PRONTO BOUGHT FOR $9000 noon for a trial spin, as repairs were recently completed on the ship. On returning; eh passed the lower bridges and a signal for the Morrison-street crossing had been given when the pranks began. It appears that a band on the rererae drum of one engine had slipped off and the engineer was endeavoring to replace It when near Inar the bridges, and one engine was not sulflclant to check her headway. The Anvil swung to the westward and her forward anchor was dropped to check the speed, but she dragged the mudhook and struck the dock, where she was made fast for the night. Harry Jaeokel. engineer of the Harbor Patrol, ran alongside the Anvil en seeing she was In trouble, but was unable to render assistance.

Com mlssloners O'Reilly, Inman and Spencer were appointed a committee to meet at 10:30 o'clock this morning and make the awards. A. Chrlstensen and A. Nelson bid $15 000 on the construction of the cabin and the Seattle Construction & Lry Jock Company filed a figure of I53.S00 Tor the hull. The Commission entered Into an agreement with J. B. C. Lock- wood, designer of the hull, to euperin tend construction and look after the transfer of the Columbia's machinery trom the present hulL Some changes were made in the model of the hull over that of the dredge Willamette, but it will have the same general lines.

The steamer Nestor was offered at the tame figure and the steamer Tahoma at $12,000. but the Pronto was deemed most desirable for the work.

AH Hands Enter Hold and Work Like Trojans to Shift Sand Bal last Snnday Calm Delays Return to Columbia River. ASTORIA. Or, Dec. 1. (Special.) The Norwegian ship Clyde arrived this afternoon, (3 days from Callao. after losing her charter by less than a day, and narrowly escaping destruction dur ing the recent gale off the Washington Coast. The Clyde was taken in tow last evening by the Puget Sound tug Tatoosh and brought into port this aft ernoon. Captain Janas O. Nesheim, master of the vessel. In speaking of the trip and his experience, said: "We had a fairly good run up the coast until eight days before arriving off the mouth of the Columbia. We encountered rough weather, with high seas. Pilot Gunderson was placed on board Friday morning from the tug Wallula. Why wo were not brought Inside then I do not know, but the tug left us, saying the bar was too rough, and we were forced to head off shore. "A few hours later the wind had In creased to a hurricane rate, swinging around from southeast until it finally reached the northwest. The seas were rolling almost mountains high, and about 10 o'clock Friday night the sand ballast shifted to starboard, giving the ship a list of about 45 degrees. The starboard rail was two or three feet under water, and we expected every moment that the craft would turn turtle as she was tossed about by the high seas. "Every man on board, with the ex ception of the pilot, the mate, the man at the wheel and myself, went into the hold and worked like Trojans restowlng the ballast, but It was not until 4 o'clock Saturday morning that the craft was righted. "We then tried for eight hours to wear the ship around, but could do nothing until late Saturday afternoon, when, by barking the foreyards and setting the foresails, we succeeded In bringing her around. We were then four miles north of Destruction Island and about 50 miles off shore. By that time the wind had died down, and tn the early evening we set more sail and headed down the coast. All day Sunday we were in almost a dead calm, making what headway we could from off Grays Harbor down nearly to Shoalwater Bay. Every moment I expected to see a tug coming after us. as the tubgoat people certainly knew we would be close at band, but none came. "About 5 o'clock that evening the Puget Sound tug Tatoosh hove in sight and hailed us. We were then about four or five miles off shore in a dead calm. and. fearing the strong current would carry the ship 'onto the beach, I took the tug's hawser and she brought us In. too late, however, to save the charter. None of the. other tugs showed up until several hours later." ONLY ONE AFTER POUT POST Vancouver Election to Be Held Sat urday and Work Derided On. VANCOUVER. Wash., Dec. 1. Spe rlal.) C E.

The Portland Chamber of commerce recently sent In a request to have the transfer made, so It Is expected that the department authorities at Washing ton will see their way clear to Accept the offer of the O.-W.

CLUB CONSULTS STARS Occultism Makes Great Stride In Kngland Among Many. LONDON. Dec 1. (Special.) In England occultism Is making tremen dous headway at the present moment. Formerly those who studied hidden mysteries did so In secret. They did not advertise their devotion to clair voyance or divination, or telepathy.

The newest of the Institutions In London which provide a rendezvous for occultists is the Occult Club, estab lished in a house close to the Picca dilly Hotel. Professor 'W. de Kerlor. director of the club, said the curricula included: Cartomancy, fortune-telling by cards; development of dream power, occult ism or mule, telepathy, numerology, or the magic mystery and meaning of number: crystal gazing and clair voyance. The club Includes n reading-room whose astrological stained gins win dows and studious xtmosphere are pe-M oullarly favorable for students of the deepest problems of occultism; a Jacobean kitchen without a rooking range, where students ran make tlu-ir Ideals in diet practical by adopting the strictly fruitarian regime - which i most conducive to tho development ef psychic powers; a library and a "si lence corner."
