AN ACCOUNT OF
WRECKED BOAT
GIVEN BY PILOT JOHNSON TO
THE CORDOVA DAILY
TIMES
Part of the crew of the steamer
Pavlof that was wrecked on an un
chartered reef near Tugiday island
south of Kodiak, arrived at Cor
dova recently, and Pilot Gregor
Johnson gave the following ac
count of the accident:
“We left King Cove on February
13, and had fine weather until we
reached Shelkof straits, where a
heavy northwest wind was blow
ing and we were unable to go
through the straits. We ran be
fore the wind and on Tuesday,
last when off the southwest end of
Kodiak island we struck an un
chartered reef and lost our propel
ler. Five minutes after striking
we drifted off the rock and let go
an anchor in thirteen fathoms of
water. We stayed there until the
following evening, when a blow set
in from the northwest. During
the night the wind changed to the
northeast and increased until it be
came a gale. Early the follow
ing morning the ship dropped away
from anchorage. Two more an
chors were dropped and we broke
away from them.
“We fully expected to drift on
top of the reef, but finally got
clear and drifted toward the sand
banks on Tugiday island, where
the Pavlof stranded at 12:30 o'
clock Thursday afternoon. We im
mediately took supplies ashore and
camped on the beach that night.
Friday the wind abated and the
ship is now in a fairly good posi
tion, and if a tug was available
could be pulled off the sandbank.
The steamer Alameda reached us
Friday at noon, and tried to pull
the Pavlof off with a hawser, "but
it parted, and as the captain did
not want to wait for the next tide,
he brought us to Cordova.”
The Pavlof was formerly the
steamer A. G. Lindsay. She was
built at Detroit in 1889; her gross
tonnage was 1,085, and net ton
nage 687, with an indicated horse
power of 880, and a registered
crew of 46. Was owned by the
Pacific American Fisheries Com
' pany, of Bellingham, Wash: The
vessel was on her way to Herren
deen bay with a cargo of material
for the erection of a new cannery.

HOW CHINESE TREAT
THEIR SERVANTS
Visiting a high-class Chinese
lady, one is impressed with the
number of children and servants
that seem to be swarming over
the place.
When one of a family has a dis
tinction or wealth, all the poor re
latives come to dwell with him. Li
Hung-chang built a house in Shan
ghai in which to live when he
should retire to private life. When
asked why he built so far from his
home province, he said he built as
far as posible from his native town
hoping that his poor relations could
not obtain the money to come to
Shanghai.
The servants in a Chinese family
are not expensive, s ofar as wages
are concerned, but they cost a great
deal in perquisites. They rarely
receive more than two dollars a
mor. h, but they are given their
food, and they help themselves la
vishly to anything they may desire.
They dress themselves from the old
clothing of the family, freely take
the hairpins and the toilet articles
of the mistress,clothe their child
ren from the common wardrobe and
in fact, are a part of the family.
There is a peculiar democratic
custom which servants may claim,
but which is seldom used—the right
of reviling the family when dis
charged. An old . serving-woman
employed in the family of the
youngest son of Li Hung-chang was
discharged for a reason that evid
ently did not appeal to her sense of
justice. She sat beneath the gate
way and for three hours called
down curses upon Li family at the
top of her voice. This happened on
one of the principal streets of
Shanghai, and the police passed and
repased, but no one tried to stop
her
The house steward made two or
three attempts to pursuade her to
V # S?

leave,but she would turn her facile
tongue upon him and he would ga
ther his skirts in his hands and
start on a most undignified run
for the house, evidently believing
discretion to be the better part of
valor. At the end of three hours,
when she was completely exhausted
she was led away.
The Chinese lady and her ser
vants gossip together as friends,
rooms are entered without warning,
conversations interrupted, and sug
gestions offered which, to the for
eigner seem to be of the grossest
impertinence. This intimacy is due
partly to the restricted life the lady
leads and partly to the fact that
many of the servants are distant
relatives.
Practically the only news from
ihe outside world that comes to the
woman behind the walls is brought
by her sons or by the servants. She
makes few visits, and these usually
at the home of some relative, en
tering her closely covered chair
within her courtyard and being car
ried swiftly to the courtyard of the
house where she is to visit.

CURIOSITES OF ANIMALS
There are a great many strange
facts about animals and insects that
seem to defy explanation. Here
Tire a few:
A fly will crawl to the top of a
widow pain, fly back to the bottom
and crawl up again. Hardly ever
does it fly up and crawl down. It
has been known to repeat this for
mer act over 30 times before stop
ping.
Hens always scratch for food
with the sun behind them. A blind
hen always manages to get the sun
behind her when scratching, and
she will miss but few bits of food.
Cats hardly ever lie with their
feet to the fire. In most cases
they lie instead with their left side
to it. Dogs invariably lie with
ontstretched paws to the fire.
A mouse overlooks a perfectly
safe food supply, sufficient for a
meal or two to enjoy the perilous
pleasures of an unlimited store. It
will hide near the food and come
out to nibble when hungry, for it
is not true that a mouse will seek
its hole at the first alarm.
If a small snake is kept in cap
tivity and fed and cared for, it will
become tame, and after a few
months crawl to its captor for food
when approached. This is true es
pecially of the small and harmless
varieties.
The habit of dogs in turning
around several times before lying
down is said to be one of the wild
traits of this animal’s prehistoric
ancestors who did so to make a bed
in the grasses and leaves. Foxes
and wolves have the same habit
when lying down in the open where
there is no grass.
The unerring ability of the hom
ing pigeon to find its former abode
is not due to a sense of location,
but rather to the natural instinct
which cats and dogs have display
ed when taken from their homes.
Elephants are noted for their
memory in recalling a kindnes or
an injury; also for their timidity
at the sight of a mouse and refusal
to cross a bridge or other structure
they are doubtful of bearing their
enormous weight.
