OLD EQUATOR OF
STEVEN SON IS .
GIVEN REPRIEVE

Seattle. Wash.-The old South
Sea trading schooner Equator, ia
nous as the vessel on which Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson is said to have
received the inspiration for his
story OF THE Wreckers." has been
granted a reprieye from Davy
Jones' boneyard of out-worn ships.
The Equator, for many years a
Puget sound steam tug, was about
to be discarded when it was de-
cided to open up her hull. The
frames were found to be of Port
Oxford cedar and as good, accord
ing TO marine men here, as when
she slid down the ways at Benicia
Calf, in 1888. As a result, the
vessel was recently rebuilt. her
steam engine replaced with a Die
sel-power engine, and she Will
shortly resume her career as tug.
The story goes that Stevenson
making a voyage in the Equator
then a schooner among the islands
of romance"-was sitting in the
cabin one night with a gathering
of traders, pearl fishers and others
and heard an old sea yarn that gave
him the idea for The Wreckers.
Later he recorded that fact in his
diary.
Years later the Equator was
equipped with steam engines and
in course of time made her appear
ance on Puget sound.
Her owners say she is good foI

PRICE OF HOGS
TAKING BIG DROP
Volume of Arrivals at Yards Forces
Tumble of % TO 40 Gents; Low
Grain Price Forces Sales.

Chicago, Nov. S.-Big arrivals of
hogs here today and yesterday, the
most numerous with but one ex-
cetpion since last April, have fore
ed prices down sharply both in the
hog market and in the provisions
trade.
Hogs dropped in value today, p
to 40 cents a hundredweight and
almost as much more yesterday
with all deliveries of lard and ribs
(bacon) tumbling in consequence
to the lowest prices touched yet
this season on the Chicago board OF
trade
1t was surmised that farmers
finding the grain market so low as
to afford no incentive to rural own
ers were largely holding back theil
wheat, corn and oats. and were
letting go of their hogs as a means
of obtaining ready money.
