THE HORNING OBEGONIAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER IT, 1901. REYER GOING TO PIECES VERY LITTJLE EQ,UIP3IENT WILIi BE x SAVED FROM STRANDED BARK. Keel, Framei and Stanchions Are Broken, and Tide Ebb and Flovr Through Her Hull. The French bark Ernest Reyer Is a hopeless wreck at the mouth of the Qul nault River, and it Is doubtful whether enough equipment will be saved from her to pay for bringing It out. J. H. Roberts, the contractor, returned Sunday from a visit to the scene of the wreck, and while there made a thorough examination of the vessel. When he left, last Saturday. the keel of the vessel had bulged up amid ships fully five feet, and had left a big hole In the bottom, through which the water surged Into the hold of the vessel. There was about 10 feet of water in the vessel at half tide, and when the breakers .would roll In against her, the hole In the bottom was large enough to admit a suffi cient amount of water to Increase mate rially the depth until the breakers re ceded. The vessel, when she first struck, rested comparatively easy, with her stern tailing off Into a little bay. Had she remained in this position. It is probable that she could have been hauled back Into the bay and floated. It would have been impossible to take her out this "Winter, but with fine weather In the Summer time, she might have again reached deep water, and in any event would have rested easy in the bay for an lndeflnlte period. Unfortunate ly, before anything could be done for her, a gale came, and drove her broadside on a hard gravel point on the north side of the river. It left her In such a position that when the tide receded, the bow and stern sagged away and the keel buckled up. Half of the 'tween deck stanchions and beams were broken off, and parts of the frames In the lower hold were broken off. The vessel had her port anchor and about 22 fathoms of chain out, but after resting on the hard gravel bar, she had no further use for the anchor, the Incom ing breakers have driven her higher up with each succeeding tide, and she is so hard aground that she now forms an al most Immovable barrier. The broken beams In her hold have given the waves a leverage, and as the craft has a seaward list of about 23 degrees they will soon batter her to pieces. Before Mr. Roberts left, the waves would move the side of the ship back and forth as though It was resting on a hinge. It will not require many days of this strain to batter down the side of the craft next to the sea, and ( when this goes everything else will go. The captain and a few of his men will remain by the ship, endeavoring to save what they can of the equipment. The flret officer and 13 of the crew will arrive In this city this morning, and will prob ably remain here until the captain arrives. The surf breaks over the Vessel at high water, and the only time when It Is safe to do anything towards wrecking her is at extreme low water. The officers of the ship have been quar tered in one of the reservation buildings, which are just across the river from where the ship is lying. The sailors have been doing the best that was possible un-. der the circumstances, with a stable for a resting place. The accompanying sketch was made by Mr. Roberts, and shows the "general location of the position of the ship as she was last Saturday. The reef In front of the river presents a very ugly appearance at low water, and It will al ways be a mystery to the natives In the vicinity how the Ernest Reyer succeeded in getting over that reef without striking. THE PILOTS' SIDE. Captain George "Wood Says Buoys Are Needed for South Channel. ASTORIA, Dec. 13. (To the Editor.) In regard to the communication from Cap tain Porter, printed a few days ago, I will say that the range lights spoken of by Captain Porter would be a good thing, but there are other matters that are much more urgent at the present time. They are to have the existing lights conform with their locations as shown on the charts and to have the new south chan nel buoyed. This south channel, which has a good depth of water, but Is very narrow, has "been In use about two years wHenever the weather was clear so that ranges on shore could be picked up. In fact, of the last 15 vessels- entering tne river 13 cam In through the south chan nel, and still thire Is not a buoy to mark It. Had there bc;n, we could easily have brought In the British ship Nelson when she was in tow of the tugs a few days ago, and several of the craft that have been beating about off the coast for weeks would have been inside long before now. When the north chann-i was buoyed last Fall, the Pilots' Association request ed Inspector Day to place a bell buoy at the entrance to the south channel, a bell buoy being asked for because It was the only kind that would not cause confusion with those In the other channel. Mr. Day replied that it was Impossible to do the work then, as he had no chain, but if he had material to spare In tho future he would grant the request Months have passed and nothing has been done yet, although there are tons of chain and numerous buoys lying on the docks. This is the first request the pilots have made of the department, and It appears strange that it Is not granted, especlally when the appropriation of a single bell buoyed by a short piece of chain, and a few hours' work by one of the tenders to place it In position would mean so much to the shipping Interests of the Co lumbia River. Another thing that Is a menace to ves sels approaching this river is the loca tion of the lightship. When that vessel broke from her moorings and went ashore several months ago, a buoy was placed, supposedly to mark her position as shown on the charts, but It was nearly five miles too far south. Even now the lightship 1b several miles out of position, and Is most confusing to masters of vessels not fa miliar with the coast To talk of range lights and more lightships is all well enough, but let the Inspector buoy thjs south channel, change the charts and buoy books to agree with the present lo cation of the lightship, and there will be less need of the other Improvements. G. W. WOOD. THE MISSING MATTEAWAN. Overloaded Collier May Have Struct on Flattery Rocks. Captain C. G. Conradl, of the steamship Centennial, is of the opinion that the miss ing steam collier Matteawan struck on Flattery reef during the absence of the lightship from her station, December 4. On December 4 according to a Seattle pa per, the Centennial passed around Cape Flattery with the Matteawan so close be hind that her smoke could be seen. The collier maintained this distance behind the Centennial until they were well south of Cape Flattery, and midway between that point and Flattery rocks. It was about G o'clock in the evening that the Centennial officers last saw the smoke of the Mat teawan. Darkness fell upon the sea. the storm continuing until almost midnight, when the weather moderated materially. From these facts Captain Conradl formed the opinion that the Matteawan was lost between 6 and 12 o'clock on the night of December 4, and in all likelihood upon TJmatllla reef. "It was a terrible storm," Captain Con radl declared last night "While It prob ably attained Its greatest severity about 11 o'clock the night of December 3, yet It was raging for many hours after that After we had rounded Cape Flattery we had come to a dead slow down. Fortunate ly, my vessel was not heavily laden with coal. We had a cargo of oats, and not a great one at that The Centennial rode out the sales, and when we got to San Fran cisco I reported that the Matteawan was xlsht behind u at the Cape and would probably be In In a few hours. But she Is still out. I feel that there Is hardly a hope of ever seeing: her afloat again. I know nothing: as to how she was loaded, but scarcely any vessel with a full cargo of coal could have lived through that storm." THE FRENCH SAILORS. Mr. Sullivan, of Portland, Explains the Situation to Governor Gcer. SALEM, Or., Dec 16. Governor Geer to day received the following communication regarding the recent sailor troubles in Portland: Portland, Or., Dec. 14, 1001. Hon. T. T. Geer, Salm, Or. Sir: Through the morning paper I learned that the Secretary of State, the Hon. Ellhu Hoot, has telegraphed you, asking you to nee that tho treaty stipulations be tween the United States and France, of Au gust 3, 1853, found In the United States Stat utes at Large. Forty-third Congress, 1873-1875. were enforced, and acting under the request of the Secretary of State, you have called the attention of the various officers charged with the execution of our laws to article S of the treaty between our Government and the French Government, above referred to. In order that you may understand the difference which has existed between the shippers of this port and the French Consul, It may be well for me to explain conditions to you here. The French Consular Agent, C. Henri Labbe, has claimed and exercised the right of a Judi cial officer, nnd has, under his signature, alone, authorized the Chief of Police to take Bailors and Imprison them indefinitely for what arc termed "breaches of discipline," without glv- MAP SHOWING MOUTH OF THE QU'I SITION OF FRENCH BAR lng the sailors so arrested an opportunity of being heard, although the act of June 11, 1604, volume 13, of United States Statutes at Large; page 121, points specifically the procedure to be followed by the Consul or Vice-Consul when undertaking to put in execution any of the treaty stipulation.. This act of Congress has been Ignored by the Consular Agent here, and has not been respected by htm. As a result, men Imprisoned with warrant or authority of law have complained to the court and have In stituted habeas corpus proceedings to regain their liberty, and in some cases actions of damage for the wrong done them. This Is the extent, as the Secretary of State should be in formed, of tho annoyance to which the French masters of French ships have complained to the Department of State. It was only yester day that the State Circuit Court held that a French sailor. "Victor Merrlen, was entitled to his liberty, because he was not properly com mitted to prison, as authorized by said act of June 11, 1801. This man Merrlen had been de prived of his liberty Blnce the 18th day of No vember. French captains here find it difficult to understand that a sailor has any rights at all. They have, somehow or another, come to believe that the llfo and liberty of a sailor on board of his vewel are In their hands and In the hands of the Consul. Such principles are repugnant to our every Idea of good govern ment This constitutes the sum total of all the wrongs committed against the French ships here. I thought It but Just to those who are en gaged In the shipping buelnerc to have this placed right before the Secretary of State of the United States; hence I have addressed you this letter. I remain, sir, your obedient serv ant, L. M. SULLIVAN. 31 AY GO TO SAN FRANCISCO. Contrary Winds Will Prevent the Win. Mitchell Sailing to Astoria. ASTORIA, Dec. 16. The British ship William Mitchell did not appear today, nor has she been seen since spoken on last Friday off Tillamook Bay by the steam schooner Sequoia. The steamer Columbia, which arrived In from San Francisco this morning, reports having met with north east and east moderately strong gales all tho way up the Coast, but that the sea was smooth. This being the case, it would have been impossible for the Mitchell to beat back to the mouth of the river in her foul condition. Local shipping men are of the belief that Captain M. D. Sta ples, the bar pilot who Is aboard of her, has headed her for San Francisco and will be reported there In a'few days. Tho British ship Latimer, which recent ly had her bowsprit broken off In a col lision, has been shifted from the stream to a wharf. The Astoria Iron Works has been awarded the contract to make the repairs, which will be permanent Instead of temporary In character, as at first con templated. The stump of the bowsprit remaining on board will be removed, and the two pieces Joined together with new plates In place of those which were brok en. It will take about two weeks to com plete the work. It has been found that the French bark Henrietta, loaded with redwood for Eu rope, Is four feet down by the stern and she will take on about 50 tons of ballast forward to trim her before going to sea. LOSS OF THE NYMPHE. Crew "Were Unable to Land, "hut "Were Picked Up at Sea by Steamer. Oriental advices to hand by the Port land & Asiatic liner Knight Companion bring further particulars of tho loss of the German ship Nymphe, which was un der charter for wheat loading at Portland. The vessel carried a cargo of 84,000 cases of coal oil, consigned to the Standard Oil Company, at Yokohama. She ran ashore about two miles to the north of Rock Island, off the Japan coast and Is a total wreck. The captain and crew were brought to Yokohama by the N. Y. K. steamer Salkio Iaru. There was a heavy sea run ning when the Nymphe struck, and three boats were got out with considerable diffi culty. It was out of tho question to make a landing at that time, consequently the boats pulled out to sea and the ship wrecked crew were fortunately enabled to attract the attention of Captain Young, of the Saiklo Maru, which, however, had passed them before her signals were no ticed. Her foremast went by the board Immediately after she struck, and a big hole was made In her bottom. The Nymphe was a fine steel vessel, built m Bremen in 1S92 and owned by Gildcrmeister & Rlefs, of that port Standard OH Ship Ashore. ORANGE CITY, N. J., Dec. 16. The Sln dla, the Standard Oil Company's J200.000 four-master, which went ashore yester day. Is resting easy today with 14 feet of water in her hold.
