THE "BROTHER JONATHAN " Found at Last ' Cr.sceut City (Chi.) liecord. ! 0l Sunday, the 3otb Jay of July, ISfio.tbe fuM 'j0'"' . lir,,lhvT "". w I w recked off Point St. G.orge.e short distance! from iv.i Ni.. ui i i rm crescent Lity. She was ou her way to Oregon, but in nmndino tlm P..in th ! being so strong th;it hut little headway could j ue ruuue, it wan concluded to mu back to this hrtfJw - ir f,.ul...w i . . . i i line '.oimric to thia nort the vmu l Mrnek sunken rock which stove in her bows, ami in a short snace of iim On. sank As soon as i : she struck ull confusion on board. It ; was wen ut om-e that th vesel .would b a total wreck, as her foremast hud gone through bcr bottom, the lor.-yard lying acroHS her i deck. Oue shin's limit (r another was launched, each ia turn lieinu eillu r i.riilieci against the vessel's side or swamped in the heavy sea. Finally tin? captain's boat was seized by some of the crew.nud nutwitbatand-1 U)L' tOL ttnler of llleir fnnil1iMll.l..r til tl,A iin. uary, was successfully launched and shoved ' - v ou trom the vessel. It was the last boat on the ship.aud tiK se in her kfcew that they were I taking tln ir lust look upon their friends aud jcoiupiuious. But hnuiau life is deal, I however lowly it may be, and we can naruiy uiauie tuetn Irom securing it to themselves in preference to their iii)) riors. The bott coutained 10 jwrsons, and those in the water w ho were shrieking aud imploring for help were shoved a say, and we are told that one, who had his bands on the gunwale of Ibu boat was struck aud made, to let go, sinking beneath the waves never to rise again. This Uiat load of persons, con sisting of the third mate, several of the crew, one China wouiati, a white woman and her little boy, leached Crescent City in safety, between 4 and 5 o'clock in the evcning.about two hours after the vessel struck. While on their way down, Mate Patterson, wh was in charge, informed us that every time the little boat was lifted upon a huge wave be would tuke n look at the vessel, but when about h.ilf a mile away she went down and was lost to view entirely. Upon arrival of the boat at this place, which was the first intelligence of the wreck, a boat was manned and started for the scene, but no trace of the vessel nor any human being could be fouud; all bad perished in the angry waters. biuce tnat time not a summer has passed but there has been parties searching for the wreck, as the vessel was kuown te have bad a huge amount of treasure on board, besides a valuable cargo of merchandise. Several tunes persons with but little experience in such matters thought they bad fouud the wreck, aud divers were procured to go down for a confirmation of their belief, but nothing of the wreck has been fouud until recently. Cuptain Peter Gee, of Sau Francisco, who is well acquainted with the coast, after learning all the particulars of the wreck, possible, concluded tnut lis could nud it. lie has therefore been up for several summers mak ing as thorough a search us it was possible to do, but until recently has bteu unsuccessful. Last summer he was almost certain he had located the exact spot, but bad weather pre vented a more thorough search. About three wi els ago he came up and be now informs us thatiie has succeeded in finding the ves sel. She lies in 'i'tyt fathoms of water.south ubout two miles from North west Seal Kock, where the new lighthouse is being built, and is some two miles northwest from Jonathan Hock, uauied so from the fact tbvt it has been supposed by most persons that this was the pities where the vessel went down. Where the Brother Jouathan was found is a rock not laid down on the chart, which has been known to boatmen about here for a loug time, aud w hich has been uamed by them "Saddle Kock." At low tide there is some three or four feet of water ou this rock and at high tide about ten. About 300 feet north west of this is where the wreck was fouud. She had evideutly struck this bidden rock, aud as she tilled with water slid off, as she uatuially would, aud floated a short distance with tlie'ctirreut before going to the bottom. And now, after so many years of search for this wreck, it is doubtful if anything can be recovered, or any intelligence gaiued as to its condition or what it coutains. She lies in about '200 feet of water, und we are informed that 18 or 'lo fathoms is as deep as any divers on this coast care to go down. However, Captain Gee says that there are other diving apparatus iu England, and that it is possible that one may be procured that the depth of vln-ru the Brother Jonathan lavs may be reached. If this can b done, what a sight will be wituesed by those who succeed in reaching and exploring the recesses of this vessel that has so loug beeu hidden from the sight of man. There were, we believe, over 3U0 passengers on board this ill-fated vessel at the time of her going down. Forty-three bodies wre recovered iu this vicinity, and a few, probably not more than a dozen, found ou the coast, outside the boundary liua of Del Norte country. It was very rough and a greater portion of the passengers were sick and in their staterooms. There has been no evideuce that the vessel has ever broken up, in fact, everything goes to show that sho has never went to pieces, as no vestige of her bull has ever come on the beach. It is alto gether probable that many persons were drowned iu their rooms and that their bones are still there mingling with each others in the motionless waters of the mignty deep. On board of this ill-fated vessel were lost the following parties, well known in Eugene and vicinity: Mr. Samuel Luckey, wile and daughter. Miss Ollie, who were returuitig . i-.i. i.v.... -ton f, i,.i Here trom a visu 10 me jusi, uiij Luckey an.l two sons, aud her sister, who were coming here to reside.
