
had planned to rob the purser and
passengers.

Buggy at White Plains.
With his head bent over a high
