rejoiced with an exceeding great joy "
to know that the object , of their deep
solicitude had been rescued from u pool .
tion of great peril and that all on board
were wellThe youthful operator at the telephone
office shouted the glad tidings over the
wires to every.
subscriber , and the joyful
intelligence vibrated like n blessing
through scores of households .
At Broughton Street Hall a largo audi-
ence
-
were ostomblcd to witness a performance . In the midst of the programme Mr. Wallace , the chairman , an ¬
nounced that the Dakota was safe . The
announcement seamed.to thrill the audi
slice and their feelings found vent in
hearty rounds of cheers .
The theory advanced by UII yesterday
in referring to the causes of the detention
of the Dakota has been fully borne out in
the event . The Dakota , sailing from
Son Francisco on the 10th , broke down
on the 11th or 12th inst . The inngnifi-
cout seamanship of Capt . Morse was then
called into action . Ho spread his canvan and stood away for Sun Francisco
keeping well off shore : This fact will ac-
count for the Dakota not having been
sighted by the Oregon or Empire on their
way up the coast ono or two
days afterwards . When itVasdeemed prudent to head for the shore
again Capt . Morse laid hid ship in the
track of the Oreohand British Columbia '
steamships and mot the steamship Victons which loft San Francisco on the 14th
for Victoria . That vessel took the Da-
kota in tow and both ships reached Ban
Francisco on Sunday . The Dakota's mails
and passengers were doubtless transferred' ' '
to "the Victorivwhiclrwill'
bc.duo here to
day .
" Alls well that ends well. " And after
the suspense and sleepless nights and
gloomy forebodings we fancy that Vic ¬
toria laid down last night with a thankful
heart to pleasant'dreams ..BuouaHTQX STREET HALL1'lioentol '¬

ness , f the ' JTKenlx '.' as for ice it shows'
the magnitude of its operations; but wocertainly hold him responsible for the un-truths
¬
and garbled statements he hasmade . Your correspondent says thePhenix had 823,070 unsettled fire losseson Dec . 31st , 1879 This( i.. a falsehood ;not One single dollar did the Company ewe j
which was not paid , (see Blue Book 1870 . )The 823,07(5( , 'ho refers ' to were JlarintIUlybodyhut!!
dif1ul'ent inthieiriiatur ' from ' fire losses .I As regards his statement ' that no Brit
ish Company had any, , outstanding claims ,the Blue Book says the Royal alone had819,833.40 , of which 3020 wore resisted
.
and in suit , and $2G00 not resistedseeBlue Book ) . So much for the veracity ofthe English extortioners .
Your coi'i-espondcntseonis in the habitof makings-sweeping) f assertions ' :Svithout,
foundation ' in), 'fact ; did the "drio- citedabove shows what his assertions areworth . Ho says every American Insurance Company that has over done busi ¬
ness here has failed : Docs . ho mean thatthoV Union '! of ,Sali Francisco'is shakey,7 '
Wo always thought that a good company . .
"It is a dirty bird that fouls his ownnest . " |
There was but one smull American fireoffice doing business here . Its name wasthe People's Comp.iriyaiid it withdrew of
'monoybyThe first ' 'first-dam! American fire com-pany
-
that ever opened an oflico here isthe Phenix of Brooklyn , and it has beenin business in the United States since1853 ; has progressed magnitude of buseveryho ;
I
it stood ///A/ on the list , including Englishcompanies , in amount , of premiums I'e-ceived in LIce United States . .
The reason your correspondent is so en -
raged is that the English companies arelosing their business and none more sothan himself . The public see that ' it ishigh time to break the iron ring that thecombination had forced hitherto 'round their ,necks and give their business : where it !finds justice done to them ! After trying byall sorts of misrepresentation at the1 headoflices/both in England and ' in Now York ,to compel II . F . HEISTKR'MAM & Co . tojoin their coinbimimitionand sig allyfailing
,
therein , they suddenly discover (thefossils !) that there is plentiful supply ofwater and , oh ! generosity , reduce therates one quarter, : , per cent ! ! I
But it is no use 'j;' the public see through
the dodge and continue; tojleave! the Eng ¬
