JameS Eolph waß in her : day one of the bestknown vessels on.tho Pacific■ Qoaat.' However, on August 2, when' outward bound from San Francisco, she :ran. agrdund on Point San Pedro, and-has. terminated her seagoing career.. Apart; from, the recollections recalled., by, the ::montion , of : .her. name, it is not unlikely-that her.end will live in tho. memories of many; for a'- long, time,, for .with it. is assooiated one of' the most remarkable;' but' not. altogether unusual, occurrences • yet known' on, tho Paciflo Coast. It seems that the James Eolph went ashore in a favourable position for salvage, but with tides and owing to delay was carried further inshore. This did not have; any- effect, on the salvors,'-'who,' notwithstanding the extra, work : and difficulties, entailed, were confident of getting her off tho coast again., They-w'ero'not long in beings awakened to -the' full extent of the task, however.for an: examine tion preparatory to work commencing was being made when it was, discovered that the schooner, had settled down-right over and across the "bones"; of another vessel,, i.e;, the old Drumbarton, the ribs of which - ■ were: tightly around her,». and ' which'. had gone ashorei6ix years a dense .fog. . This' .discovery, .altered opinions considerably, and has resulted .in tho. abandonment of salvage work, ..the owners-being contented , to.
