WELL KNOWN SEA CAPTAIN
DROWNED IN SAN FRANCISCO
SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 10.—iTtvo
Pacific ocean, lashed by a forty milej
gale, claimed another life this morning
and the flags along the waterfront i
are floating at half mast today in trib
ute to a tried and true sailor who
"died on duty.”
Captain James M. Hays, San Fran
cisco bar pilot and veteran Pacific
Coast skipper, was drowned early this
morning off the lightship, nine miles
southwest of the Golden Gate, when
a, hoarding yawl from the pilot boat
Adventuress capsized. The lives of
two seamen vyith him in the small
caft were endangered.
Captain Hays was one of a squad
of six pilots who put to sea last night
to relieve the pilot schooner Oracle S.
off the heads and take up the per
petual wait for incoming vessels. He
was the “first trick” man. It was his
turn to board the first incoming ship.
IN MODERATE GALE
At 3 o’clock the Santa Rita of the
W. It. Grace South American fleet ap
peared in the offing and whisteled for
a pilot. The Advnturess was hove to
and rockng in what the sailors term
a moderate gae.
It was no rougher than it is fifty
times a year off the Gate, hut the dan
ger of hoarding the lines was increased
by unusual darkness. His associates
tried to persuade him to wait for sun
rise before risking the passage to the
Santa Itita, hut Captain Hays persist
ed. "It's my turn. He blew for a pilot
and I’m going,” lie said.
So Captain Hays ordered the little
yawl lowered over the side with him
self and two seamen. Forty feet away
from the Adventuress it was struck
by a wave and turned bottom up. The
three men were thrown struggling into
the water.
OTHER PILOTS WATCH
The other pilots—Captain C. F. Gle
low, John .1. Shea, M. Anderson, Mit
chell Tyson and Alex Swanson—all
were watching from the deck. Hur
riedly they lowered I lie second yawl
and themselves manned it for rescue
The two sailor^ were taken from the
water little the worse for ther mishap.
But Captain Hays, when the small
boat reached him, was unconscious and
floating face up. He was taken aboard
the Adventuress, which began a race
for port.
Inside Fort Point the whistle was
i blown for assistance and the crew of
the South Side life saving station put
I out into the bay. They boarded the
Adventuress and tried first aid meth
oibs to resuscitate Captain Hays. Their
efforts were fruitless, anil when the
Harbor Hospital was reached at 5 a.
m. he was dead.
POPULAR THIRTY YEARS
Captain Hays was 57 yeas old and
was known from Mexico to Alaska.
Previous to his appointment to the
pilot association in 1903 he was a cap
tain in the service of the Alaska Com
mercial Company. His first command
was the schooner Kodiak and his last
the steamer St. Paul, flagship of the
fleet.
Of all the captains making the dan
gerous northern run in the gold rush
days, Hays was probably the best ill
found, the best known and the best
liked. He was personally acquainted
with nearly all the famous characters
of the Alaska of thirty years ago, and
was regarded as a veritable encyclo
pedia on the north coast.
Captain Hays was born in West
chester County, New York, and re
ceived his first nautical experience
aboard the New York state training
ship id. Mary’s. He came to the Pa
cific i'oast following his graduation.
He was a member of the San Francisco
Lodge of Elks and the Olympic and
Transportation clubs.
Captain Hays is survived by a widow
a son, Everett, and two daughters,
Mrs. Florence Weaver and Mrs. Louise
McClellon. He lived at 1449 Sixth
avenue.
Tito drowning this morning is the
first fatal accident to a San Francisco
pilot in many years.

THE REAL VALUE OF
CORRECT DIAGNOSIS
A clergman living near Leyden was
the father of thirteen children. The
eldest, born December 31, 1068, was
Herman Boerhaave, accounted by
many the most famous physician not
only of the 18th but probably of any
century. He died of gout In 1738.
He was nn indefatigable teacher,
sometimes lecturing live hours a day
to his students at Leyden. He was
the first to give separate lectures on
ophtalmology (the science of disease
of the eye) and to use a magnifying
glass in the examination of the eye.
He combined with a desire to study
disease at the bedside, a freedom
from theoretical and philosophical in
fluence which led him to use the
most modern diagnostic apparatus
which he could .secure. He was sc
famous thill a. Chinese official once
sent him a letter addressed .simply
“To the most famous physician in
Europe.” His max'im was "Simplic
ity is the seal of truth.”
The modern diagnosis of disease
aims to employ every method which
will reveal the exact mental and phy
sical condition of the patient. Psy
cho-analyjfts will reveal the depths of
the patient’s mind almost as clearly
as the X-ray shows the broken hone
hidden beneath the body tissues.
The pressure of the blood against the
vessel walls may he accurately
