The Life Saving crew made a trip to the sunken hull of the Czarina Saturday and found nothing there, despite the rumors that a package of some kind was lashed to the mast of tho wreck. A couple of blocks and frayed pieces of rope were all that they found. One of the crew was on tho mast and could find no evidence of there ever being any thing more than the block and tackle. Whether there was ever a package lashed' to the mast will probably be a much mooted question now. Many have claimed that they were positive that there was a package on the mast soon after the wreck. Whether there was any and that it was Anally torn off by the waves and wind is something that will never be positive ly known, probably. However, Andrew Wickman of tho Southern Oregon Company at Em pire believes that tho block and tackle with the frayed pieces of rope from it was the object that many thought was a package. Ho says that some days ago he secured a good view of the object through some powerful field glasses he had and at that tlmo was convinced that it was merely a piece of the ship's rlgglnjf. No more bodies have been washed ashore and there Is no news of the wreck. As yet, no word has been received concerning further action in tho cases of Messrs. Christianson and Taylor who wero suspended al though they are hopeful of securing a hearing and being reinstated. CRITICISE COOS LIFE CREW. LIMIT KH .
