Wreck of the Pinafore.
The San Francisco Chronicle of
Friday informs, us of the wreck of H.
M. S. Pinafore at the Grand Opera
House, Thursday evening, when the
crew and audience were dispersed in
short meter, only 40 in the house,
and $224 to pay being the rock upon
which she split. Is it possible that
the saucy ship will never sail over the
boards of our Metropolitan? Hardly
ever, shall we listen to the echoes
of
"We sail the ocean blue;5'
never? We admit that we sorrowfully
read in the Chronicle the fate of the
Pinafore, but if we must repudiate the
now popular phrase "what, never,"
etc., without having listened to the
play, we can congratulate us that we
have not been punished which the mo
notony like one of our brother editors
in the east, of whom it is said that, a
few days ago he called his sub-editors
together, and telling them ''this thing
is getting monotonous, and must be
stopped; to day's edition had that
abomniable Pinafore ag a dozen
times repeated, and I wish never to see
it again." And the response, as one
man wits. "What, never?"
That the composers have received
little or no compensation for their
work, in America, is well known. Ap
ropos of this subject, Mr. Sullivan, in
a recent letter to a friend in New
York, says: "I am beyoud measure
gratified at Pianfore's success in
America; but there is one matter of
great regret to me. Not the money
question; for although I don't for an
instant pretend to assert that I
should not prefer to be paid for
my work, still my income is sufii
ciently large for me to feel that pay
ment in this matter is a secondary
consideration." He then proceeds,
at some length, to state his grievance,
which is a purely musical one,namehT:
that we do not use the score as he
wrote it. It is a thoroughly artistic
view of the matter. If we have
nothing more substantial to offer let us
Hive three cheers and one ehecrmore
For the bright composers of the Pinafore.
Tillamook Roelc Xrospccted.
On Sunday morning at 3 o'clock the
United States steamer Thomas Corwin,
left the city for Tillamook rock, and
Capt. Brann informs us that they
made a successful landing, and ex
plored the rock, which they found to
be 320 feet from low water to low
water mark or about 300 feet at high
water, east and west, by 224 feet at
low water, or about 200 feet at high
water north and south. The princi
pal rock is 95 feet high, and has a flat
surface of about 40 by' 70 feet on top.
with a gradual slope to the main shore.
The edge is very abrupt at the point
at which the landing was made, and
Capt. Brann is of the opinion that all
the supplies can be readily landed
there for the construction of the pro
posed light-house and for use after the
same is built, .as the water is deep.
and no danger need be feared of
sunken rocks to sink a vessel in the
swell. The rock (or island) was found
to be inhabited b' numerous large
sea-lion, which appeared xerfectly "at
home," and refused to budge for the
incroaching civilization, as the older
ones had their young with them.
The landing at the rock was made
easier than the debarkation. By step
ping lively the men were enabled to
get on to the rock between swells, but
when it came to leaving the rock it
was quite another thing. The strong
nnder-tow, and the sweep of the sea
around the b:use of the rock made it so
difficult that the men were obliged to
jump into the sea, after fastening a
line around themselves, and were then
drawn on board the boat. By placing
a heavy anchor off from the rock and
fastening ring bolts into the rock, then
erecting a derick, comparatively easy
landings may be made of materials.
