According to the- San Francisco
I Chronicle, the schooner Advent has
; been wrecked In ,a collusion. Tho
boat IS owned by the Simpson Lumber
Company nnd left Coos Day July 2,
bound for San Francisco with a load
ot Simpson lumber. Tho boat Is
valued at approximately $40,000 and
is about eight years old.
Tho Simpson Lumber Company has
been unfortunate with Its boats of
late. It was on Thursday, Juno 20,
that the barkontlne Louis, valued at
about $45,000, was wrecked off tho
Farrallono Islands). This vessel had
not been In Coos Day for some years.
Following Is the -Chronicle's account
of the accident to tho Advent:
"Tho schooner Advent, lumber
laden, which was wrecked attwo
o'clock on Saturday morning by col
liding with the steamer Sonoma off
Mendocino City, was towed Into port
yesterday afternoon by the steam
schooner Gtmlala, only her watcr
soaked cargo keeping her afloat.
"Captain Olsen, master of tho
wrecked schooner, angrily refused to
make any statement with reference
ot the disaster. lie did say, how
over, that Captain Cousins of the
steamer Sonoma was a perfect gen
tleman and had treated him with
evc-r.V consideration.
"First Officer Kilward nutzing of
the schooner Gaalala, which towed
tho disabled schoonor into port, made
tho following statement:
" 'We were bowling along under a
favorable wind about 3 o'clock In tho
afternoon when wo heard tho Sono
rca's whistles of distress and at once
made our way to tho scene of the
disaster. Arriving there, wo found
the Sonoma with tho wrecked Advent
in tow, and as soon as wo hove to
wero boarded. by tho first officer of
the Sonoma, who requested our cap
tain to visit Captain Cousins aboard
the Sonoma. Captain Kyellen at once
compiled, and an hour later returned
and commanded us to prepare to take
the damaged schooner in tow, which
we did by picking up tho hawser cast
off by tho Sonoma. We would not
have attempted to tow her into port
but for the fact that her cargo was
lumber and so thoroughly water
soaked that It was Impossible for her
to sink. Wo experienced very little
trouble In getting her to port.
"First Ofllcer Butzing said that tho
damage to the Sonoma was slight,
consisting only of the breaking of
her forward stanchions. When the
collision came the jlbboom of tho
Advent fell across the Sonoma's bow,
and this part of the wreckage was
left where it had fallen, being moved
slightly to bo out of tho way of the
deckhands.
"The injuries to the Advent arc ex
tensive, consisting In the loss of her
bow and jlbboom as completely as
though severed with a huge knife.
Her forward and main masts were
broken, tho mizzen boom is gone and
the port bok missing. The clothes of
two sailors who slept forward were
lost in the wreckage and tho men
themselves narrowly escaped death,
as they wero In their bunks at the
time.
"The Advent was taken in tow by
the red stack tugs Sae Lark and Lib
erty when-she had passed tho heads
and was towed to an anchorage near
China Basin. About $15,000 will bo
required to put tho schooner in re
pair again. The loss is fully covered
by Insurance."

and lmd not been found up to tho
time of going to press. Mr. Kelly
is a sufferer with lung troublo and
of lato has been partially demented.
Mrs. Kelly left him for a few minutes
yefjrtcrday shortly 'after noon, and
when she returned ho was missing.
A search was Instituted and con
tinued for the best part of the re
maining day, but no trace of him
was found until night, when Charle3
Bradbury came into the city and told
of meeting a man of Kolly's descrip
tion about six miles down tho rail
road. Tho man was looking for the
C. A. Smith sawmill and made in
quiries of Bradbury. When this
word came it was too late to continue
the search toward tho country where
ho had been seen, and parties will
scour tho neighborhood south of
hero early today.
Mrs. Kelly is grief-stricken over
his absence and is waiting anxiously
at tho home of Mr. 'Kelly-s brother
in South Mnrshfleld for news of her
husband. Mr. Kelly is a medium
sized man, of a delicate appearance,
lie has a heavy dark mustache, and
about a week's growth of beard;
wears n brown derby hat, and a dark
tailored suit. He had been an em
ploye of tho C. A. Smith Co. in tho
Kast for 24 years, and when his
health failed, was accompanied to
Marshflold by his brother with tho
hope that a chnngo in climate would
help him. But he did not gain, and
they started back to Minneapolis.
On tho way they met Mrs. Kelly at
Portland and she insisted on his re
turning here. Tho party arrived on
Wednesday.
