Wirclras Apparatus Broken Down, After Housings Carried Away, , and rvo Lifeboat Lost. C.nKHA.vr. Or.. Not. 17 (Special.) A. T. Muelthatif. englreer on the oil tank steamer Washtenaw, has written a vivid description of the recent storm encountered by that vessel Just after leaving; the Columbia River on her laet trip down. That the steamer escaped bring; a total wrt-k was solely due to li'r stanchne, and to hard work on the part of the crew for more than 24 hours, "rom bis description. It seems almost a miracle thst the ship erraped destruction. The following; portion of Kngineer Miirlthaufa letter will give an lde of the eeverlty of the storm at sea which the vessel waa lucky enough to weather after a hard battle, lasting more than one whole day: "The storm tore our wireless appara tus down and carried away the after housings on the shin and took two of the lifeboats from their lashings. The ship was rolling and pitching, and big ii would go clear over the decks. The storm lasted all day and night, and I thought It was all off with us for awhile. The wind was blowing 79 miles an hour oft North Head, with the waves rolling- mountain high. Half of the crew waa seasick, and dishes, tables, rooking; utensils, furniture and every thing else loose wa rolling all over the boat. TVe had half of a dinner on TVednesdav ami no supper or break fast. All I bad t2 eat was a few ap ples. The engineers on watch below had to stand by the throttle all the time, and every time the stern of the boat went up and the bow down the propeller would go out of the water and the engines would race in If they were going- out of the ship. F.very time the stern would come up out of the water the engineer would have to shut off steam and then open up again when the bow went up. TVe continued this way for 2! hours and all we made was 41 miles. We were only three hours behind the steamer Rose City, which was lost, but we were In as much or more danger, as we had no ballast. TVe started the pumps, however, and put a cargo of water In for ballast. It took four hours to load her down, and I carried all the pres sure the pumps would bear. I had 150 pounds' pressure In the gauges anl they are supposed to carry no more than 95. Our discharge pipes are ten Inches and we had two pumps going all the time. Wa are now at- the dry dork making; repairs, which will take us about two weeks." Steamer llcrm Goes to Cora ox. It was yreenlay learned that the steamer Herm. which was reported sail ing from Kureka November 8 for Port land, will proceed to Omox to load coal for Mexico, under charter to the Robert Dollar Company. The vewel Is to be de livered at Oomox and secured a rate of 3a, I I . 1 VERDICT OF JURY PUZZLE TO JUDGE Plaintiff and Defendant Both Win Suit According to Return. RECALLED JURY EXPLAINS J. E.
