THOUGHT THEY
WERE DOOMED
School Directors Badly
Scared While on an
Excursion.
Feared That the Fearless Would
Be Swamped by the
Shenandoah.
A Collision Between the Steamers
T. C. Walker and Hnmbo'.dt
Narrowly Averted.
The big American ship Shenandoah had
a very lively time of it in the wind and
fog iast week. For three days she was off
the Farallones and on one occasion came
veiy near to going ashore. The fog was
very thicK and the lookout saw the light
just in time to give the warning. Captain
Dunphy put his ship about and the dan
ger was averte I in the nick of time.
Saturday last the tug Fearless picked the
b'henandoah up and towed her into
port.
The Fearless was out with the School
Directors and their friends, and among
me latter was Captain "Dan" Haskell, the
1 i ot. Haskell was the first to .-i^'u the
Shenandoah and as the tug was home
ward-bound Cap: at Randall ran down 10
the big ship. A small boat was lowered
and Captain Haskeil was put aboard to
V'lot her in, while the Fearless' hawser
vis put aboard also. Then the School
I 1 rectors and their friends had an experi
ence that they will not forget in a hurry.
When everything was made fa-! and the
Fearless began to forge ahead the exctie
inpnt Ofgan.
When the Shenandoah would b° on the
cr<r?t 0! a mountainous wave the Fearless
would be down in the trough of the sea,
and to the eyes of the frightened excur
sionists it loosed as though the big ship
was coming down right on top of them.
The next minute, however, the positiom
would be reversed, and the people on the
tug thought they were going to be pulled
buck on top of the ship. In fact so sure
were some of the excur-ionists that this
was coins to happen that two or three of
them seized axes and wanted to cut the
hawser. It was a heavy tow, but the Fear
less moved along as though she were run
ning light, and the excursionists soon got
over their scare and enjoyed the Meht.
The seasickness that had laid hold of
everybody at oard disappeared and the last
part of the trip, though by far and away
the roughest, was voted the most enjoya
ble.
The Shenandoah has been chartered to
load wiieat for England, and will taKe
away over sooo ton?, the largest cargo that
will leave ban Francisco this teason. Cap
tain Dunpby will not go out on her, as
Captain Murphy, her old commander, is
on h s way from the East to take c!iart,'».
Captain George \\ heeler sailed to-d iy
for Puset Sound on the British ship Wii
iielm Tell as coast pilot.
The British tramp steamer Amarapoora
is in trouble again. Her capta.n had a
great deal of dilliculty in getting her away
Irorn here and when Pueet Sound was
reached she was libeled for debts incurred
there on a prevous voyage. Everything
wus finally arrange!, however, and sue
pot away frtm Vancouver, B. C, for Tien
tsin, C'tiina. Now conies a cablegram
siating ihat she l:a< put into Yokohama
With her propeller da in aged.
The river steamer T. C. Walker and the
crack coasting steamer Humboidt nar
jowly escaped a collision yesterday. The
Walker was coming into her slip when
orders were given t ■ tier captain to go to
another wharf. In lucking out her stem
swung around an 1 us the Humbo dt was
going asisrn at the same time it looked
for a moment as if the latter would hare
her side torn out. Both captains went
full speed ahead, however, and the result
was that both steamers escaped with a lew
hcratcnes.
A'lne Cuy of Puabla arrived from Pnget
!?ound ports yesterday, and the officer*
say it was the most d sagreeable round
trip they ever experienced. It rained all
the way up tne coast until Victoria, B. C,
was rea heJ, when it began to snow. It
rained alt tne time the vessel was on '.he
sound, ani rnin and sleet followed them
until Point Reyes was reached. Not one
of tne fleet of lumber schooners that got
out of Grays Hartor, nine days ago, was
spoken, and as the wind outside is still
from the southeast, it will be several days
before they are heard irom.

Cap'aln M^rie of ths J?ane d'Arc
Rescued by "Jim" McCracken
of the iVlariposa.fi
Had it not been for the bravery of
"Jim" McCracken, one of the sail
ors on the steamer Mariposa, Cap
tain Mahe of the French bark Jeane
d'Arc would surely have succeeded in
taking his own life last Monday after
noon. As it is both he and his re-cuer
are confined to the;r berths under eire of
physicians. Captain Mahe is seriously
ill and it will be several days tefore Mc-
Cracken is able to be about again.
The Jeane d'Arc arrived from Cardiff
Inst Saturday and on Monday Cai tain
Mahe went ashore to tiansact tome busi
ness. At the agent's he secured all the
papers and parcels for the crew and
started for the ship's boat. On the
way to the front he m inlaid his parcels
Hi:d musing hi? way brought ap at Pacific
street wharf. There he nvditated for a
time and then jumped overboard.
McCrucken jumped from the rail of the
Mariposa after him and bad a great strug
gle to save the Frencbmnn. Captain
Mahe fought like a tiger to get away and
the sailor's lower limbs are black and bine
from coming in contact with the captain's
feet and his arms are strained from the
-trugule. He finally got tho captain to
the ship's side and a sailor named Con
sidine threw him a ror>e with which bath
nien were haul d aboard. McCracken was
pat to bedHnrl Captain Marts was attended
to, after which he was sent out to his own
ship. Yesterday a boat came ashore for a
doctor and nis report is that th* captain
wil not be ashore for some time to come.
McCracfcen will be about to-day and says
he would never have gone to bed had it
not been for the bruises on his le^s.
SENTENCED FOR LIFE.
A 1 ;idly Constructed Law, bat Still It
Will Hold.
Josiah Lovren, convicted of the crime
of attempting to wreck and "rob"
a train on the Southern Pacific
Railroad, made a fight on a technicality
to save being sent to the State Prison for
tne term of his natural life. However,
the Supreme Court says that lie must tatte
the punishment eiven him by the court.
On May 6, 1896. l.ovren, I'.ritt, AlcCail,
Hayties and Arde.l, residents ol Tulare
County, entered into a conspiracy to
wreck one o: the irains near Goshen. in
;he nttempt to carry out the plot McCall
was kil cd.
Lovren was convicted under a legisla
tive act known hs the "train wrecuing
act." In his defense in the Supreme
Court his attorney set up that the iaw was
unconstitutional in this, that the law of
tne State declared that the heading of
every act shall etubracs but one subject,
but that in the body of tuis act a penally
|g imposed for attempting to "rob a
train." The Supreme Court holds that
while itis impossible to "rob a tra n" and
while the act is very rudeiy drawn still
the intent is niu i.fes and the Jaw L
sufficiently strong to make the judgment
of ihe lower court hold cood.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1807.
TRAINING
BOYS TO
DO MURDER
More Than a Hundred in
the Hands of the
Highbinders.
ARE SLAVES TO THE SOCIETIES.
Little Fellows Sold in Bondage
by Their Impecunious
Parents.
MISSIONARIES ASKED TO FREE fill
The Matter Will Be Placed in the
Hands of the Society for the
Protection of Children.
The ladies of the Methodist Mission
House at 9iG Washington street were re
quested to rescue two slave boys yesier
dav. Owing to the fact that the slaves
were boys the mission people could do
nothing and the case will be referred to
the Eureka Society for the Protection of
Children.
An investigation of the case developed
the fact that there are' fully one hundred
slave boys in Chinatown, notwithstand
ing the assertions of the Chinese that
there are no male slaves in this country.
It has been no secret that there are large
numbers of female slaves Here, but here
tofore all Chinamen have strenuously de
nied the existence of males in bondage in
the United State?, i
The two boys in question are aped re
spectively 3 and 4 years, and it is claimed
by the men who made the complaint that
they vrtre recently brought Irom China by
a woman who sold them to keepers of
house* of ill- am», where they will te
raised up amid vile surroundings and
eventually become members of highbinder
societies*.
One of the boys is at a house on Bart
leit alley, between JacKson and Pacitic,
and is said to have been sold tor me sum
of $2GI. The other is in a house on the
comer of Dupont and Pacific and brought
$391. They were brought over from China
by a woman, who toot her own boys there
ana left them with relatives, and then
brought these as saves in order to make
her expenses. The certificate* of her
children were used for the slave boys and
it is supposed that she will send the certi
ficates back by mail when she desires to
have her children come over.
Chin Woy and Leong Ah Sing, who are
said to be the owners of the boy?, were
seen yesterday regarding the report, and
both denied that the boys were slaves.
Both said that the children were their
boys and said that no male slaves were
kept anywhere in this country. From
other sources, however, it was teamed that
it is customary for tne highbinder so
cieties to buy little boys and place them
in homes of evil repute where they are
kept and trained.
[t is claimed that Yuen Sam, a clerk in
a store on Jackson street, drew up the
bills of sale in the cases of the two boys,
but an inquiry at the store resulted in
nothing but a ecaie for the people there,
because Sergeant Shea happened to stand
i in front of the door at the time of t lie in
'' quiry. It wus claimed that Yuen Sam did
. not work there and that he was not known
i to the proprietors.
According io the informant whence
comes the report there are at the present
time in Chinatown nut less than 100 boys,
ranging from 3 to In years of age, who are
; held in housps of i.l lame for the purpose
of being educated into tho mysteries of the
i various highbinder societies. In addition
| to these there ure boy slaves in many of
I the families of the merchants, where they
i are detained until they serve out the in
, debtcdness of the parent or the debt is
j liqnidatpd in some other way.
According to the peculiar code of morals
which covern Chinese in their bu-iness
transactions with each otter these slaves
will never dream ot obtaining their liberty
by callin? in the aid of the laws of the
land, for they look upon their servitnde as
a debt of honor which is rigidJy regarded.
The ooys who become hishbinders are
held as slaves until they reach an age
when they are fully versed in all the
secrets of the work and ar«« then freed and
utilized by the societies in their own pecu
liar way.
The matter will bo reported to Secretary
Holnrook to-day and will be sifted as
thoroughly as questions pertaining to
Chinese internal affairs usually are.
