rROM SATURDAY’S DAILY
A welcome visitor arrived in
harbor this morning when the
cable shin Burnside made her
appearance, a joyful surprise
tc those dependant upon the
cable. The big ship had made
’he run up from Seattle in less
than sixty hours, and her ex
perts were ashore and right on
the job the moment she got
her anchor down.
A test was made in the of
fice to determine where the
break had occurred, which dem
onstrated that it was in the
harbor, but a short distance out
from the wharf. The grapnl?
were gotten out, but difficult
was experienced in locating the
rope close in, so the Burnside
went out almost to the buo>
off Charcoal Point where she
picked it up and then overran
:t back to the wharf, where a
splice was made this ofternoor
The rape showed where the
Alameda’s anchor had gripper
it when the vessel was m earb
in the week, and under the
wharf (he cement conduit had
been smashed by the pull of
the rope before it broke.
Those in charge of the Burn
sides are 'o be congratulated by
the people of this eommunit>
for thesr expedition in gettine
up here and the speed wit!
which they went to work to ge'
the cable back into commissior
again. This paper, with other
in the north, has kicked in th
past over the delay in effect
.rg rep: .rs, but this time i
takes its hat off and says, thank
jou.
