After. keeping a hackman busy for three Sours running hither and thither, the necessary Bars were fied, and a warrant for the arrest of the Wero sent to Asteria on the night best.

The Wrimore was taken charge of by a deputy United States marshal, and before she can be released her owners will have to furnish bardi in the sum of $500,000.
The reasons for the baste in this matter are that it is derir: b' that the sult should brought in the court here, as Upton's agent is here, and if the Wetmore should start for the Sound, in tow or otherwise, and be lost on the trip, the Zambest could collect nothing for the services she rendered,

"JEHU." -Hongkong-h-February, 1892- [From past experience we doubt not that our correspondent has ample grounds for complaint and with him we regret that he was prevented from exercising his right to the road, at the end of a carriage whip. He may rely that the Colonel will do all that is necessary.--Ed, H.K. T.]
AN ADVENTUROUS. VOPAGE.
THE "ZAMBESİ'S" EXPERIENCES. We have been courteously favoured by Captain Edwards of the "Upton" liner Zambist, which arrived in port this forcavon from Portland, with the following information respecting the voyage from Hongkong to Portland, Oregon, which be recently completed.
On rounding Cape Flattery a violent gale from the southwest was cacounter, with thick weather and heary sea, spray enveloping the ship in a regular smother. As it was imprac- ticable to keep on the course, the ship's head was turned to the wind and the engines slowed down. On Tuesday, the 8th Dec, the ship was some twenty-five miles south of the month of the Columbia, when a singular-looking craft was sighted three or four miles off the coast fir- ing signals of distress. On steaming down neat
her she was found to be the whale-bick steamer
Charles W. Wetmors from New York, bound to the Sound. She was flying signals which read: "Rudder disabled ; cannot steer."
RESCUING THE WHALEHACK. Captain Edwards set to work to pass hawser to the Wilmers by attaching buoys to the end of it and paying it out astern, and then steamed bick and forth, endeavoring to get the bowser ip such a position that the crew of the whaleback could sale it. After working for six hours this scheme was found impracticable, and finally a boat was launched by the Wetmore and the hawaer secured, carried on board and made last. As there was 'a very heavy sea running, and the Weimers with her cargo of machinery, was very heavy, the Zomless started up at a slow rate. and towed the Walmere the rest of the day and that night,
THE HAWSER FARTED.
Wednesday morning the hawier parted about 8 o'clock when they were within a quarter of a mile off the breakers at the mouth of the Columbia, and in a portion of great danger. After repeated efforts a second hawaer was made fast to the Wetmore, but not until Captain Edwards had rearly arrived at the conclusion to abandon her, but the captain begged not to be left, so he ran off a little and waited for a pilot. At 3 P.M. a pliot came aboad and they särted in. The tow was so heavy that it was found secessary to make another hawser fast to her on the port alde before crossing la.
HEAVY SEAS.
The seas on the bar were iremendous, making a clean sweep over both crafts. The officers of the Zambers on the bridge and house would have been swept away only for a'line stretched scross from the fron davits; to which they clung. In crossing in, the huge iron bits on the quarter, to which the second hawaer was fast, were broken away and the bawser parted, and the chances of the Walmare being towed in were very dublous, but they dually got through the breakers toto comparatively smooth water, and reached the wharf to Astoria alg o'clock on Wednesday
thing over $67,000, which was divided among
all concerned,
taken inte consideration by the court, such m In such a case a great many things have to be the value of the vessel saved and her cargo, the perl in which she was, the value of the rescuing vessel and cirgn, the amount of labour performed, and the risk run in saving the disabled ship, The salvage allowed is decided between the owners of the ship, the officers and crew-every one down to the cook getting a share according to the wages he is paid.,
THE SETTLEMENT OF THE "Zambest”—"Dutan!" case.
The court of admi-alty at Victoria, after inves tigating the Zambest-Fa-nie Dutard case, gave judgment that the Dutard was to blame for the colleton for not having a foghorn abord, The Zambert was navigated with skill and care; ard was compelled to go at a certain speed to keep herself in steering trim. The steamer was technically in error, and the damages would have 1n be divided. Concerning the salvage, the court held that the rehooner could not reach port by herself, and the award was made ax follows: Five-eighths to the owner of the vessel; one-fourth to the master, and one-eighth to the crew of the Zambest in ratio to their wages. The first opinion of the coast was that the Dutard should pay all costs, but at the request of her counsel the matter was held in Freserve for future argument.
