IN COPLLE BAR ACCIDENT
Steamer Finally Hauled Back
to Her Wharf Last
Evening.
NEARLY SUBMERGED;
CANT FIX DAMAGE
Wilhelmina and Tug Succeed
In Saving Lumber
Carrier.
(Special to The Times.)
BANDON, Ore, Sept. 1. Tho
steamer Bandon, which yesterday
struck on the Coqtillle bar, was last
night towed back to her wharf In
Bandon. Part of her bottom was
torn away, also part of her side, her
rudder and shoe lost. Some of tho
deck load was swept away and this
afternoon, she is being unloaded as
rapidly as possible although Bhe lies
filled with water, the current run
ning over her main deck. Until she
is unloaded and pumped out, the ex-
tent of the damage cannot be ascer-
taineu.
That she was saved at all is con
sidered remarkable. While being
aided out to sea by a tug, Captain
Olson and the master of the tug hug-
ged pretty close to the shore on ac
count of the rough bar. Just as they
.
rounded the South Spit, a big break
er struck her, turning her around so'for $50 a month
that her keel stuck fast. She con
tinued to swing and the tug had to
slip her hawser to save herself. Side

hours
Finally Captain Christianson of
the Wilhelmina, succeeded in reach
ing the Bandon and immediately the
unloading of the 100 drums of dis
tillate began. The removal of the
distillate was for two purposes, it
being the most valuable salvage ob
tainable and also because Its pres
ence on board would make work
around the vessel dangerous even If
the opportunity for saving her offer
ed
After seventy-six drums of distil-,
lofi. Vind linon rpinnved hv the AV11-
helmlna, the" receding wind and rais-,
ing tide enabled the wuneimina ana
Coquille River tug to hitch on to the
Bandon and tow her back to her
wharf.
At the time tho accident occurred,
the Bandon was en route to Coos
Bay to unload the distillate which
was brought up from San Francisco
for F: S. Dow, agent of the Standard
Oil Company in Marshfield. She had
taken on part of her lumber cargo
end was o finish her cargo at the
Railroad docks In Marshfield.
The Bandon has been running In
hard luck. Only a short time ago,
she struck on a rock In the Coquille
rivnr nnd stove a bad hole in herniletcd a
bottom. A few months ago, she
went aground at Tillamook, and it
was feared that she had been badly
damaged.
The Bandon is owned by A. F. Es
tabrook and Company of San Fran
cisco. She was built at North Bend,
being launched July 2, 1907,, at
Kruse and Banks shipyards. She
was ISO feet over all with 39 foot
beam. Sho could carry about C00,
000 feet of lumber. She had no pas
senger accommodations. The Flfleld,
a sister ship to the Bandon, was
equipped with passenger accommod
ations. The Bandon bar Is still quite
rough today, the Wilhelmina being
unable to get out for Coos Bay.

referred to the health committee.

oppose paying It as he thought that

returned, It being stated that the
