4 MARINE NEWS 4
DERELICT BESSIE K
MENACETO MARINERS
Is Still Floating About and Is Feared
by tbo Const Ves
sels. Tho hulk of tho derelict Bessie K.
Is still floating about, a menace to
tho mariners. Tho Portland Tele
gram has tho following report of the
wrecked boat.
Four days ago a derelict was
sighted off the Heceta Head light
Btatlon drifting to the southward.
The wreck was about six miles off
tho coast and as near as could be
made out It was tho remnants of a
vessel, supposed tho gasoline schoon
er Bessie K. which has been reported
lost for six weeks. What was taken
for the same vessel was sighted by
the officers of the steamer Alliance
north of Coos Bay.
Captain P. J. Werllch, lighthouse
Inspector of tho Thirteenth district,
received a message from Olaf Han
son, keeper of the Heceta 'station,
on the Lane county coast this morn
ing, that he first saw the derelict
on April 14, and again two days
later. As she was some distance
faway tho keeper was unable to give
a very definite dlscrlptlon of the
vessel. Captain Werllch thinks there
Is no doubt that It Is the same wreck
reported by tho Alliance. He will
report the matter to the hydro
graphic office and some arrangement
may soon be made to get the derelict
out of tho path of shipping up and
down the coast.
About bIx weeks ago the schooner
Bessie K sailed from Coqulllo river
to San Francisco with lumber. Noth
ing of a definite nature has been
heard of her since. She had a crew
of four or five sailors and the sup
position la that all have been
drowned. The vessel sighted by the
Alliance had turned turtle. The
steamer passed within 300 feet of
her.
Unless the wreck is picked up
mariners fear some of the coasters
will collide with It and cause serious
consequences. Mostly submerged,
tho craft cannot bo seen until a
steamer gets dangerously close to
Ip. After night or during thick
weather tho old hulk will porve a
constant menace to navigation.

MUCH IS LOST
ON THE CORONA
Wrecked Passenger Boat Hns Not
Been Raised and Contents
Being Itulncd.
The underwriters who have charge
of the steamer Corona, which went
on the rocks In Humboldt bay some
weeks ago, have not yet sold her or
attempted to raise the wreck. They
advertised for bids, but as none of
them went over $ 800 they would not
sell. It is understood the under
writers want at least $12,000 for tho
vessel.
A sea captain who has seen the
wreck states that the vessel will not
bo worth $100 unless she Is raised at
once. The underwriters have not
even allowed parties to remove their
trunks and other baggage from tho
ship, and the high water has ruined
a great deal of this part of the cargo
that might have been saved had the
owners been allowed fo take It off.
It Is estimated that at least $10,000
worth of freight and baggage has
been ruined by the waves since the
accident. At low water the greater
of tho vessel Is out, but at high water
only the smokestacks and spars show
through the waves.

GIRL MAY DIE
FROM HICCOUGHS
Pecular Case Comos Up tit AValla
Walla to Baffel tho
Physicians..
Walla Walla, Wash., April 23.
One of the most peculiar cases known
to the physicians of tlhs city for sev
eral years is that of little 12 year old
Irene Sherrod, of the Stubblefleld
Home, who is suffering from an at
tack of hiccoughs, which started
last Friday evening about four
o'clock and has defied the efforts of
several prominent physicians of this
city to stop It for more than a short
time since then. The little girl is
a student of the Berney school, is
very popular among all of the teach
ers and students of the institution,
and Is noted for her plesant dispo
sition. In some manner her feelings were
Injured after school Friday evening,
and after a short crying spell, which
lasted until she reached home, she
started to hiccough, which has con
tinued, almost unceasingly, up to the
present time. All of the remedies,
both ancient and modern, that are
known to the physicians, have been
used, with tho exception of an elect-
lc battery.
It Is stated at the Stubblefleld
Home that the little girl came home
crying and that she then started to
hiccough, though whether the hic
coughs were caused from the crying
was not known. This was also veri
fied by Dr. M. M. Stiles, who has
charge of the case, and who also
stated that he had never heard of a
like case before. In speaking of the
case he said: "Although I have
known hiccoughs to prove fatal be
fore, I never heard of a case of which
there was no apparent cause, being
so bad as this one is. We aro doing
nil possible for the girl."
Late this afternoon it was said
that tlie hiccoughs had been stopped,
but it was not known whether the
relief was permanent.
.MAKE A BIG STRIKE
Owners of an Idaho Mine Aro Lucky
in Their Work.
Boise, Idaho, April 23. A great
strike has been made in the Nellie
mine at Horseshoe Bend. News of
tho discovery has been brought in by
Manager M. E. Hopkins, who has
just returned from a visit to the
property.
Ho states tho tunnel hns at Inst
cui me main leiigo and makes a
wonderful showing. There Is four
feet of ore, and they do not know
whether they havo cut through tho
vein. A number of assays were
taken, covering all characters of ore
ln tho tunnel. Tho lowest return
was $9 a ton and the highest $192.
Tho oro Is a clean sulphide, there
being no lend or other base metal
but iron. The mapagement has fig
ured on getting oro worth on nn
averago about $6, and the great
vnlues disclosed give them n pleasant
surprise.
This tunnel has been run 1700
feot. It cut four other largo ledges
In that distance, somo of theso being
vory good, though earring no such
high grado ore. Tho tunnel was
drivon to open tho ledge that passes
through tho Kentuck property; and
thnt is what has been found, in Mr.
Hopkln's opinion. At any rate, It
is remarkably good.
to the newspaper counted for a cer
tain number of votes, and Miss Way
made a very thorough canvass of hor
district. She put ln a lot of hard
work, and was highly deserving of
the victory.
MIs3 Way is quite popular and has
many friends In the locality, and she
received splendid support, for which
she expresses herself as highly ap
preciative. She has promised to take
advertising matter of Coos Bay with
her, and this will do much to help '
the publicity work of the com-1
munity. Miss Way Is the corres-'
pondent for the Coos Bay Times at(
Myrtle Point, and while she is in the
east will esnd back letters to this
paper telling of her trip.
