Owner of Vessel Believes Strong Winds Are Responsible and Tliat Ship Is In Xo Danger. SAN FRANCISCO. CaL, Dec 4. Fears were expressed in marine cir cles here today for the safety of the barkentine Thrasner. formerly an old whaling steamer, which sailed from here October 26 for Seattle. Nothing has teen heard from the vessel since she sailed. Captain W. C. Erratt, a San Francisco skipper, was in com mand and there was a crew of ten men aboard. Owing to the prevalence of winds which might have blown the Thrasher off her course during the last month. it was expected she would be a long time making port, but as the voyage ordinarily should have taken about 20 days, the possibility was expressed that she may have been lost at sea with all hands. Olaf Svenson of this city owns the Thrasher. SEATTLE, Wash.. Dec 4. No word regarding the Thrasher has reached Seattle since the boat left San Fran cisco October 26, officials of the Seattle Merchants' Exchange said here today. If the Thrasher has not been lost. she probably is still somewhere off the Washington coast waiting for fa vorable winds to carry her past Cape Flattery and into the Straits of Juan de Fuca, it was said. Offshore east winds, which have been blowing for about three weeks, would prevent the boat from reaching the straits. "There is no need for any uneasi ness so far regarding the Thrasher," Olaf Svenson, owner of the boat, said today. "The vessel's bottom is very foul and she took the outside route. which would carry her anywhere from 350 to 700 miles off shore. Head winds undoubtedly are solely respon sible for the fact that she has not yet reached Seattle. We are figuring that the Thrasher Is lying out some where off Cape Flattery waiting for a favorable breeze to bring her into the Strait of Juan de Fuca." The Thrasher was bought by Mr. Swenson recently from H. J. Knowles of San Francisco to take the place of the old Arctic trader and whaler Belvedere, which was crushed in the ice off Siberia several months sgo. The Belvedere was owned by the Hib-bard-Svenson company. CORVALLIS RECORD LAUDED Wooden Steamer Bnilt at Peninsu la Yards Is Praised.

C. Knapp. president of the Peninsula company, from D. J. Jenkins of the marine service department of the Westinghouse Electric & Manfuactur turing company at Newport News, Va. The letter says: "The steamer Cor vallis has arrived in port after a very' satisfactory voyage. I am glad to re port that she holds the record here for arriving in port with so little work to be done.

Distribution of the reward for the caoture and conviction of the Clare- mont tavern murderers probably will be made today, according; to an nouncement made yesterday. It had been planned to make the distribu tion yesterday, but plans were de layed by the failure of some of the money to arrive. The payment of the reward Is being handled through the First National bank. Three out of every four Germans more than 90 years of age are women still In g-ood health. Records CHRISTMAS RECORDS.
