' motion to adjourn was carried the pus- 1 sling question as to whether Rev. Alex ndr Blackburn would be retained as . ' castor was as far from settlement as - when the session began.

'But in this it failed. Some Are Dissatisfied. 1 tt Is claimed by those opposed to re tentlon. of the present pastor that din- satisfaction with his services in the pulpit has been growing for some tlme, finally culminating in the circulation of ..- a petition to call a meeting of the con . gregation. This petition, although It ta known to have been presented to vari ous 'members fon signature, has never been placed before the church officers and - in not recognised officially as being in existence-- -. ......

' When he is no longer -desired a change may be made, but it is necessary to vote such change. That fB what will have ' to be done In the case of Rev.

Blackburn to Virginia K. Watson, a widow, la said to have been considered undignified by certain members of his congregation, though, these same- persons realise nnd '.. recognize that their minister had in every way a right to follow out the course he i v chose. Yet they also way that as the header of a flock Rev. Blackburn should have so conducted himself as to be ' ' considered worthy of emulation In all ' matters of church etiquette and pro .': priety, and they , do not consider he :' allowed a strictly, proper lapse of time , .from the' death of his brtewlfc until the beginning of tho.

He soys It was necessary to cut the cable in order to save his veisol from destruction on the rocks at Double Point, the northern extremity f Drakes' Bay. "Soon after leaving San Francises, said Hornsman, "we ran Into the most severs northwest gale I have ever en countered. At midnight on Saturday; 1 ran Into Drakes Hay for shelter. There were 'four sr five other (vessels in the bay at -the time, this being on'sccount ef ' the severity of the gale. , Among (hem was the big Norwegian or Danish tramp steamer Poiarstjerner bound from San Francisco for Portland. We took anchorage a short distance Inside the bay. but our anchor would not hold, so heavy was the blow. We drifted to ward Doubts Point and there fouled the cable. - "At thlB-Stage the vessel was drifting rapidly' tawsrd the rocks and -would surely haVe.'been ground to pieces had we not started to heave the anchor. The "heaving roke our windless, however,. and we were compelled to use impro vised hoisting gear, ft was Impossible to' stip M), anchor, and the only thing that remained was to sever the cable. There ire4' ho marks of any kind' la Drakes Bay to Indicate the position Of the cable, else the necessity of cutting It would never have arisen. Any one of the four Of-five vessels 'that Sought shelter thers' "might have been forced to cut It, but my steamer happened to se the unfortunate one.
