Job Was Too Heavy.
The Callender tug Melville with a huge
barge and a crew of the Manzanita's
men, made an attempt yesterday, to
pick up the big mushroom anchor and
cable lately employed in bringing the
lightship both ways across San Island.
The Bor'easter and the choppy sea it
engendered, made the effort a futile one.
It was found that the V00 pound an
chor had sunk into the shifting sands
a depth of fifteen feet and the cable
chain had followed it. To extricate this,
the chain was hauled aboard over the
stern of the barge and made fast to the
powerful capstan and then hove in until
the barg stern was borne down about

Sea-Sick in Port
The still nor'easter of yesterday
kicked up a nasty chop sea in the har
bor that told pretty heavily 011 the
tug and other sainll steamers moored
along the docks in the very teeth of it,
aud among tlie lot the dandy little Pa
trol, of the federal custom scmce, did
her share of bucking and plunging. In
fait she was so busy she cotuM'llcd her
fireman to abandon her for the quieter
aud steadier precinct , of the, dock of
fice. His shipmates all declare he was
sea-sick, but as they were all up iu the
office themselves, including that sturdy
old mariner. First Officer Fred J. Brown,
the statement is subject to doubt, uuhws
it be applied to the. whole outfit, as, it
probably should be. But," if he were
sea-sick, or if all were,, they have tb
satisfaction of knowing that Captain
Edwards. V, S. Inspector of Boilers, him
self a veteran of the . sea, w ho, under
the saute conditions, on the tug Lottie
yesterday nearly turned himself insult'

The Puget Sound papers are all crow
ing over the fact that vessel of great
tonnage and . draft, , can but partially
load at Portland because (.f insufficient
water on the Columbia bar. Their jubi
lation is natural enough in a commercial
sense and they are not to be blamed for
it, but they are to be warned on two
points, namely: That because these big
liners can get to thtir docks without
trouble is not of their proviaiiiu', natuie
alone being the arbiter in the matter;
and secondly, the crow won't lust for
ever. There'll lie 40 feet here some
bright day, and then tfie hill side cities
up there will loosen their hold on Moth
er Karth, in pure chagrin and slide off
into their darned old 100 fathom buys.
You see if tliev don't.
