2 •old wtter before the chain on the rope worked correctly. When tenderly lifted from his peril cm situation it was ascertained he was almost dead. Proper restoratives brought him through, and the other Bine men in, tbe vessel were sot off, but not without-considerable difficulty, sev eral of them' and their brave rescuers boing almost drowned before the last anan was safety landed on shore. TUB VESSEL BREAKING. The vessel was breaking to pieces rapidly and nothing now remained of the masts exeeptt a portion of the mi/. ■enmest which waa partly gone; the bowsprit disappeared when she struck the wharf. The rudder was knocked off oa striking the bench and her sides be ing badly battered aud strained, and altogether within a few minutes the •rand, tine looking bark which, a half hour before was a pride to its owners, was now a dilapidated looking wreck. The deck load of lumber was washing aebore and the timbers coming in con tact with the sailors on being rescued ■cade the saving of the crew a dangerous one and several narrow escapes were averted. THB CAPTAIN THB LAST MAN OFF. The captain was the last man .to leave ■He vessel. He was interviewed by a Herald reporter shortly after reaching dry land. Captain Sprague is a young man, probably 35 years of age, but has followed tbe aea most of hia life), and ie considered a reliable and carefal man. The skioper felt very badly over the loss of hia vessel. He could not account for the breaking ol the chains around the windlaea. The anchor did not drag, but 150 fathoms of chain were lost, which will be recovered. The Jewett waa built at Port Ludlow in 1887 and cost about |30.000. Her cargo waa valued at $8000. The vessel wae owned by the Gardner Mill company of San Francisco, with the exception of a one-fourth interest. Tbe captain owned one-edghth and the Kenkhoff-Cuzner Lumber company of this city tbe other eightfa. The cap tain's porticn was insured lor $2000 and also tbe Keickboff-Cuzner'B'part but for how much ia not known. It is likely tbe Gardner Mill company is fully in sured, but the captain thinks not. Tbe captain saved all ad his instru ments and papers. The unfortunate sailors lost their all. They ale thankful that their lives were saved. THB THEMBNDOITS SSBtAS. To give the reader an idea of the height of the angry waves, after the vessel strnck the beach the crew ascended the mizzen rigging, to prevent themselves from being wasbsed into the sea. Tbe inhabitants of Redondo state it was tbe worst blow Redondo had ever experienced within their knowledge. The Redondo Beach eomjeany is in no way responsible for the wrecking of the vessel, they lent every asaicptance. The captain and crew speak in the highest terms of those who bravely rescued them and the timely aid given. THE WRECK'S POSITION. The vessel, or at least what is left of her, lies exactly opposite to the casino, between the bath honse aisd the wharf. When the tide was at its height yester day and the waves were constantly sweeping over the ill-fated ship it was a beautiful sight, one seldom witnesaed. The craft was gradually being hnrled higher on the beach, and being broken to pieces at every bound. All last evening anothisr heavy gale prevailed, and it is donbtmd ii much of tbe vessel will be lett by this morning, if the wind keeps np its fury. Moat bill of the lumber will no 'tonbtbe aaved. THB BAILORS SUFI'BBINfJ. Late last night it was learned that several of the rescued sailors were liable to die from expoanre. The un fortunate seamen were pit tbe mercy of the chilly waters and ibarful gale for hours. All of the crew are fin c specimens of manhood, bnt the orcleai has made some of them suffer from tbe awful torture they had to pass through. They are receiving every attention. The loss of their clothing is keenly felt by tbe poor fellows, bat the will receive all the immediate relief they require. The wharf will be repaired immedi ately. Bnt for the skillful efforts ol tbe captain and crew the aivtire structure might have been carried away by the fast drifting vessel that twas doomed to go to pieces. _ At Santa Monica. At Santa Monica the wind waa very high, but the wharf did not seem to feel tbe waves, the water being smooth. The Corona laid alongside for two hours discharging her cargo. The>swells break ing nnder the wharf seemed to form a counter cnrrent, which made smooth water on-each side. The fishing sloop Caroline, with a crew ol two men, (Meson and Haskell, loat bar mast last night abont midnight sev eral miles out at sea dnring the gale. The boat was washed ashore ait the eafion. The two men were pickied up by tne tug Collia and are safe on board of her. The big wharf could not have had a more severe teet than thia gale, but waa as solid and devoid oi tremora as on a summer day. _ At Newport. Newport, Feb. 10.—The Prosper, a lain veaael laden witb 91)0.000 ieet of lumber, dragged her anchor nnder the pressure oi the gale and waa blown onto a eand-epit, where she stuck, fast, but fortunately no damage wae done, and "aha remains in shape to be pulled off as soon as tbe weather becomes sufficiently calm. The big Newport wharf sustained no damage. No Danger of Blockades.

Damage small. LOS ANGELES HERALD; SUNDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 11, 1894. GORGEOUS NIGHT FETES. The trail or Foinnelt to Bo Otven Id Ihle City. For reveral days past a number of < uul.c-spirited citizens, interested in LioruoCag tbe wellare of this city, have been considering the poasibility of a carnival season during the month of April, and to that end have arranged with Jaa. Tain & Sons to send a repre sentative here to consult with them aa to tbe leaaibiiity of producing in Los An geloe their gorgeous historical spectacle, The Lnßt Days of 1 :., ■ Mr. O. E. Skiff, manager of the Paine, came here for that purpose, and alter consulting with railroad companies re garding extensive and numuroua ex cursions, has reported favorably on this proposition, and it now rests with tbe citizens of Loa Angelea if they may have the same great attraction that bas proven euch a drawing power to the citieß of the eaat, for whenever this out of door spectacle haa been given thousands and thousands of visitors have flocked to tne city to witness it. Tbe magnitude of this work may be realized when it ie understood that the exhibits proposed for Los Angeles will be identically the same as given by the Messrs. Fain at Coney Island, N. V., Chicago during the world's fair and other metropolitan cities of the eaet, representing a cost of nearly $50,000. The spectacle is given in the open air, nearly six acres of ground being re quired for the buildings, mountain, etc. An immense smpitheater is erected, seating some 12,000 persona. A great lake is prepared, representing the bay of Naples. Then tbe city of Pompeii is built with real buildings, such aa the famous Temple of Isis, bath bouaea, ampitheater, arches, with Mount Ve suvius in the distance; the city bo built being afae simile of the ancient Pompeii in style of architecture, streets, etc. Some 51)0 people participate in the fetes given nightly, including all the ancient Koman sports, games and pas times, with gorgeous processions of priests, choir boys, and Koman guards, gladiatorial contests, beautiful dance of the flower girls, etc., etc., each exhibit culminating with the realistic eruption of Vesuvius and complete destruction of the city. In addition to this there ie given nightly an extensive dieolay of Pain's flreworke, such aa was given at the World's Columbian expoaition. It is proposed to give 15 of these ex hibits in Los Angelea, giving three per week, thus extending over a period oi five weeks —advertising extensively every city within excursion distance of this city, believing this great work will arouße the interest of every one far and near and prove a wonderful stimulus to business by drawing thousands to tbe city during this carnival season. While the expense of the undertaking ia great, the promotere feel warranted in proceeding, providing sufficient en couragement can be secured by the Bale of season boxes, which will be erected in tbe grand stand. Here ie an oppor tunity for Los Angelea, for if the specta cle ia given here it will surely create just what the city now wants to enhanse its commercial interests. SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. The Santa Anll» Buuch on Sale at A uctlun. The Santa Anita ranch of Lucky Bald wla 19 the moat celebrated piece ol property in Southern California. It comprises a vaat extent of the very richest coil in the world, and ie provided with a plentiful eupply of water. Mr. Baldwin haa decided to meet the popu lar demand for email homee and baa put a large portion of the "jy^'" £ D *jpsßn t9 Eldridge & Company for aale at auction, Saturday, February 24th, on the prem ises. The portion selected compriaea the very choicest part of the famoue San Uabriel valley, and ia highly suitable for ail the moßt profitable forms of fruit culture, —walnuts, oranges, lemons, limea, almonda, and the vine are unex celled in their development, and large returns in that neighborhood, as is con clusively ahowu by the grovea and vine yards owned by Mr. Baldwin. This aale will give people of email meana an opportunity of buying tbe very cream of Southern California landa, which otherwiee would be beyond their meana. Mo finer location for homes or fruit culture can be found in the world, and as the aale ia without reserve or limit there is no question but what many will avail themaelvea of the grand opportun ity offered at this auction aale, Saturday, February 24th. On tine day, Messrs. Eaeton, Eldiidge A: Co. will rnn one of their special firtt-claes excuraions to tbe property, and it will without doubt be tbe largest excursion train ever having left Los Angeles. A number of citizens vißited the city ball yesterday and examined the new plane for the Third street tunnel, drawn last month by (Jity Engineer Dock weiler, in accordance with a motion ol Mr. Muneon, adopted by the city coun cil. The idea ia to build on a cheaper basis than that propoeed by the planß of four years ago, and yet have the tun nel ample and substantial enough for all poaeible travel and traffic. The length ia 1054 feet, againet 1080 feet in the old plana, and the cost will run lit tle if any above $100,000, whereas the old coat waa about $150,000. From Hill to the e&at portal ol the tunnel ia only 1 in 33 grade, and from the west portal at Hope to Flower street the grade is 1 in 49, making a very eaay means of quick communication between tbe western hill section and the main body ol tbe city. This improvement ia regarded as juet as important aa bridges and viaducts for tbe use of the whole city and should therefore be paid for by the city aa a whole, and not made a burden on a special district. Last evening waa the regular semi monthly meeting of the Fourth Ward Equal Suffrage league, which waa well attended. Seven new names were sdded to the liat of membership, two ol whom were gentlemen, and aeveral vißitora from the Woman's Suffrage as sociation, who very harmoniousry parti cipated in the discussion of How Are We to Get There ? We have a third E. B, L., and two weeks ago organized the E. S. L. of Eagle Rock valley, whose members are established workers.
