BROKE UP AT ANCHOR
A Lake
Steamer Wrbed Near Mus
kegon, Michigan.
Muskegon, Mich., Nov. 10. The
schooner Waukesha broke up while try
ing to ride out the gale at anobor near
here last night, uud only one survivor
of her orew of seven hus been rescued.
The vessel had a load of salt and ap
ples, which was taken on at Manistee
Saturday morning. At 3 o'clock yes
terday afternoon she was sigh tad run
ning with the gale under a tor u main
sail. An attempt was made r enter
Muskegon harbor, but the ' aobooner
drifted a mile south of the piers and
then anchor was dropped. She was
riding three-quarters of a mile from
shore at dark. The engineer and fire
man of the oity pumping station
watched the ligbta uuiil 0 o'olook last
night, when they disappeared. Short
ly afterwards wreokagebegan ooming
in, and today notbiug can be seen of
the lost boat above ftlie 'water where
she anchored. All' night long the
wreckage continued jtp come up on the
beach, and five bodies bave been re
covered. The nuuius of the dead can
not be learned, as nothing about the
clothing will identify tham. The sur
viving sailor was washed ashore un
oonsoious, and nothing' 'can be learned
from bim. ' " '
Tbe Waukesha was one of the old
fleet of "oanalers," and true to all
tradition, she has taken almost her en
tire orew down with her in her last
disaster. She was owned by F. H.
Head, of Chicago, and' Vsa' formerly
known as the Nabob. She was built
in Manitowoc, in 18G4 and rated at
295 tons.
This evening Frank Delaoh, tbe only
survivor of the wreck, made affidavit
to tbe effect that there were seven men
aboard the Waukesha, Cpatain -Duncan
Corbett, the mate, four seamen
and a colored cook. When they ar
rived of Muskegon he say s the captain,
mate and some of the others wore very
drunk. Tbey signaled for a tug-boat,
but showed no signs of distress signals,
and no tug, under the circumstances,
started out in the heavy sea. ' Tbe cap
tain anohored a mile south of Mus
kegon harbor. The oraft began. leaking
badly, but the captain refused to light
the torch to make known their condi
tion to the life-saving orew. The orew
donned life preservers, their yawlboat
having been washed away. They let
go tbe larger anchor cable and the
sohooner drifted toward shore some
what, with the smaller anobor drag
ging gradually, all hands taking to the
forward rigging. Tbe oraft, however,
began sinking rapidly, and a sudden
lu rob threw some of the men from the
foremast. As a part of . them olung to
the rigging tbe mainmast broke off
and fell upon tbem, striking some of
them and sweeping all into the lake.
Delaoh said he ooutrived. to get to
gether a raft from the wreckage, to
wbioh five of the men bung for a time.
Tbey dragged the captain with them,
but he was too helplessly drunk to bold
on, and tbey had Btood it nntil 6
o'clock in the morning, bnt finally
the other men gave up and sank, and
Delaoh was shortly afterward taken off
by the life-saving crew.
THE PANAMA, CANAL.
French Compiny doing Ahead With
tha Work.
Washington, Nov. 10. Most people
in this country have no doubt long ago
oome to the conclusion that work has
been suspended upon the Panama
canal, but this is not true. Notwith
standing the great scandals that were
brought to light a few years ago, the
oompuny oontinuos at work, seemingly
with a view of cutting through the
HthiDue. The French company recent
ly purohased some very heavy ma
chinery from a firm in New York for
the purpose of continuing work in
hoisting and conveying stone and earth
from the canal. The persistency with
which the company continues to work
would indicate that the projectors evi
dently believe that tit some time they
may be able to cut through to the Pa
cifio ocean.
Meanwhile, work has almost stopped
on the Nicaragua canal. The company
which has that work in charge is wait
ing for backing from the United States
government, but who can say when
that backing is likely to be forthcom
ing? Another question which may be
raised about the Panama oanal in case
it looks as if it were actually to be
completed, is whether the United States
government would see such a highway
on the American continent in the hands
of a foreign corporation. There may
be an international complication over
it when tbe Frenchman sues tbe waters
o( the Pacific in sight.
Tbe Leadvllle Strike.
Denver, Nov. 10. Owing to the
great expnse of maintaining tbe mili
tia in camp at Leadville, Governor
Mclntyre, it is reported, has opened
negotiations with a view to bringing
the strike to an end. The mine oper
ators bave not yet shown a disposition
to make any concessions whatever, and
tbey are preparing to import more j
miners (rom Missouri. There has de- ,
veloped, however, a strong opposition
to tbe policy of furnishing a guard in
order to enable the mine-owners to
operate their properties and break up j
the miners' onion, and it is believed
the governor will soon be forced, by '
publio opinion, to withdraw at least a
portion of the troops. -
A lioy'a Fatal Fall.
Victoria, B. C. Nov. 10. While at

ON THE NORTH COAST,
Britten. Bark Zlnlta Goea Ashore Near
Urai't Harbor.
Aberdeen, Wash., Nov. II. Tbe
British bark Zinita, of Greenock, an
iron vessel of 1625 tons, went ashore
un North beach this aftoruooon about
five miles north of the entrance to
Gray's harbor and olose to where the
bark Aberooru was wrecked a few
I years ago. The vessel was forty days
i out from Nagasaki, Japan, to Port
land, Or., iu ballast to load wheat, and
first sighted land on Sunday morning
about 9 o'olook, she being then about
five miles off tbe ooast, and abreast of
(juinault river. Tbe heavy ourient
that sets in along the ooast, and a heavy
southwest gale, made it impossible for
.ber to stand out to sea, and at 1 o'olook
she was forced to let go both anchors.
This failed to bold ber, and she gradu
ally drifted ashore, being in a similar
position to the Glenmorag, wrecked
north of the Columbia.
Tbe orew consisted of twenty-seven
men, under command of James Fraser,
and all are safe ashore. One sailor,
named MoNamee, received a scalp
wound, (rom being struck on the bead
by a stanchion, wbioh broke loose as
the vessel rolled in the heavy breakers,
be being the only one in the entire orew
that was injured. The vessel was first
sighted by Mr. Damon, of Oyehut,
who, noticing tbe signal of distress, dia
patohed his eldest boy to Foquiam,
twelve miles distant, for tugs, and tel
egrams were at once sent to Westport
to the tag Traveler, and to South Bend
for tugs, and for the life-saving orew,
bnt before the tngs could arrive, the
vessel was too far in chore to receive
any help, and tbe orew was all ashore,
having experienced no trouble in
launching a boat on the lee side of the
vessel and reaobing the friendly assist-
ance of the hospitable people who dwell
along tbat shore. MoNamee, tne m-
jured sailor, was brought to the hospital
at Houuiam. CaDtain Fraser and the
balanoe of the orew remaining at Oye
hut to look after tbe vesseL The cap
tain tayi tbat he is confident tbat he
oan save tbe vessel with but litlte if
any damage, and tbe oondition of the
ahip at this time would seem to war
rant bis statement, as she stood the
heavy poundings reoeievd in tbe break
ers without any peroeptible damage,
not even springing a rivet, and she now
stands at low tide boldly out, as though
in her usual element, instead of in the
golden sands of a strange coast
This makes the seventh vessel tbat
has gone ashore on the stretch of beaoh
lying north of Gray's harbor, all of
them being foreign vessels, and all
strangers to the ooast, easily getting
caught in the same treaoherous ourrent
tbat sets in along this ooast, and sucked
ashore in sbite of their efforts. This
section of the ooast is
particularly
dreaded for the reason tbat there is no
lighthouse or life-saving station within
many mues, tne nearest oeiug at u-
lappa harbor. If there bad been tele-
graphic communication with the North
beach, word could bave been sent in
time to have tugs jrrive and tow the
bark out of danger, but the length of
time necessary to get to Hoquiam was
fatal, and, when the tugs arrived, no
help could be given.
Westport, on the south side of tbe bar- j
bor, learned of the orew being safe, ,
and did not visit tbe soene, as it lay
some eight miles further on. Tbe
Zinita is but three years old, and was
on her third trip when the mishap oc
curred. Those who are best acquainted
with the ooast say that the chances
for saving the vessel are slim indeed, J
as tbey believe tbat she will soon Rink
in the sands, but there is no danger of
her going to pieces where she at present
lays, as she is way inside the line of
ordinary breakers, ' ooming in during
the extreme high tide and heavy swell
i.ne me-saving uiew, upuii arrival at
of tbe afternoon.
