Schooner Plowing Through Heavy Fog Goes Ashore on Goat Island | Steamer Navarro, which rvenl ashore yesterday on Goat island, and Captain Hoffman, master of stranded coaster. \ NAVIGATORS STEER THROUGH DARKNESS Thick Weather Causes Much Confusion to Mariners in the Harbor A ttrte fog. the thickest and longest lived that has blanketed the bay in many months, yesterday made naviga tion about the harbor a game of hide and peek. To such good purpose did the mariners in charge of floating prop erty use their ears and eyes that, al though the air seemed filled with a bed lam of bells and whistles, no serious accident occurred. There were, many close calls, and one steam schooner, lost after entering the harbor, went ashore under the cliff at the northweEt end of Yerba Buena, where watching the salvage operations afforded an aft ernoon's entertainment' for the boys at the naval training station. The most serious accident was the stranding of the steam schooner Xa varro. The Navarro was from Crescent City with a cargo of lumber, an/1 all the wary from Point Arena its progress had been through a. heavy fog." Captain C. G. Hoffman, master of the coaster, had been on the bridge all night and was congratulating himself that his long vigil was at an end when the steamer hit Goat island. The fog had cleared as the steamer entered the harbor, but shut down thicker than ever after the Navarro passed Alcatraz. DAMAGE SMALL The next stop was Goat island. The steamer was going slowly, and is thought to have escaped serious dam age. Its bow touched the steep hillside and the spit of. land on the starboard side was so close that a man falling overboard would have been more likely to break his neck on the rocks than get drowned in the water. . The Navarro went ashore at 9 o'clock in the morning and. it was expected would float at high tide -last" night. Assistance was sent the "stranded steamer and part 'of the cargo' taken off in lighters. Captain Hoffman" said that the fog was so thick that he Jost his bearings and had to guess at the amount of leeway he was making. He guessed about 20 yards short and went ashore. The navy tug Vigilant contributed two collisions to the day's excitement. The first, off Goat island, was with the ferry steamer Berkeley bound to the city on its 7:30 o'clock a. m. trip. The Berkeley was crowded with passengers and when the Vigilant,^ head on.* struck the ferry steamer's guard, thpre was something •of a panic on The Southern Pacific boat. FERRY BOAT GASHED Captain Blaker, pilot of the Berke ley, had heard the Vigilant's whistle and Captain Lockyer of the Vigilant was aware of the Berkeley's close proximity but could not locate the steamer with sufficient accuracy to miss it. The Vigilant was making lit tle headway and the damage was lim ited to the big gash that the navy tug cut in the ferry steamer's guard. The Vigilant did more serious. dam CUR CREDIT TERHS as foflows: j I Accounts opea for men and \ro- I " | opgy k vjaflijsGs TurraL xmas. | *HE- SAN iM^^o«G|iii^pfiM^DE^MßEß^l3^M<); age on its next trip from Goat Island when it ran into the steamer Van guard as the lattor was backing away from Union street wharf. The Vigi lant tore away 15 feet of the Van guard's guard on the port quarter and dented its own nose. V. T he fog;, which was low and unusu ally dense, interfered with navigation until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Up to that time the ferry steajners ran on hourly schedules and vessels due to go to sea postponed their departure. WIFE A POKER JINX, SO SPOUSE ASKS DIVORCE Ole T.

If your head Is Inclined to be oily or If you encounter much flying dust, you should shampoo weekly. Soaps make the hair dry,., hard and brittle— and cause streaks; don'fuse. them, no mat- ter how delicately perfumed or attrac- tively colored. You can "depend always upon canthrox' thoroughly cleansing your hair and Bcalp. removing all dan- druff, oil and dust. It makes an abund- ance of searching yet bland lather. Dis- solve a teaspoonful of canthrox In a cup of hot- water, pour a little on the head at a time, rub as you would with any shampoo: then rinse well. Your hair will dry quickly and evenly, so that It Is easy to do ' up, and it will b© so light, bright and fluffy that it will seem as if you have twice as much as before your shampoo. Mrs. X.: It is true your husband took you "for better or for worse." but I do not blame him 'for- urging you to do something: for your falllne hair, for a partly bald woman is about the most unattractive sight I can imagine. You can postpone the "for worse" many years if you will. The hair responds quickly to proper treatment. Use can- throx for shampoolnfr and rub into the scalp and hair 'roots twice a week a quinine tonic, which you can make at home at little cost as follows: G«t from your drueplst one ounce of quln- zoin. dissolve it .in one-half pint of al- cohol, then add one-half pint of water, and shake well. This inexpensive tonic feeds the follicles and gives the hair new . strength and life. It prevents dandruff and itching scalp, and keeps the hair clean, soft and silky. Quin- zoln will not change the color of the hair, but it will heighten the natural color and jrivft it luster. It will stop your hair falling out when you comb It. and will tend to make it grow in thick and long. \u25a0 .. . Blanche !«.: To be. sure, you are likely to get fatter during the winter months unless you take proper steps to prevent the accumulation of excess flesh. In fact, you are even now en- tirely too stout for one of your height. Get from- your drug, store four ounces of pamotisand dissolve It in 1H pints of hot water.
