The naval court composed of Vice
Consul Cherry and Captains Saraber and
Olcsen, which convened on Thursday
to inquire into tho loss of tha Abbey Cow
per. completed their inquiry yesterday.
Several witnesses were examined: Capt.
Gregory, of tho Shubriek, Capt. Geo.
Wood, Capt. Al. Stream and members of
tho crew. Following is a copy of the
findings of the ceurt:
This naval court finds, after du delib
eration, that the British bark Abbey
Coicper was lost on tho ouUr sands of
the entrance of Shoalwater bay, Wath
ington territory. U. S. A., the vessel tun
ing tho ground about 11 p. m., of the 4th
Of January, 1885. Tho evidence brings
out that at 9 p. m., of the evening of
the stranding the ship was about
8 miles W H S, magnetic, from Toko Pt.
lighthouse at tho entrance to Shoalwater
bay, and not 15 miles as was supposed by
the master, and to this error can be at
tributed the primary cause of the loss of
tho vessel.
The court finds the master was correct
in shaping his course, as ho did, direct
for Cape Disannointment. at tha entrant
of tho Columbia river, from his supposed
position taking into consideration his,
then, knowledge of tho trend of thn c.nnt
direction of the wind. The court also
finds that it was not known by the mas
ter mat no was coming to tho northwest
coast of North America, and therefore
was not supplied with proper charts;
that he used all endeavors to procure the
same after receiving his orders to proceed
to Portland Oreeon. for that nnrrwu
boarding the British bark Bultermere,
and oould only procure from her master
a general chart of tho Pacifio coast of
North America. That this chart did
not show any soundings or lights. That
tho facts of the northerly currents set
ting shorewards, the strong suck caused
by Shoalwater bay, and the distance
thai the shoals extend from tqe entranco
of Shoalwater bay was not known to the
master, oxonerates him in a great measure
But that on tho other hand tho master
is strongly to blame in that with such
poor charts, no sailing directions, and
no experience of this coast, ho allowed
the vessel to head a shy course along the
land with only ono light visible, without
using his lead or giving any orders to
tho officer on deck to do so when ho left
tho deck. Tho court also finds that th
first officer, A. C. Bevan, was in charge
ui iuo vessel at mo nine or tno stranding
and for throe hours previeusly: that in
the opinion of tho court ho is to be cen
sured for not having sent word to the cap
tain of the difference in tho bearings of the
lights between 9:30 p. m., and 10 p. m., 2
points in the course of half an hour; also
that ho should have used his own judg
ment in putting the helm hard up to
wear the ship round rnd sending for tho
captain instead of going himself before
doing anything. Tho court also finds
that from the moment the helm vra nnt
hard up everything was done that could
be dono under the circumstances: that
tho drifting away of nearly half the crew
crippled the resources of the master:
that he made all exertion in getting
ueip mioriouaingana seeping ma crew
Kleiner.
Tho court thereforo in returning tha
master's certificate to him does so with a
strong censure of his neglect in not hav
ing the lead hove when approaching a
Strang coast, he knowinz that it is n
usual custom so to do on all British ves
sels, and hopes that ho will take warning
in this particular in tho future.
Also tho court renrimands first mnfcpi
A. C. Bovan on his want of self trust in
not heaving tho lead, and, when ho heard
tno ureakors, sending for the master at
once and taking measures of at once
pulling the vessel on tho other tack,
Mr. Bevan'a certificate is returned with
tho caution that only his youth and gen
eral inexporienco together with his for
mer good character prevents the court
from making a more marked example
than the censure with which it returns
to him his certificate. Tho court has
pleasure in returaing tho second mate's
certificate to him

From our Regular Correspondent.
"WABHTKOTOif, Jen. 7, 1885.
The monotony of routine proceedings
at tha capitol has nearly always an un
dercurrent ef fun. It is ia the cloak
rooms that this currestrunsatits height.
When your representative or senator
seeks tha seclusion of this sacred pre
cinct, just outside the doors of this legis
lative chamber, ha usually lights a cigar,
unbuttons his coat, throws himself on
a sofa or in one chair with his feet on
another, relaxes himself generally, and
is not half a bad fellow. Hs then talks
with freedom- and vivacity, and secure
from the observation of the public he
shows his best, and, alas! sometimes his
worst side. Then ho expresses his views
of men and things with candor and caus
tic calmness, and indulges his inclina
tion for practical jokei.
Senator Garland is an incorrigible
mischief maker, and his fan is not con
fined to the seclusion of the cloak
rooms. Butler, of south Georgia, is an
other mad wag in tho senate, and he and
Garland are constantly playing jokes,
more or les3 outrageous, on each other.
Not long ago Garland hit Butler protty
hard that is to say he got a very good
ono on him; and Butler "laid for" the
senator from Arkansas. Knowing Gar
land's fondness for candy he procured
some caramels and also some cubes of
brown soap, which when wrapped in thin
tissuo paper, precisely resembled, to the
eye, the caramels! Butler knew that if
he tried to put tbo cubes of soap off on
Garland ho would fail, as the latter was
of course on the alert so far as he was
concerned. So Yoorhees of Indiana, who
sits next to Garland, was chosen for tho
confederate. Said Butler to Yoorhees,
"Here are two genuine caramels these
thers are cubes of soap. Go to your
seat, lay the soap cubes on your desk, eat
the genuine caramels, put jour trust in
providence, and say nothing." Yoorhees
did as he was told. Garland observed
the cubes on the desk, and saw that Yoor
hees was sating something with an evi
dent relish.
"Hello" said Garland, "what are you
oating?" "I've got a cold, and I'm eat
ing somo candy," replied Yoorhees, very
much absorbed in some papers in his
hands. Garland looked at the counter
feits wistfully for a moment. "Hum,"
ho said finally, as he picked one up, "I've
got something of a cold myself' and ho
popped the piece of soap Fnto his mouth.
There was a crunching of his jaws, and
he saw that ho was caught. Yoorhees
watched him out of tho tail of his eye,
as did a dozen others of the old boys sit
ting around. Garland knew ho was un
der fire, but ho determined not to flinch.
After chewing his soap for a moment he
looked up at Yoorhees with Iho inimitablo
air of innocent earnestness that is char
acteristic of him, and softly asked, "Do
you eat many of these things when you
have a cold?" As Garland kept on chew
ing an almost imperceptible strip of
lather formed on his lips, Yoorhees be
came alarmed and went to Butler. "The
follow'e actually eating that stuff! Why,
it will kill him, won't it?" "Xo o o,"
drawled Butler, "I don't reckon anything
will kill that man!" Garland was game.
He finished his soap, and no man could
say that he looked as if he didn't enjoy it.
The health of the cabinet is causa for
rejoicing in society here, and I boar that
with tho exoeption of Mrs. Lincoln, who
is in mourning for her mother, tho ladies
will entertain a good deal and go out in
a social blaze of unusual brilliancy. The
president does not mean to give his suc
cessor the chance to eclipse him in the
way of entertainments, and the cabinet
will follow his example. To this end it
is probable that there will .bo two psblio
receptions at the Whito house- during the
resent month and one daring February,
rs. MoElroy will probably begin hor
afternoon receptions next Saturday. Mrs.
Arthur, wife of the president's brother
William, is still a guest at the White
house.
With the new year tho work of prepar
ing for the inauguration ceremonies ap
pear to havo received a fresh impetus.
The headquarters on F street present p
busy and bustling appearance. Applica
tions of various kinds are pouring on the
committees, and the celebration bids fair
to be on a more extensive scale than has
marked previous inaugurations.

ALEC DUNHAM'S BOAT.
tFrom the Nantucket Inquirer.!
There sho lios at her moorings,
The little two-master.
Answering not now
The call of disaster.
Loose swings tho rudder.
Unshipped tho tiller
Crossing tho bar so.
One sea would fill her!
Foresail and mainsail!
In loose folds aro lying;
Naked tho mastheads aro
No pennon flying;
Sea-weed and wreck
Alike may drift past her;
Hero lies tho pilot-boat
Where is her master?
Lantern at Great Point,
Brightly it burnetii;
Beacon on Brant Point
The signal returneth.
Far out to sea
Sankoty flashes:
White on the shore
The created wave dashed.
Strident northeaster
And smoky sou'wester
Call for the pilot-boat.
Eager to test her.
And a ship on tho bar,
Just where the waves cast her:
Moored lies tho pilot-boat
Where is her master?
Oh, bark driviug in,
God send that you lee get,
Past Tuckernuck shoals,
Tho reefs of Moskeget.
There go minute-guns;
Now faster and faster
But no more to their aid
Flies tho little two-master.
For the pilot one night
Left his boat as you see her
Light-moored, that if signal camo
Ho ready might free her.
Bat not from her moorings
Did tho pilot's hand cast her,
Though a signal he answered
One S9t by the Master.
Gone, say you, and whither?
You ask mo which way
Went good pilot as over
Brought ship into bay?
Who shall say how ha cast off
If to starboard or larboard?
But of one thing I'm sure
The pilot's safe harbored.

We have a new clock an eight-day
clock. Our clock is warranted to run
eight days. Asn matter-of-fact it gen
erally pulls up a little short of the ad
vertised time; but then, what machine
does not? Even man, who is good for
three-score years and ten, runs down be
fore sixty. It is wonderful, when on
thinks of it, that a clock should mn so
long. All we havo to do, oueo a week, is
to convert a certain amount of muscle
into mechanical force, and wind the
clock up, and it takes a new loaso of life.
Ono cannot forbear envying it tho sim
pie existence that it leads, without pains,
uiuc, ut iruuuifb oi iis own or oi its
friends, tq worry it. Withal its lifois
not ono of indolence, and is monotonous
to a degree, or perhaps we should say,
to a minute. Uncomplaininingly it re
peats its "tick-tock" day in and day out.
What did people do in the dajs preced
ing clocks? A clepsydra never could
have supplied its place. It is a compan
ion and n friend. It almost smiles at
ono as he looks up from his work,
and yet it is a merciless destroyer of
time. We havo sometimes tried to catch
our ''eight-day" napping. In the middle
of tho night we have, as it were, felt its
pulso. Tbo beat was as regular and
mado as "healthful music" as in tho day.
Then wo think of little Paul Dombey
and tho great clock in Blimber's hall.
Every clock appears to be repeating somo
tale or other. In these times, when sto
ries aro so much in demand, we wish we
could interpret tho legend. So far wo
have not caught tho clue.
We love to sit this way in tho night
time, when the majority of our fellow
citizens are asleep, our only comrade
this time-eating fellow. As tho hands
count off the advancing hours, our mind
goes back to antecedent friends when
tho clock was not. How far away child
hood seems, how mystical and dreamy
the people and the deeds of that day!
Who is there who would not. if he could.
turn back tho hands upon the dial plate,
and begin his score anew? Yet it may
bo doubted if any of us. did we over noa-
hess mo cnance, wouia improvo upon tho
record we havo made. It is better to
forget tho past, or to remember it only
bo far as to mako the future nobler.
Then when tho pendulum ceas&3 to vi
brate, and tho heart beats its lost, we
can say, 'It is well; we have done our
Desr.
