II Well. Mr. Shaw, I hope
'ihavl too hard a feeling U
as Sb the accident. When T got dow'
saar as red buoy iso. z 1 was run
lag under a slow bell, so as to
ood view of tho bar. It looked
favorable, In fact, smooth, and tho
tide on that day was 3 ft. 5 In. above
zero, so I knew there was plenty of
water. I had crossed tho bar and
was well outside tho black buoy,
when it commenced to roll in, and
turn over, as it looked, the wholo
ocean over us, but thanks to a good
little ship she came thron
rode four heavy breakers all
but by this timo she had lost her
headway and fell off In the trough.
It was then a tremendous sea struck
us forward-aft and tore away rudder
and rudder-post, those parts strik
ing the propellor and knocked off
several blades, rendering ship help
less. It was this saina, wave that
washed Mr. Pyott ovofrboard. He
liad been told to go to jjis room, as
is always the custom, fie answered
t.lmt lm could cross the bar in a row-in
boat; but finally he was tout in tho
stateroom with his wlfeand boy.
According to Mrs. Pyott's'ltatemo
ho went out on deck. Sho'Mfifcmed
the door and told him to come back.
Just then a heavy sea broke over us
and shattered the open door to
splinters, knocking Mrs. Pyott sense
less back in the room, in which con
dition she was found a few minutes
later, with many cuts and bruises.
This lead to a search for Mr. Pyott
who could not bo found, and was
evidently washed overboard by the
same sea and drowned. It then be
ing too late to take any steps to look
for tho lost man; and it would nave iy. it is too Dad tnat tno ureaK
been at great risk of losing more water should be in trouble also. Am
lives to try to savo Mr. Pyott nau
anybody seen him go overboard.
Ship being in this predicament it
was a question if she was going to
strike on the north spit or get
pounded to pieces, or land on tho
beach north of the jetty, high and
dry. The former would have meant
loss of many lives, maybe all; whilo
tho latter assured safety to every
body. Those thoughts flashed
through my mind In rapid succession,
as there wasn't much timo to think
or study. It was blowing a strong
S'ly breezo at tho time. I set the
mainsail j this brought her head to
tho westward and thereby managed
to work her off shore. In tho morn
ing of Nov. 29th, wo managed to
head her Inshoro and stood towards
tho bar, expecting tho tug Columbia
to come out in tho morning, as they
saw us in troublo from tho life
saving station; but ns they failed to
appear, I decided to run for the
Columbia river. About 9 o'clock In
tho forenoon- (Friday) tho British
steamer "Boverlc" hovo in sight. I
signaled him to tow mo to Columbia
River Light Ship. Ho hovo to and I
lowered a boat and went aboard of
her. Wo both agreed tha sho was
not fit for towing ns her propeller
was out of tho water half of tho
timo and a heavy sea running. Ho
would have towed hor all right had I
given him tho Allianco as a prlco, but
I refused to do that beeauso sho was
not tanking and wo could mako a
llttlo headway, about threo miles an
hour. I told tho captain ho would
bo nionoy ahead If ho took her for
$3,000.00. Ho then said ho couldn't
think about towing us to tho Light
Ship for $3,000.00, and at that rate
I would havo to bo responsible for
his ship( tho Bovoric). This being
a big risk I ennio to tho conclusion
to mako our own way, and asked him
to sell mo a snll at any prlco, but this
ho could not do. I then asked him
to 'report mo at Columbia River
Light Ship that wo had lost a fow
propellor blades crossing out from
Coos Bay, and that I would proceed
towards Columbia river at tho rato
of threo miles an hour and flftcon
miles offshore This ho promised to
do whonovor ho could communicate
About tho loss of a passenger I told
confidential, as I did not wish that
to bo known until our eafo arrival in
