' of the lararet of Ita kind ever set afloat
from the Pacific eoaat for Europe.
The Xnlcht of St. Oore arrived In

the powerful machinery waa barely able
to keep the big hull p agalnat the tre

daya to make the run. or a couple of
dayt longer than the ordinary eteamboet
.time, and the of f lcere aay it waa more
exciting than the entire voyage from
Antwerp to San Franoiaeo. By - going
through the Straita of Magellan the ae
vere atorma off Cape Horn were avoid,
ed, but coming out on ithe Faelflo aide
of the promontory the ateamer ran Jato
a blow that kept her beaved to for SO
tieura. She, waa than muoh deeper tn

turned the broad decka into bolateroua

were knocked about in m dangeroua
manner.-.' -

The Knight of St. George will gain
the dlatlnctlon of being the first steam

CapUln R. J. "Werllch. of the light

In the vicinity of the Valencia wreck
a few daya ago searching for a whist
ling buoy that had gone adrift several
montha ago and drifted on the beach
near Capa Beals. Captain Werllch found
the buoy, aa atated in yeaterday'a Jour
nal, but saw nothing that would ahed
any light upon ooma of the mysteries
of the terrible Valencia disaster.
"We stood close to shore for several
hours,' aald , Captain .Werllch I this
morning, ."but it waa very foggy and
we could barely see the coast line,
which, by the way,, la very , poorly de
fined on the charts. We found the
buoy, near, the scene af . the Valencia
wreck and some of my men-aald they
could, see part of the bollera of the
wreck protruding from the water.
"According to the report from Vic
toria concerning the finding of one of
the Ufeboate In a cavern, the boat must
have drifted a long- distance from the
ahlp .'before-running into the ahelter.
Carnamah ie about 70 miles from Cape
Beals and - pearly that far from the
pot where the Valencia went down.
Our presence in the vicinity of, the
Valencia wreck led to the spreading of
a report on Puget sound to the effect
that we were searching for the bodies
of thai missing Valencia victims, but
the report waa entirely without founda
tion.' We were eearchlng for the whist

Steamboat Owners Fiad It Impossible
to Keep White Craft Clean.
: River ateamboatmen are talking of
changing the color of their boau from
white to bottle green or eom darker
ahade In order to keep them neater
looking than la possible now because
of the oil that adheres to the hulls as
they plow through the harbor. They
aay It la almoat Impossible to keep them
clean without painting , them at least
once a month,
"Somehow or other it' seems impossi
ble to prevent oil from aeeplng into the
river from varloua sources," aald one
of the river ateamboatmen today, "and
there la no way of preventing it from
aticklng to the boats. Moat of the
ateamera now plying on the river are
covered with oil near the water line,
and they certainly preaent an unpleas
ant appearance. Wa aet the deckhands
to work - scrubbing occasionally but it
doea little good, for after another run
the oil la there again. The only remedy
that I can ae. la to paint the bulla a
darker color ao that the oil won't show
much, even If It la there."
