will to ac com pan tbe captain and4he others forward It was no easy task for theatont rst mariner to accomplish this feat considering the reckless manner in which the vessel was hurled from trough to trouzh and then from rock to rock aa well sa tbe murderous riolence with which the sens crashed over tbe groaning decks Hes aft captain Ill go and get him Tolanteered Engineer Thompson He found the watchman near the stern and essayed to cbeer blm up Takine him by the hand he started to assist him across the deck to join tbe others They walkedand tbev crawled and reached a point about midship when Crash 1 The schooner had plunged headlong kij i upon another rocr ana iramuwu croaned from stem to stern Thompson Three more of tbe crew of the ill feted and the watchmen were thrown violently They Stayed on the Burning Wrecker Divers Baker and Dolan and Watchman Johnson Probably Drowned wrecking schooner Bamson bare Been rescued leaving three still missing Geoge Baker and James Dolan the divers and Watchman Louis Johnson Captain Harmsen and Engineer Thompson and Diver Roach remained with the sinking Teasel and were taken off daring the foren jon of Friday by the lighthouse corps at Point Bonita where the schooner struck It was only afbsr the hurricane bad par tially exhausted itself and during the interval when the hungry seas rusnea backward irom the rocks at Point Bonita only to plunge forward again more murderous tban ever that the lighthouse keepers at the point were able to reach the charred and mangled remains of the once staunch schooner Samson and rescue the three shir ering and half dead men who had clone to the hulk to the last These three men were Captain Harry Harmsden Engineer Charles Thompson and Direr John Roach It was supposed until a Chbowli reporter reached the survivors yesterday that they with three others were lost When the last lifeboat was cut loose from the burning and foundering wrecker before daylight Fri day morning with eight of the crew four still remained on board There was no boat for them to escape in and they were left to their fate it meant in the midst of that frightful mehi of terror almost certain death Bat when the brave men from the lighthouse boarded tee hulk almost at the riskof their own lives they found three of them aboard One unfortunate baa been swept overboard in endeavoring to reach a safe place in the rigcing during tbe ntght He was Louu Johnson tbe watchman All bat three of the crew of fourteen who manned tbe Saraon are now ac nnon the deck Immediately a monster comber rose high above the side of tbe wrecker steadied itself for a mighty ef fort and then thundered down upon the deck and the unfortunate seamen Thompson clutched a projecting beam of the derrick and held on for dear life Tbe water retreated and be looked about for his charge Poor Johnson was nowhere to be seen He had not tbe strength to reist that last road assault and went Into the sea It seems impossible that he could have reached the shore alive If he has reached shore no one has seen or besrd of him Tiere was a ray of hope for the Captain and his two remaining companions when by straining their eves tbey could see through the darkness a myriad of little lights they looked like fireflies flitting about tbe shore It was Captain Brown of the lighthouse and his assistants rushing up and down the rocks in their efforts to do something to aid the unfortunates aboard the wrecked wrecker It was not nntll daylight however that they could accomplish anything The schooner had by this time fought itself clear of the cruel rocks near tbe lightkeepers wharf and plunged desperatelv upon tbe little narrow beach at Pilot cove Tbe storm was easing up a bit and the lighthouse men resolved to risk trying to board the hulk They bad to watch their chance when the breakers alter dashing up againsi me cliffs bounded away again to recuperate for a fresh assault This gave them a footing all tbe way to the bow of the ves sel The men on board were quick to ai vine what was Intended for nothing C3uld be heard above the awful din of that storm and securing a portion of a twisted and distorted rope ladder the best they had left thev threw it over the bow making tbe upper end fast itn i4 nf tv hrA Jrthnsnn was certainly drowned and the remaining the aid of this the lighthouse men reached Din freorpe Baker and James the schooner Harmsen and his com Dolan have either met a similar fate or panions were found stiffened and be are adrift somewhere in midocean numbed as me resun oi Baker and Dolan were the first to

to belp themselves as much as Ing and roaring surf and reach the rocks I possible in getting ashore This was in safety Baker and Dolan got In but nnallv accomplished only with the great hirf rhmM tn dltScnltv and not until several of the follow them a sudden lurch of the doomed party narrowly escaped being caught by vessel snapped the fastenings that held I the breakers which seemed to grow even the little craft fast to the schooner and more violent now as thouih angry at hurled it into the sea Like a cat It landed having been cheated of their prey onus feet and the two divers zing nd hands helped tbe rescued wreckers tbe oars pulled for their lives They np the steep incline which leads to Tap knew ttat but one chance in five was tain Brown sdwelline Here Mrs Brown theirs but they

OUS wave IU33CVJ iuv in tbe air like a cork the Stout hearted lads shed tears and remained silent Dry doming was pruiucu iv uv bruised and almost rigid limbs were chaffed and rubbed and they were given cup after cup of the invigorating bever aje until soon they began to feel like themselves again Harmsen even had tbe hardihood to joke about his awful ex perience Meanwhile CaptAln Brown men returned to the beach or rather the cliffs and inaugurated a search for other miss ine ones Every nooV and corner was searched from Point Diablo to the lighthouse Nothing however but wreckage frnm the schooDer could be found otb ing could be seen of the boat in which Baker and Dolan had left the schooner nor could any dead bodies be found The schooner is a total wreck It lies that is what is left of it well up on tbe little beach at low tide bow on The Ore which had consumed most of tbe interior while the sea was currying on its carnival of destruction outside was extinguished by tbe breakers fter the deck had been burned through As she appeared yes frr she was a charred and crushed on the wrecker cauzht a glimpse of tbera and praed for their safet But they probably prayed In vain for after a few moments had passed the keenest eye aboard could discern them no more and neither of them not evn their boat have been seen since so far as Is known There was yet one more lifeboat aboard and in tbnt the twelve men who remained must take their chances Crash went the schooner on the rocks for the third time throwing every man of them sprawline upon the deck Tbere was no time to lose and nervous barnis grasv tno boat lashings where Canttin Harmsen bade them make ready for the last ensnee Tbere was a momentary cessrtion of hostilities on tbe part of th elements It seemed as if the fates had decided to be merciful The drenched and benumbed wreckers jumped quickly Into tbe rocki jg and plunging vawj Ssven of them tilled the seats and the eighth en sconsced himself in the bow Jump in quick Cap shouted one of the lads who had seated himself at the oars ter waa taken aft the hulk tn rather a battered tip condition It appears tnas while clinging to the rigging the ratlines were burned away beneatn mm ana fell heavily unon the deck injuring his back and bruising himself generally He encceeded in reaching a place of safety however before being washed overboard Captain Brown who has charge of the Point Bonita lighthouse says he noticed the schooner wa In distress some time before he recerred word to signal the we eating stations The vessel was dragging her anchors despite the fact wet iour oi them had been lowered When the signal was called for he gave the required blasts with the big siren and then repeated tbem for some time after They may not have been heard he says but at all events no response came When the next call for help came at 2 clock Friday morning be savs that he signaled for an hour steadily Finally a flash light was ob served in the neighborhood of the wtu House and he knew that he had been beard I have been on this point for twentv three years said the captain yesterday but in all that time rnevtfr experienced such a storm aa this one i on can lm agine wbat a gale was blowme when I tell you that it was impossible for me or my men to stand erect on any part of the point We had to crawl for fear of being blown off tbe cliffs Even the tans oi my windmill were blown out I had all of my men out with lanterns as soon as we knew that the schooner was on the rocks and did everything possible to aid them We could not accomplish much however until daylight After getting the three men off the wreck we searched the rocks and beach everywhere In the neighborhood of the point for some trace of the three who are still missing bat without success We are still looking for tbem Captain Whitelaw estimated tbe value oi the Samson last evening at WW He said that he was insured for about 10 000 Tbe schooner was comparatively new having been built by Hay Wngbt in this city about five years ago Not long ago Mr Whitelaw had her completely overhauled and considered her an unusu ally stanch waft She stood the heavy storms of last winter at the same place where she was wrecked and also behaved well during the heavv gales of last month But having neither sails to speak of nor steam she was totally at the mercy of the elements when once her archor chains gave way A few large blocks used on the derrick were saved in addition to two in complete diving suits He has little hope of saving much of the machinery or ma terial recently recovered from the wrecked steamer New York The tools were all ruined bv the fire and 4oO feet of new and expensive air hose used by the divers was burned Captain Whitelaw says it will be very difficult to rep ace his lost wreck ing outfit Captain Whitelaw was at one time the most successful wrecker or the Coast but during the past few years as sailors put it luck has bean against him Two years ago be lost the wrecker hitelaw which was one of the best known old scows on the bay She went on tbe rocks while wrecking the Joseph Spinney near Russian gulch The Spinney was an Amen can ship bound for San Francisco from New York when driven close in snore in a storm and abandoned by her crew She had on board a valuable cargo of merchan dise and for several days after she was abandoned she drifted about a splendid prize for some enterpr sing towboat A tug did finally start up the coast for her but on that day she went on the rocks and was wrecked The wrecker hitelaw finished her and got considerable cargo off ber besides any quantity of ma chinery spars and ngg rtg In tbe height of her success the wrecker was caught bv a violent storm and in a few short hours was reduced to the helpless condition of the Spinney She was a total loss but there was 17 000 ot in surance on her which went far toward compensating the owner for bis loss Captain hitelaw is also tne owner oi ths bark Dominion so long out from this citv for Port Townsend and for the safety wllrh arnvn fears are expressed The vessel left here on December 5th In ballast and has not been heard of since Thirty twodsyfis considered an unusually long passage to the 6ound but the under writers have not yet given up the old bark and even a few seafaring men in cllnetothe belief that the vessel is still afloat There is one ebsnee of the Do minion being safe and that is that she may have put far out to sea to escape the storm which sunk the MonUerrat and Keweenaw Strangely enough Whitelaw once owned the Montserrat and it was from him that Captain Blackburn bought her Son ofWildidle Firstinthe Milroy np by five lengths Chemuck beating Ri cardo by a length for the place Silver stumbled near the half

handicap and the Kentucky stable candidate Jim Flood was a beaten second with Charroion a game but a far off third The distance was a mile and five horses contended The race was figured to lie between Lovdal and Jim Flood Charmion being conceded only an outride chance Lovdal was the choice ot the plungers bntJim Fiood people expected him to strine the field out and have enough left in the stretch to hold off LovdaL Therefore Jim Flood carried a lot of money placed at odds never better than 7 to 5 Lovdal opened at even money and went to the post a shade shorter Jim Flood had the a i a Inn at

easily while Griffin was working on Lovdal and generally reducing the distance that separated him from the leader After the balf mile post was passed the distance between the first and second horses commenced to narrow down At the apex of the big bend Lovdal was on even terms with Jim Flood Flood hung to it for a little while longer but coming Into the stretcn ne was uu mistekably beaten barring an accident He could not stand the drive necessary to keep him up and Lovdal simply ran over him winning miiv hut verv tired by two lengths Charmion outstayed the others and was third away oft The race was worth 900 gross to the winner and the win was a popular one both Griffin and the horse being roundly applauded when they returned to the stand The stake stuck out of a mediocre card mply by

the opinion of the bupreme Court that it was the duty of Justice Harrison to advise his client to the best of his ability The Court adds Butlt happened that a tew weeks before the satdCth day oi

been nominated as a candidate for Justice ol this court that he was practically sure of lection and that if he should draw up said writings and witness them any Superior Judge before whom any litigation concerning the matter might come would be deterred Hnin rlffht bv the knowledge that one ot the conspirators was a Justice of the Supreme Court and upon appeal that the other Justices ot this court would be swerved from their duty because one 01 me anegea con spirators would associated th them on the bench And it is contended that on account of this lmagiuary state of facta founded on no evidence respondent had free rein to Indulge in whatever insulting and contemptuous language his fancy may conjure up concerning a Justice of thiB court The opinion reproduces a portion of the contemptuous language employed by Philhrnnlr in his brief Havine character ized Justice Harrison as one of the chief conspirators he denounces what he calls the secret transaction ui cfwuiwii ww as this most impudent and unspeakably wicked scheme Having said There thev all were Ralph Harrison Milton Eisner William Newman Benjamin Newman and Executor Raveley secretly assembled solely by reason of

sure that the impartiality of the court will cot be disturbed by atoy lnflaence of fear or favor And clearly nothing teDds more Jo disturb that impartiality than a menace that the decision ot a cause a certain way will destroy or greatly injure tne gooa name ui who shall make it And when the punish men tot such an offense is clearly within tha Jurisdiction of the conrt as In the case of one Of 1U

to it hearing to other business but to have overlooked it would have been violate our duty Invite future disrespect and indig niltes and establish a precedent which would nrtri tha Conrt It offenses of a similar character should be called to 1U attention la the future It may be not out of place to say that we have been lenient to the respondent for past offenses of a character similar to the one now before us though not so flagrant and that his attention has heretofore been directly called to hit disregard of his duties a an at torney in this respect In a petition for rehearing he used disrespectful language toward a commissioner of the court who haa prepared the opinion in the cae for which perhaps he should have been called to ac count at the time but more recently we were compelled to strikeout his brief in another caseHor disrespectful language Even now we regret that cannot ee some escape from the necessity of imposing the penalty which seems to be imperatively demanded Our conclusion 1 that by filing said briet Respondent Bhllbrook has violated his duty a an attorney to maintain the respect due to the courts of Justice and Judicial oncers and to abstain from offensive personality and to advance no fact prejudicial tothe honor or reputation of a party or witneaa unless required by the Jnttlee of the cause with which he is charged as declared In
