[Concluded] "She was a fine vessel, the Khedive; Iron built, three masted, with a state-saloon on the upper deck, but with a tendency to roll rather heavily. Weil, we reached New York v.ith its magnificent harbor, and dis charged our cargo. Whilst this was beiug done, one of the sailors engaged in the duty lost his footing, mid but for the timely aid of a rope swinging close by would have fallen into the hold. "'That would have been an awkward fall.' 1 remarked to Littlemore, who was standing by. 'He would have gone down to the bottom of the ship.' "'Oh,' replied net 'that is not the bottom! we have tanks running fore and aft the whole length of the vessel, which we fi 1 by pumping in water whenever we are lightly laden and require more ballast to steady the ■hip. You must come down with me one day and have a look at them; they are worth looking at.' "Of course I got leave from our captain to go cs!iere while in liarbor; took a run up tn Niagara, and saw that wondrous speci men ot Nature's handicraft ; wont up the Hudson Rivel ; aud hurried back to rejoin my ship, \\hie:i was intended to sail on Tuesday for Old England; aud I need haniiy say that I was anxious to get b:i k to my bride, Irom wh^ui circumstances lud so early severed me. "When 1 g«t on board I found that we should start ou the following afternoon, ail the carg.i beinK nearly on board. There not bciiij; time to revisit my friends In New Tork, 1 uraused myself by watching the last portions of the cargo shipped and lowered int. > tue hold. "The next day about 11 o'clock in the | morning, hearing my friend Mr. Littlemore say that water whs to be pumped into the tanks »t 4 o'clock in the afternoon, as we were vrry lightly laden, and seeing the round manhole leading down into them open 1 thought that 1 would take advantage of the opportunity and examine them. I looked down. Ail was dark as midnight, anil having on my uniform coat I took it off and laid it near. I lit a candle in one of the large ship's lanterns hanging hard by and viii about to descend when 1 was suddenly stopped by a voice calling out: " 'Halloa, mate, tlou't take my lantern.' "It was from the carpenter's mate, who was working close at hand. He scarcely recognized meat nrst without my uniform ; «cd after a little chat with him 1 said that;l was going to look at the tanks and would bring back bis lantern. I descended by the manhole and found myself in a place about four feet high — one long division running down the Muter all the length of the ship, crossed tit Intervals by transverse partitions leading into one another by means of a manhole just sufficiently large to pass through, while here and there similar open ings enabled one to pass from one side to the other through the central lougitu.::;ia. partition. Here were massive fide-beams and iron cross-girders dividing this, the ac tual bottom of the vessel, practically into partitions twenty-eight feet below the water line. It was novel, and to me as a landsman something stupendous, this wondrous work of mau's ingenuity. "J: interested ma as well as astonished me, ami on 1 went on the por! side of the ship, now stooping low t' avoid the cross giidrrs, passing litre and agiiu through a sniuli opening, weird shadows cast around me by the flickering light of my lamp, until 1 finally reached the iorepart of the vessel. Crossing then through an opening on my right, I retraced my way in a similar man ner on the starboard side. On 1 went until it appeared that I was taking a much longer time to get back than I had to come ilia length of the ship. I could rind no opening above me. However, there must bs the opening somewhere, and of course I should find it But no; I became convinced I had gone round the ship twice. Becoming ner vous at this idea, I stumbled and fell, dropped my iantern and the light went out. I'uliii.g myself together 1 began to reflect on my position. "As I had kept steadily to the left, I must have missed the compartment: so I com menced working diagonally through the openings in the central partition, and came out once more to the end of the ship. Working back in a similar manner, now striking my hs:id violently against girders above, now my knees against those below, groping my way through the manholes, 1 arrived again at the other end of. the vessel. "Xo ray of light— no opening. Appalling, horrible as the conviction was, the conclu sion was irresistible. The opening by which 1 had descended had been covered 1 The hatch had been closed! Nevertheless, a hatch there was, and 1 must find it; so, commencing again feeling my way with one band before me and with the other feeling the roof above me it was not long before 1 came to a circular rim. Yes; this was un mistakably an opening, but closed. I en deavored to push upward the central por tion, but in vain. In doing this I felt some solt substance, and the odor left no room for doubt. The odor of red lead wan un mibtkaable. The cover had been placed on, closed with led lead, and I was hermetically sealed down, imprisoned twenty-eight feet t*neath the water level, in the tanks of the Khedive. '•The perspiration which in my exertions had been pouring from me now turned to a cola sweat, soaking through every pore. Bruised, bleeding and half exhausted 1 commenced calling for help at the top of my voice. But all in vain. My tongue became dry and throat parched. What was my voice at that depth in a vessel bf 3500 tons, whilst cargo, cattle, passengers were being brought on boaid, and all the varying prep arations for stemming out of dock that even ing were going on. •'I tried to lind my lantern, hoping to be able to make use of it to strike the cover to my prison, and I found a piece of loose iron. Hope revived I I should ba able to get heaid now. At it I went, bang, bang, bang! bursly 1 never struck so hard before or siuce as in those blows for liberty aud life! But useless all my efforts, vain all my cries and blows. 1 gave myself up as lost. "1 should perish slowly here of hunger and thirst whilst friends were within a few feet of me. Suddenly I fancied 1 heard (■omuls, and carefully noting the position of the hatch, 1 groped my way toward the center of the vessel. Here I distinctly heard voices, succeeded at Intervals by a heavy fall and crash. I was near the coal bunkers, and -gain endeavored to make my self heard, with no better result than be fore, So 1 went back to the point of my entrance into what now seemed my living tomb, and sank exhausted below it. Then I remembered Liitlemore having said they would pump in water at i o'clock that after noon. I should not starve to death, then; I should drown— like a rat in a hole. Tears fell from me, and 1 became almost maddened at the thought "1 had never, I think, felt fear before. I had seen service in the field in India; had looked upon death in various forms. I had been where bullets laid my comrades dead around me, and felt no tremor. Death had never appeared to me so dreadful as some believe it But to die like thisl It was too fearful I 1 began ni.w, in my utter despair to try and think bow long 1 hid to live. I must have been there some hours. I re flected that as the water was pumped in the air would become compressed, and 1 should be suffocated before the water got high enough. " Suffocation or drowning! which was the easiest death of the two, I wondered. I felt myself losing my reason; midst all my horror the thought of my young, lovine wife haunted me, that she should be left so ill provided for to struggle on through the world atone. Ob, sue would never even know what had become of me! might think that I was still alive, and hud abandoned her! I jaw her soft, tender glance*, her gentle, loving, trusting look. Oh, no; she would never think in.it of me! "Thus reflecting, in In half-maddened state, I felt something creeping over me »nd brushed from my hair the cockroaches which were always swarming about me. Boused by a sense of loathing from my tem porary stupor of despair and exhaustion, I commenced- striking the iron roof and Shrieking for help again. What was that dull sound I heard? A gurgling noise, a dull, dull thud, followed by a rush of water? Again, acain. and faster still. Oh, merciful heaven! all nope is over! Lost, lost, lost! They are filling the tanks I I know no more. 1 become unconscious.' • * - .-•■-•- • • . "A sensation of fresh find cooling air. A team of gentle hands about me. : A return ing idea of vuices, existence, life, and light. I np?nrd my py<\ c , to find myself on the deck of the vessel, surrounded by kind and anxious fires. "Saved! Yes. I had Veen rescued from Inevitable death by an accident. One of the seamen injuring his lei in getting in a large chest, the do-tor was inquired for, and as I was known to have ionic on board, every body was asking if I had been seen, as I was not in the cabin, By meat pood luck, the carpenter's mate heard me Inquired for, and said he had not seen me since eleven in the morning, when I went down to look at the tanks. ■"■ ■ <.■: •':■'. " ; " J \ ''-'ir- '\ : "'Then,' said Littlemore, 'that where he Is now, and we have just commenced pumping In.' ' .-' "Of course the order was given imme diately to pump out the water, the tup hatch was forced off and I was brought up Iti a state of insensibility. Not a minute too soon. It was 4 o'clock and I had been five hours in the tanks, and it was some days before I recovered the effects of the shock." This concluded his story. The hour for closing having arrived, the party separated, and I returned to my hotel; but between sleeping and waking I still saw the pretty, anxious frighitned face, the large blue eyes filled with tears, and then I understood that the lovely little blonde was the Wife of the gentleman with the blue serge suit, and that her distress on tUe day I fiist saw her was caused through excessive jay ou hear ing from her husband of his miraculous escape. So ends tl.e "Doctor's story." COAST ITEMS. Brief Notes From ru-.-ittc Slates and Territories. Spokane is to have a brewery with a capi tal of Slou.ooo.

The total crop this year amounted to 1-175 car-loads, which, consider ing the shortage in the crop all over South ern California, is a larger shipment that! ever before. The total value of the River side orange crop for the season of 1890-91 is put at 51.230,000.

The Kliersonese is an Iron ship of 1872 tons, and was built at Belfast in 1835. She is 246 feet long, 33:9 beam and 23 feet deep. She was laden with a general cargo, con signed to Glrvin, Baldwin & Co. of this city, end was commanded by Captain Hemmed. Bo:li ship and cargo aro fullj insured. FIGHTING 'sailors': There was a lively fight on Mission-street Wharf . yesterday afternoon" between a couple of sailers named Ansou and Thomas. Th's fight was a hot one while it lasted. Thomas, who was much the smaller man, proved to be the best man with his fists and punished his opponent badly. The fight was at last stopped by the Wharfinger and the men ordered off the dock. '..,-.'■ Thomas wanted to renew the battle- on East stroet, but An son declined, as his nose whs broken and both eyes blacked. Another car for the Port Towusend Belt Railroad was hauled to Broadway Wharf yesterday for shipment o:i the Umattlla.

About the busiest spot along the entire fiont yesterday afternoon was the Mer chant's Dry-dock. The bark Don Carlos, that recently went ashore on South Beach while trying to enter the harbor in a thick fog, was placed on the dry-dock lor. repairs. Over a hundred men were at work stripping the copper otf her bottom and as soon as this is done the vessel will be thoroughly calked all over and the necessary repairs made to her hull. NO Tia.ni IX it. The story published in one of the even ing papers that the Occidental aud Oriental Steamship Company had chartered the White Star liners Britannic aud Germanic, and would place the ships on tue route Iron) this city to China, is denied. It is not liKely that tiie White Star Com pany would let two of their best and fastest ships leave the line at a time when every one of the big Atlantic flyers is crowded with freight and oasseti&ers every trip. It is stated that in the near future im mense steel works will be established on Puget Sound, where the work of building the new whale-backed barge will be carried on. At the next meeting of the Harbor Com missioners a plan willbodiscusseu to dredge out Mission Creek,' build suitable wharves aud then transfer all the hay and lumber traffic to that section of the city trout. A FAST PASSAGE. The tramp steamer Mineola, which ar rived in New York recently, made the pas sage across the Atlantic in ten au 1 a half days, by far the fastest trip ever made by a vessel of her class.

Why Glasgow Coal Has Such a Bad Bepnta tion as a Bisk— The Columbia- Hiver Bar to Be Improved. The holiday season is in full swing among tbe underwriters, and business is on all hands reported dull, and little of note occur ring. The marine men have felt somewhat anxious about a rather long string of over due ships, and their chances of safq arrival were the principal subject of discussion ou 'Change yesterday. First amone these is the City of Florence, which is considerably-overdue from Antwerp. She was reinsured in London on Wednesday at 10 per cent, but the local men would not look at the business yesterday utader a rate of 20 per cent. The Sardomene, IG4 days out from Cal cutta, is another delinquent. Some busi ness was done in this ca-,e yesterday, a line of £3500 being placed at 10 per cent. Ten per cent is also being stood out for on the cargo of Glasgow coal carried by the Breidablick, 152 'lays from Glasgow. The passage is not long enough to iv itself cause anxiety, but Glasgow coal has a bad reputation among insurance men ou ac count of its lull mimablc qualities. The uneasiness was not lessened by the news received yesterday that the cargo of the Dutch vessel Khersontse (Glasgow coal) was ou fiie. She bad, according to previously received information, put into Montevideo with her cargo snlited. Still another overdue ship about which a good deal of anxiety in being felt is the Arabia, 155 days out from Baltimore. The work of improving the Columbia River bar is being actively pushed forward under the direction of Major Hai.dbury. In addition to the work of dcepeni.'ig the water ou the bar, which is being carried out by the Government, matters are in train for improving the condition of the river by prjvato enterprise. Meetings of prominent citizens of Portland have been held aud committees to push the matter ap pointed. George P. Low's paper on electricity in its relation to insurance read at the meet ing of the Underwriters' Association on Tuesday nifiht was a great success and 13 to be followed by a third paper ou "Incan descent Lights" at the August meeting. No definite action vtrn taken in the matter of adjusted charges la^t Tuesday, aud a defiuite settlement is not looked for for some little time. GRATEFUL FIREMEN.
