though the skipper had not been IN
very good health for some time past.
II Is believed that his recent difficulty
with an army qnartermaster captain
at n former visit of the Dix at Homo
lulu. preyed upon his mind to some
extent. Captain Ankers had been
temporarily relieved of his command
as stated in the Bulletin at that
time. Ankers was for years In com
mand of the Dix and he was on leave
at the time of his death. His death
came as a shock to his friends as il
was believed that he had completely
recovered his health. Ankers was one
OF the best known mariners on the
Pacific. Before entering the govern
ment employ he was in the Pacific
Mail service.

II Is predicted that the United
States army transport Sheridan will
make slow trip to San Francisco
