TOWBOAT BEACHED
IN HEAVY SQUALL

Pebble Beach

Emerick. skipper of the gasoline tow
boat George Baylcy, and Captain Cook,

escaped in a lifeboat to the shore at
Pebble beach from the George Bayley,
•which, according to report* received
here. :s being pounded to pieces in
the surf. The men left the estuary last
Saturday night to take the vessel to
Safita Cruz, where the craft would have
been used for fishing excursions.
High seas. and heavy winds overtook
the mariners near Pescadero. They
were caught unawares by a rolling
wave, which disabled the gasoline en
gine and left the boat at the mercy of
the sea. Another roller crashed into
the George Bayley and drove the tow
on the beach, but left It stranded far
'•enough from safe landing to put the
seamen in extreme Jeopardy.
The lifeboat was brought into serv
ice. Cook and Emerick launched the
frail craft and pulled for the shore,
which they made after a long, hard
struggle. They were powerless to
pave the Bayley, and reached here late
last night, when they said Captain
Em'erick's towboat was slowly going
to pieces in the breakers.
Captain Emerick has said he will
make a report to the rederal inspectors,
to save himself from losing his license.

"Link" Dennis, Widely Known,
Commits Suicide
OAKLAND, June 29. — A. L. Dennis,
commonly known as "Link" Dennis,
keeper for seven years of a saloon at
Seventh and Willow streets and one
of the most widely Ittiown negroes on

in his barroom in a dramatic manner

glass and set it before him on the bar.
Calling to a bar tender he invited all
the patrons in the resort to his \u25a0 side,
ordered a drink for each man and
\u25a0while his patrons drank beverages
quaffed the drug which ended his life
a few minutes later.
•'Goodby, all," he cried as he set the
glass down. ' "It's all over."
With that Dennis fell to the floor.
A negro named Stewart called the
police and the dying saloonman .was
taken to the receiving hospital.

Spirit of the Dance Is
Life of "Merry Widow"
Mabel Wilber as Sonia and "\u25a0 George Dameral as the Prince in "The j
Merry Widow." |
WALTZ OPERA IS
OAKLAND SUCCESS
Savage's Production of Lehar's
Masterpiece Wins a Big
Attendance
The spirit of music and the dance is
in "The Merry Widow,'' which is play
ing in Oakland this week and which
will begin a three weeks' engagement
at the van Ness theater Sunday night.
The Savage production is all that it
was promised to be, and the success
of the Viennese opera in this city is
already assured, according to box office
reports.
Not only is the music of "The Merry
Widow" pleasing to those who enjoy
light tonal offerings, but it is pleasing
to the serious minded and to the
pedants. There is 'a leading motif
which runs through the opera, and the
waltz which made "The Merry Widow"
famous is the final and complete de
velopment of the melodic thought.
OLD FAVORITES IX CAST
Oscar Figman, a brother of Max Fig
man, whose ; appearance in this- city
in "The Man on the Box" is well re
membered, plays the role of the prime
minister in "The Merry Widow."
Thomas Leary, an oldtime Tivoli favor
ite, is Nish; Mabel Wilber plays the
title role; Miss Georgene Leary is Na
talie, wife to Popoff, the prime minist
ter, and the other members of the. cast
are well placed In congenially lively
roles.
A large orchestra is , carried by the
Savage company and a chorus of beau
ties is no small part of the attractive
ness of the presentation.
OPERA IS ATTRACTIVE
New York has paid more than $1,000,
000 to see "The Merry Widow" and
from evidence at hand it would, appear
to be certain that the Van Ness theater
will make a record breaking run when
it stages this most unusual of comic
operas.
Large audiences across the bay indi
cate the success which the opera will
achieve In San Francisco.
