WHIsTLING FISH
BRIGHTEN CREW

/. NEW YORK. March 81. The
Standard Oil Companys taakship
SchuylkiIl arrived from Yokohama
with the choicest assortment of deem
sea yarns that has hit this port in
many a moon.
Not only did the ship narrowly es-
cape laundering in a near typhoon in
the China sea in which one of the
Chinese crew was lost overheard. but
the remainder of the men persisted
in thinking that they were pursued
by the dreaded "Banshee" of that
region.
weird whistle that seemed to
pursue the ship added to their fears.
Joss sticks were burned and prayer
papers thrown overheard in vain.
Finally in hopes of propitiating the
spirit they seized upon a chow dog
belonging to the first mate and threw
il over the side. The whistIing
ceased Immediately but when First
Mate Fitzgibbons hears of the fate of
his dog. there was more trouble
] He found the Cinnamon praying be-
fore an idol through a portfolio, he
rolled up his sleeves and proceeded to
pummel the superstition out of his
crew: When he finished there was no
further talk of Chinese Banshees
The strange whistling which caused
the trouble was made by the famous
whistling fish of the China sea, ae-
cording to Fitzgibbons.

MYSTERY OF SEA
NOW IS CLEARED

SAN FRANCISCO, April S.-one of
the many mysterious tragedies of the
sea in which vessel and crew have
sailed from port and never been
heard of again has been solved by a
message fnclosed in tightly sealed
bottle which was picked up by an
English channel steamer off the Liz
ard and then forwarded to the British
Board of Trade. The vessel in ques-
ton is the British steamer Nutfield,
carrying crew of twenty-four men,
which sailed from Norfolk for Havre,
December IL, 1904, and never was
heard of afterward.
The disappearance OF the Nutfield
was Investigated by a court. of in
qufry in London in July, 1905, and the
facts of the case, as brought out at
the inquiry and the subsequent adj
miralty proceedings were briefly as
follows:

on the Tyne On December 10, 1904,
the Nutfield arrived at Norfolk, Va,
where 326 tons of coal were taken on
board. On the following day the yes

LOVER
PASSENGER RATE

That the Pac1flc Mail and the IOyO
Kisen Kaisha viii reduce the trans
Pacific passenger tariff in intermedi.
ate steamers to the original low fig
ure, is a prediction now freely offer
ed through the far east at the time
the liner Mongolia departed for Ho-
nolulu.
In boosting the rate from San Fran
cisco to Hongkong or Manila from
S115 to $175, both companies operat-
ing opt from San Francisco are said
to have suffered marked reduction
in business heretofore routed over a
number of vessels in the intermedi-
ate service. A decided falling off in
the passenger traffic in the Persia,
China, Nile and Nippon Maru has been
noted
As a result of the radical advance
in rates, a considerable amount of
passenger traffic has been diverted
by the way of Seattle, where liners
in the Nippon Yusen Kaisha have
is made that accommodation similar
in many particulars can be secured
by the northern Japanese line for
fifty TO sixty dollars less.
1t is said that the Japanese line
operating out of the northern port was
quick to take advantage Of the oppor-
tunity when the intermediate rate
out Of this port was raised.
The NIPPON Yusen Kaisha promptly
lowered it3 rate, which previously
had been gher than the San Fran
cisco rate. ID the effect was simmedi-
ately motto in the number booking
out of this rt.
Although be local and Japanese
agencies hs taken no action to re-
store the per intermediate rate.
It is expect hat conference will
be held in q ear future.
