The morning dawned brightly, but the
rain toon again fell In torrent and the
day proved a decidedly wet one. Com
mercial waa really fortunate In Ita
failure to aerure a game yealerday, for
the wet weather would have prevented
the crowd from turning out to e a
football match.
Much aurprlae waa expressed In thla
city that six veaaela ahould have paaaed
the waterlogged Webfoot without hav

The old achociner Webfoot him been
running In the count wine trade for 3
year or more. Hhe wu built nt t'oo
bay In 169 and wna launched u
burkentlne. Thl rig wa rnulntulned
for a number of years, and then altered
to that of a brlgiinllne. Later on the
rig was again changed to that of i
three-masted schooner. The vessel
had almost outlived her usefulness and
old age wa her undoing. Hlie hue paid
for herself many time over. It la
probable she has made her lust trip,
although It has not yet been announced
whether or not ahe will be repaired.
The O. R. A N. Co. will have a salvage
claim ugulnat her, the Wullulu having
picked her up and the Klder rendered
her assistance. Itoth vessel belong f.

large one.

A larg number of delegate to the

of looking after th surviving member

Councilman Kaboth waxed exceed
ingly sarcastic at the adjourned meet
ing of the council Wednesday night
The proposal hud been advanced that
the street committee might unofficial
ly order alteration of the plan for Im
proving Franklin avenue in the east
end, Mr. Kaboth void the committee
on lire and water had been anxloua to
assume several additional burden,
such us conducting the Are depart
ment, and that the health and police
committee hud been Invited to run the
police department; but, as a member of
the street committee, he protested
agulnst the council Imposing any such
responsibility on that body as wa con
tained in the suggestion with reference
to the Franklin avenue repair, Mr.
Kaboth wua of the opinion that the
council should bear a burden of this
sort. City Attorney Smith doea not
desire to verbally advise the , street
committee as to It authority In the
matter, but will render a written re
port The council la very anxloua to
muke the necessary repair at Thirty-
eighth street but will not leave any
loophole by which the cost of the work,
something like $12,600, could be thrown
upon the city. The alteration neces
sary would cost perhaps not more than
$100, but the proposal Involves the con
tract price. Mr. Lebeck expressed th
belief that the city should force the
contractor to make the repair, a in
thla manner the city could not be held
liable. The contractor could probably
be forced to build the 60 feet of trestle
necessary, for the council could refuse
to accept the street until the work was
done. However, another way will be
found to deal satisfactorily with the
matter. ., .;, ,..,. , ., ...
There I no doubt locally a to the
fate of the three gallon who left the
waterlogged Webfoot Tuesday . after
noon, as she rolled around In the sea
oft Tillamook rock. The men had eat
en nothing for four day when they
took to the email boat in a forlorn at
tempt to reach shore and secure as
sistance, and, If their frail craft with
stood the fury of the storm, Ita occu
pants must have perished ere this of
hunger and thirst, or have frosen to
death, The weather was bitterly cold
Tuesday night and again Wednesday
night, and It is believed the hapless
fellows, could not possibly have sur
vived. There Is a remote possibility
that some passing steamer picked them
up and took them to San Francisco or
to th sound. . Eight or 10 vessels
passed up and do;n the coast on Tues
day and Wednesday and may have
sighted th shipwrecked mariner, but
little hope I entertained that they
hav survived th terrible ordeal
through which they passed. It I con
sidered remarkabel that th eight men
comprising th crew of the Webfoot
lived for flv day on th sea-washed
cabin of th derelict The derelict I
(till at anchor off th O. R. N. dock.
Only th stump of her mlzien mast re
main, and her generally delapldated
condition furnishes mute evidence of
her ' unsuccessful struggle with the
storm. The vessel will probably be
worthless, except for her lumber, some
of which 1 whit cedar and quit valu
able. Captain Lewi and th surviv
ing members of the crew, who were
nearly dead when the Elder reached
them, were refreshed after a night'
good rest, but the veteran skipper still
show the effect of hi long exposure.
While he wu huddled on top of the
cabin with hi men he gave hi over
coat to the cook, who happens to be
short of stature. The coat would af
ford complete protection to the cook
and but partial protection to the cap
tain, and the latter was anxloua to get
a much service out of It a possible.
Because of loss of teeth the captain
found It Impossible to eat any of the
raw potatoes which constituted the
crew' stock of provisions, and for thl
reason fared worse than the other.
When the Elder came along and low
ered provisions to the shipwrecked
men one of them, well-nigh famished,
ravenously swallowed five cups of cof
fee. The captain declined to eat when
he arrived In the city, but his men did
not follow his example.
