YESTERDAY'S BOAT KAt'E.
An Interesting Contest "VVith an lTiHati
factory Rcsnlt.
Considerable interest was mani
fested in the "Whitehall boat race that
was announced to be sailed at two
o'clock yesterday and the fact that
$1,100 in pools depended on the re
sult besides about $400 more on the
outside made it a still further matter
of concern. The contestants went in
in earnest and yesterday morning six
fine looking boats were at the foot of
Cass street. The race was set for
2 p. m., but though the sun and sky
were all that could be wished there
was scarcely any breeze. At the hour
set it was manifestly no use to try a
start and the captains of the several
boats agreed with the judges to post
pone the race till later in the after
noon. By three o'clock there was a
fair breeze from the west and at half
past three the boats started, it being
agreed that the race was to be run in
two hours, that is that the winning
boat should pass the judges' boat at
the finish at 5:30 p. jr.
A. W. Berry, A. D. Wass and J. P.
Betts were the judges: the boats were
started at intervals of one minute,
Currau & Nelson's boat crossing the
line drawn northward from the west
end o Flavel's wharf. McCormick's
boat second, followed by Brown &
McCabe's, Johnson's, "Welch's and
Turk's in the order named.
The stream in front of the city pre
sented a holiday appearance. The
ebb tide ruffled by the west breeze
glittered in the sunlight, twenty-five
or thirty sail boats full of people
darted in every direction going before
the wind or tacking from side to side;
the roofs, the ship's yards and every
convienient perch aloft, the docks
and the whole water front were crowd
ed with people. The boats in the
race bore away for the black spar buoy
opposite Booth's cannery; Currau's
boat, the Parole, rounding it on the
starboard tack at 3:45; McCormick's
Pride of the Columbia, 3:45-li';
Brown & McCabe's Harry Bingham,
3:46if: Johnson's Date Campbell,
3:50; Turk's Juo. X.,3li "Welch's
Bonnie, 3:52. As the boats swung
round they started to tack down to
the black buoy below Smith's point;
that was the best part of the race;
there was just enough wind for a
good race, the tide was right, and
considerable depended on the skill
of those who sailed the boats. Den
ny Curran sailed his boat, the Pa
role, Joe Burke the Jno. L., Jno. "W.
Brown the Harry Binyham, .Tas.
Hess the Pride of the Columbia,
Wm. Lane the Bonnie, and Tom
"Ward the Bate Campbell. Each
boat was sloop pgged, a main sail
and jib and slapped along at a rate
that gave promise of an interesting
coniest; but when near the Smith's
point buoy the wind died down, Mc
Cormick's boat having the advantage
of distance and position and ronn fl
ing the buoy at 37, having out
sailed the Parole, beating her four
minutes to that point. The Parole
rounded the buoy at 4:10; the Harry
Bingham at 4:43; the Jno. L. at
4:4G; the Bonnie nt 4:47; and the
Vave Campbell at 4:48." As each
boat swung around the buoy and
went before the wind sho shook out
an additional stun sail, but the
breeze dying almost completely away
made it questionable if the home
boat could be reached inside of the
stipulated two hours. Every effort
was made to got on, and the putting
up of a square top sail on the Jno. L.
made considerable of a sensation
to those who followed the race.
"Whatever little wind there was,
was made the most of by the Jno. L.
which crawled steadily up, passing
the Harry Binyham and gaining
?;radually on the Pride of the ( 'o
nmbia and Parole, which held first
and second places respectively. Peel
selling which had been going on dur
ing the race, immediately placed
Turk's boat as the favorite, but it
soon became evident that if the rules
agreed upon by the captains as to
time, viz: two hours, were to be fol
lowed, there would be no race. At
530 Curran and Hess were almost
side and side, Turk coming along a
good third.
Following is the time the contesl-
ingboats passed the judges' boat at the
finish.

According to the way the boats start
ed with minute intervals between,
McCdrmick was entitled to one min
ute less than the above time, McCabe
and Brown two minutes less, Johnson
three minutes, "Welch four minutes
and Turk five minutes. If the two
hour agreement did not bar it is
very easy to see as a matter of
fact that Turk's boat won the race,
but under the agreement made with
and by the captains of the several
boats before starting, the judges
could do nothing else but declare
the race off. Accordingly they wrote
out and signed the following
DECISIOX.
The judges appointed to judge sail
ing race have decided that there was
no race, the captain of each boat hav
ing agreed before the race that
should it not be run in two honrs
that it should be declared off.

Judges
They also declared all pools off and
tendered their resignation. Their de
cision made a good deal of noisy dis
cussion, after which it was decided
that they be asked to continue to
serve as judges. The pools were then
paid back to the purchasers minus
fire per cent partly allowed.
It is to be regretted that the race
did not come to a definite finish so
that it could be decided who won and
haye the pools paid to the winners.
It was a very pretty and interesting
race and while it seems invidious to
make individual mention where all
did so well, the skillful sailing of Jas.
Hess deserves special mention. It
was announced last evening that the
race would be run again at one
o'clock this afternoon.
VERY LIKE A WHALE.
The Story Told liy a San Fr.inci-co Ili
patclt. Sax Fuancisco, Oct. fX -A peculiar
incident, occurred to the steamship
Oregon on its last trip from Port
laud. The report officially to the
agents here is as follews: "At 7:15 a.
3i. on the 5lh iust., off Tillamook
head, bearing east northeast, distant
five miles from shore, ship struck a
whale which in some unaccountable
way was got caught in the propeller
arch and remained there until 11:15
a. m., when the rapid revolutions of
the wheel cut it in two. Captain
Pohlman states that he felt tho vessel
strike heavily, and immediately he
stopped the engines for a few mo
ments and backed up. He .Links the
reversing of the wheel caused consid
erable suction which drew the whale
through the narrow space between
the propeller and the rudder po?t.
The whale then showed signs of life
and began to use its tail with great
force, causing fearful damage to the
shin. The vessel was put at full
speed and continued so. The whale
was cut into two pieces, coming up
astern. There was danger while the
animal was alive of great damage to
the sbi, All on board could see
every move of the creature, and say
that it was a most startling sight.
and almost an incredible affair.
Nopi1 Examination.
On Thursday evening it was dis
covered that the ship Dim-Un, just
loaded with wheat and ready for sea.
was leaking at the rale of two inches
per hour. It is supposed she has
been tampered with in some manner.
The captain has had some trouble
with his crew since his arrival here
and some of the men have been dis
charged. A portiou of the cargo will
be discharged and a survey of the
vessel made in hope of finding tho
leak. It a hole has been bored in the
vessel it cannot be far below the Ava-
ter line, and by unloading a small
portion of the cargo it may be dis
covered. If the leak cannot be found.

The (lawn of The IV.ciJir Award.
In reviewing the case Judge Saw
v cr said tho amount claimed and al
lowed was liberal, but he thought it
should be. He said the interests of
commerce, the underwriters and the
public were best served- by a liberal
policy in the matter, and that tho
compensation was not too large. It
was liberal, but not unreasonably so.
His decree confirmed the decree of
Judge Deady in every particular, and
allowed six per cent, interest on the
total sum from tho date of the decree
until it should be paid. There is
one appeal left to the owners of the
steamship, that to the United States
supreme court at Washington. How
ever, it is not likely an appeal will be
made, but a full .settlement effected.

The enclosed copy of letter came into
my possession some time ago being
taken from papers found in a bottle on
the coast of Sierra Leone by CapN
Henry WiNon of the Lucy Ashton
while on the coast in the fall of 1SS3.
The lhisk containing the letter was
deeply encrusted with barnacles and it
was only after much labor that a copy
could be made of its contents, the ex
treme age of the document rendering a
great portion of it illegible. The air
of mystery is increased by the absence
of the name of the ship which can only
be explained by the tact of its being
written by a lady. It is to be honed
that its now being found may realize,
the hope of its unknown writer that
long rears might tell the story of
their fate. The only hope for any clue
to the missive mar he found in the fact
of some one being saved who will rec
ognize the characters spoken of and

.MvDkak Amy:
When a few days ago I bid you a long
farewell on the decks of our good ship
it was with mingled feelings 1 turned
inv face to the sea and need 1 say it, I
shed a few tears? Womanly, they cer
tainl v were I But our griefs are transi
torythe sunshine soon follows the
glowering squall and to-day I am in a
happy frame of mind. I said, when I
left. I would give you from time to time
a glimpse of "my new life and its many
surrounding with its phases of the
world unknown into which I was drift
ing. 1 need not tell you that my eyes
never tired until the land sunk below
the horizon and was lost to view.
All left me now is the memory of
happr hours spent with you and the
dear ones at your house and now 1 am
looking forwaid to meeting my dear
parents in old England.
Tn-day I have had much to see, much
to note. Our gooil vessel plows steadily
its wav, each favoring breeze bearing it
nearer the haven where we would be.
System marks every department each
man lias his place and his duty and so
thoroiighlr is each fitted in his groove
that all works noiselessly.

The chief officer or as he is oftener
styled the mate; burly and loud voiced

to be busv. A genuine specimen of the
"genu nauticus,"' ho is a general favor
ite with all on board. Mind you, I do
not say with me-though I confess I
J ike him.
The tid officer seemingly a thorough
seaman, ot whom bin nine i seen.
makes the full list of our ofiicers.
Sailors, rough and rude, obey strange
orders and seem to be a happr dare
devil set. 1 often wonder at theirseem
ing contentment under the severe res
traints or ship discipline.
IJut my delight has been in the quiet
studr of my fellow passengers. Ship
life brings into play all the disposition
of a person. Nothing is hidden the
mask may be worn for a while but it
must be dropped in the end and shorn
of artificialitr the true nature must show
it-elf. To-day 1 have studied a young
man pretty 'study, niethinks, 1 hear
vou say for poor, staid I! Faultless in
attire one would think him to be some
vounger son of nobility. He sits next
'me at table and always handles every
thing gingerly, crooking his little finger
covered with a ring so as to always
show the sparkle of the diamond, a la
Her. Charles Honerinan and he always
affects such fine airs in every movement
doing it so pointedlr that attention is
called to it. He has" such immaculate
Avhite hands, too! IJut, alas! When
lie eats! With a plate full of chicken,
cabbage, potatoes, etc,, iu fact a pot
pourri not down on the bill of fare, he
uses his knife for a shovel and seem to
Jet his hands acftis grave diggers to his
aspirations for .gentility, by shoveling
food into the tomb of his intellectual
face. Amusing tit first he disgusts me
berore the meal is over and passes ut
terly out of my books when 1 find that
he is a gambler, one of those profes
sional lepers that play on the rices of
mankind.
May 12th.
A balmy day with gentle breeze just
filling our sails I sat on deck most or
it, musing on the past, dreaming of the
future. My sailor friends for we are
friends, now the jolly mate came to me
and 1 was delighted with him so free
from the whimpering sentimentality
with which men thini: they must ap
proach our sex, he charmed me. As sea
story after storyAif adventure and peril
was told, 1 was m fancy the Dcsdeniona
who luinir unon his words. Something
in the man interests me, what 1 cannot
say. Now, 1 hear you say Oh, my!
the girl is in love." Never fear. I am
fancy free yet ami love, l no noi : Aim
he is so learned too he talks of hour
angles and meridians and of declinations-all
Greek to me they are. And
the whole heaven of Astronomy is his.
too so that 1 wonder how one head
can hold so much learning. And he so
gentlemanly a real Sir KogcrdeCov
erlr. Ah! well! 1 won't praise him
anr more, but 1 will tell you one thing
1 shall never, no. never, really like him
because L heard hiin swear at a sailor.
Still 1 could not really blame him. the
sailor was so stupid ! Understand me.
1 do not mean to act an apologist lor
profanity.
To-day a pale face has haunted inr
with lustrous eyes and pensive look and
a longing gaze ahead as if her eyes
could reach dear old England. A beau
tiful face, clear cut profile and such
golden hair! Even the angels might
envy it and even I, though no angel,
did'envy it It forced itself on me, the
thought that Death was hovering over
the fair girl whose hopes were based on
little. Her gaze perchance centered
around a home picture iu which some
manly form was the attraction a fond
farewell and a lorn hope.
1 caught her eye. blue and innocent.
And one of those smiles of recognition
that a woman's soul alone can give to
suffering, lit her face like a flash. It
spoke of wanting sympathy and 1 joined
her under the pretext of offering some
fruit. 1 felt, too, ashamed of laying
claim to generosity when my whole
aim was only curiosity. A sweet voice
greeted me and by intuition I knew we
were io oe menus, urn you never,
Amy, meet people whose hrst words
seemed like an oft told story of friend
ship and whom in moments of time you
seemed to have known years V Such
was my case to-day.
With favoring breezes wafling our

bed this night.
May 18th.
For several days L have been an in
valid. A severe cold has kept me a close
prisoner. And. yet I have ueen happy.
My golden haired friend has been a
constant visitor, and our confidences
have been mutual. She is takiug the
vovage for healths sake, leaving behind
a loving household and a lover. Her
father, one of the shareholders in the
company to which this ship belongs lias
commended her to l'roridcncc and the
assisting care of our captain, an old
gray haired gefitleman of well nigh (JO.
Consumption with its stealthy steps is
marking her life by hours. And. yet so
full of hope ! Such happy plans for her
future such trusting love for her chosen
one! 1 love her with all my heart if a
woman can love another woman.
At night I lay awake and listen for
hours to the steps of the deck officers
1 can always tell when my sailor I say
inv sailor (hut I do not mean it, of
course he is cverybodys sailor) comes
on deck. Somehow or other 1 always
feel safe when 1 hear his form tread
orer me and 1 can go to sleep for I
know he is true to his duty, lie sends
daily to inquire aftT my health and so,
for all that does the captain. 1 wish
ther would not he so solicitous over me.
MAY'JOth.
To-day I have been on deck. My
study was our queen, a young lady of
19, whose beauty and imperious mein
has laid tribute to her the hearts of all
the gentlemen. Brunette, of fine form,
lirely in manner she has literally
queened it orer all. Sitting on deck
this afternoon, with her court around
her, quaffing champagne she espied my
sailor mate (I mean mate of the ship,
not my mate) and insisted on his join
ing her in a glass. To his remonstrance
that as an officer it was wrong that one
glass might unsteady him ami cause a
false order, bringing disgrace upon him
she turned a scornful laugh. With
his earnest way he asks, "If knowing
she was leading him to act against his
conrietions of duty and right, she still
insisted,'lshc replied with scornful look,
"Yes." Oh! how I hated her! Howl
trembled for him (why should IV) and
when he yielded assent and 1 saw the
triumph of her proud, wicked eye, oh !
how 1 hated the woman and despised
the man !
With earnest face the mate raises his
glass then gracefully kissing the crys
tal side, passes it hack saying with an
air that would hare honored a llaleigh.
yet laden with cutting rebuke.
Fair lady, I kiss the glass in honor of
thee
Fair lady, drink thou the wine iu honor
of me."
Abashed, conquered she stood. An
ger flashing in her eye, defied as she
was in her own court she stood a mom
ent. I waited to see the outburst of her
wrath. One look in his honest face, one
glance at his blue eyes, and the woman
spoke and spake she right royally.
Her ruby lips were ncrcr graced by
belter, purer words. "Forgive me and
l thank God that 1 hare met one honest
man who dares to rebuke thewrongy
And she laid her dainty hand in his.
Oh ! I could have hugged her close to
my heart and loved her for those words.
And he, turning away quickly gave an
abrupt order to his men. to cover his
feelings. Why is it Amy, that men hate
to show any emotion. And me I was
sad because 1 had wronged him ! Why
should I be sad ".'
May Ski.
We little know what a dar mar bring
forth. When I left the distant shore's
behind me I was but a child in feeling.
Now a new life has come over me. A
strange feeling or disquiet is agitating
me and 1 find that I am ever watching
for him m mate. Oh! Amy, 1 am in
love and better still he has spoken
words that have made me so happy!
My heart beats fast with its new found
happiness and my every thought is cen
tered in him my mate now. Golden
hair and the queen know of my new
life and with womaiis hearts they re
joice. The one thinks my happiness
buttlieiellex of her ewn: the other re
joices that love is not a myth. Did you
ever love Amy! E am so quiet in my
happiness it seems too much for poor
I, to have any one great joy an to niy
selt ! A rague fear oppresses me lest
it should depart. Is love made of hap
piness and doubts and fears'.' or. is it
the one perfect life we all seek to at
tain to.
May 27th.
Strong head winds have delayed us
for the past few days, and our good ship
lias been staggering along. laboring iu
ever joint. Mere patches of sail are
set and it seems as if each sea were a
mountain tipped with snow.
Yesterday I was on deck, my mate
came for me and borne in his strong
arms 1 was safe. Methought every one
looked grave aven he. so cool was more
tender than usual, as if in pity for some
impending evil. Our captain looked
anxious, men whispered and all seemed
to cast anxious looks to the horizon.
Oh! is there danger! Is this happi
ness to he dashed from mc '. Something
tells ma there is danger, there is evil
coming! And alas ! true, it is. He told
me in the lone hour of the night, the
circling storm and the whistling wind
were fit companions to bear this evil
company. He told me that the cargo
was aim nan ueen on nre ior uays.
That our only salvation was iu (Sod's
mercy, for man was of no account and
powerless to save.
May 28th.
Oh ! Amy. what shall I say '.' What a
world of thought has been hurrying
through my brain. I, with my new life
my new found happiness. Oh ! am 1 to
lose it".' No! no! if God takes us, do
we not, mv brave mate and I, go heart
and heart to Him who has given us to
one another'.' And. too, poor little
golden hair she knows all and her
everv thought is of her loved one, not
of herself, so unselfish ! The queen is
bravely keeping up while the gentlemen
are quiet.
The storm has abated, but the fire is
gaining, an oppressive leeling pervades
everything. Smoke is oozing through
the seams of the deck and oh! God!
no help is near. The lookout aloft,
staring for life his every sense gives
no welcome cry. No one is near to help
save God and even lie seems to hare
abaudoned us to our fate.
At noon our captain, mustered all
hands around him and with uncovered
head besought Him to whom all things
are possible for help and guidance in
this our hour of sore distress.
After this, everv one was assigned to
a place in the boats, and preparations
were uegun ior leaving me snip.
I am to go with my mate the queen
loo goes with us golden hair is to be
with the captain. I find comfort in the
verv thought that as living I am his, so
in death, if the worst comes, my mate
will be mine!
To vou, Amy, I now consign my let
tera waif on the sea, that may yet be
God's instrument to tell you of our fate.
Oh ! it is so hard ! So near my perfect
life, for love is perfect, to give it all up.
But God's will he done.l am 'content
for 1 love and am loved ! Commending
this to the wares, trusting the circling
rears will bring it to light, my mate and
1 await the worst. Oh ! Amy, is my
calmness that of despair or am I strong
because I love or is it hecause I know
not my danger?
Good bye. God help mc and niv hc
lOTed one !
- While the abore has some appearance
of authenticity there is so little clue to
the sequel of the disaster of which it
purports to give a partial account that
it must be a matter of the vaguest con
jecture as to what the vessel was that
bore the fair correspondent, where she
was bound, and her ultimate fate.
Ocean currents are so multiplied and
complex that it is impossible to form
any theory as to where the vessel was
at "the time the flask was flung over
board. It is a well authenticated fact
that a portion of the Lockslcy Hall lost
near the Falkland Islands some years
ago was afterwards found on the west
coast of Australia, having drifted round
theglobe. The Leeds M crcury of April
2Sth. 18Gj, gives a report current that an
English bark bound from Honolulu to
Eugland was sighted on fire and pre
sumedly abandoned off Cape St. lloque,
Ion. 337 west, Jat. .".17 south, but after
twentv years it Is a matter of extreme
difficulty to even surmise any connec
tion between the lost English' bark and
the missive which is now published for
the first time. The probability is that
the sea will keep this in common with a
thousand other secrets and the young
girl who tells the story of her love
perished together with the rest of the
passengers and crew or the illfated
vessel.

The following bit is going the
rounds of the press, and seems to be
considered as appropriate elsewhere as
we know it to bo here: "Editors are
often blamed tor saying too much,
whereas what they do say is but a
drop in the bucket of what they are
told but do not repeat. Everybody
with an ax to grind, an enemy to dis
parage, or an animositr to gratify,
pours his tale into tho scribe's ear
with the hope that the same will be
published at the editorial risk. If
erery bit of information that leaks
into a newspaper ofiico should be
printed, you would see lively times."
