SEATTLE. Feb. ll.-"lhe steam- ship Delhi waa wrecked on tho same rock in sumner Strait on which Cap tain Vancouver came to grief some- ching moro than century ago Inink of it-one rock struck by two vessels a century or so apart and not one dot on a chart to show the existence or such a menace to navigation. If Uncle sam would quit hammer.ng Che trusts or nacify Neeo Cruz long enough 10 save few pennies to spend oa cnar6 Ing Alaskan waters there would pc some object in going to sea.
 Thus orated Chief Engineer Jesse 4. Callow ol the steamship Delhi that was wrecked in Sumner strait, as he camo down the gongplank from che steamship Al-Ni yesterday afternoon and greeted his bride, AYiatrice Alys sfcKey.B .BryantCallow, says tho Scat to Times.
 Im through being sailormon, he cont uucd. "Any time cat knows more about Che brlny deep than ] do. it's time for me to quit. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company has my res ienotion and has he'd it ever since one second alter the Delhi struck in Sum ner Suoit Monkey. tho ships cat, deserted i've minutes before the Delhi left Seattle. Monkey had a hunch and played lt. had @ hunch and didn't"
 Injured Performing Duty.
 Ccllow aaved tho g1rments in which he was attired when the vessel struck plus two photographs of his wife, that he dragged from his cabin while the water rushed in through the ports. : Likewise Callow brings back with him Q number of angry red sears on fase and arms, mementos of his return to tho engine room to shut off the rac- : ing engines. Something had gone wrong with the main steam line and Callow sustained severe burns while completing his duty
 It isn't Q case Of cold feet with me-, said Callow 'bpt the sailorman who goes Co Alaska in the present uncharted condition of the waters up thero is a fool or madman. And che thing that makes me angriest oi ian is tho fact than Monkey played h.s hunch
 heretofore it has been caco of all hondo on dock to get that fool ! cat off the ship, but just a few mo ments before We sailed, Monkey tore i Into my cabin where 1 was talking to ] Mrs. callow md some friends, rushed around us Gs though contemplating having a first-class iit; changed his mind. end, after moving pitoously Q couple of times. ran to the rail, and jumped from there to the landing plat form where it eat and howled for all Che world Ike CT Alabama hound watching the moon
 That eat haz hunch,' told Mrs f Callow, "and if had any sense, I'd play it also But I didn't My wife went asaore and took Monkey home with her and we wont booming ID the coast end pretty soon. We went Dang right on the rock
 rho next time ] 90 calling it will be in a hydroplane, and my wife win be pilot and Monkey win be our mas cot Also believe me. any time Mon : key seems to want to do somethne else worse than going on 9 trip, I'm going to stay home also.
 l Discussing the efforts 10 salye Che Delhi the officer said:
 ! "The British columbia Salvage com. panys ship Salvor arrived in good time |and excellent progress was being made Wc had Q camp on shore and spent lalI day on tho Delhi toiIing to a.d the ! salvage efforts. They put a biz S5.00o ! gasoline pump aboard of her, two bis steam pumps worth S6,cO0 and ar $500 donkey engine. On Friday evening we wove congratulating ourselves that the osa would not be 90 great as first an-
 icipated The next morning we got I'D and looked out toward the reef but no Delhi was in sight
 Apparently she had slipped off the reef and sunk in deep water during the n'ght. as there was not even one bit ] Of wreckage to indicate that she had i ever been on Che reef. The salvage : company lost its pumps-and the rest of us lost our jobs-at least in SO far ! as the Delhi was concerned
