ASTOK1A, Oa:., .Sept. Ifl. Two siuwora -of .the atwini
schooner Frauds IL Lr.ggot.t were jneked up about twenty
jnilcs south of the Columbia "River iniouth (last aiiglit, ic
cording to n "nreless received here today. Tho wirelosfj
stated that two .steamers were staudiing by the spot wlnsre
the schooner went down last night. The only signs of- the
ill-fatecl vessel wero bits of wreckage. The wireless came
from the Sail .Francisco and Portland Steamship Coin
nanv's steamer Beaver- due here at 11 a. m. The Uea.vcr
did not mention tho names of the two vessels left standing
by the scene of the wreck. One is supposed to be a cruis
er, probably the .Japanese cruiser ltlziuno, which was ru
mored last night was 3n collision with the Lcggett. I?e
ports last night said Mo Lcggett sirrflc .ahont :sixty arnica

Utitver's ncssaftU Hint iNVt) i,Vii)Wj had burn )iclcvd up
nbout twenty miles south of the CoKmihiu.
.. The Lcggett carried ihirty-seven passengers and a crew
of twenty-five. She sailed from Portland .September 12
fcrlfoquiani to load lumber for California. !She left JIo
ijuinin last Thursdav morning.
Jl)ZlM"A DID XOT SAVE AXV
The .lap cruiser rd.iuna in a wireless message to Opera
tor "Williamson of the Coos Hay wireless station ibis after
noon staled she had found nothing on her trip nmilh from
the Columbia Kiver to the scene of the disaster. She rtld
not save anyone. The Id.mna passed the Columbia hound
to the scene at 8:30 this morning.
The .steamer Beaver arrived hero today, bringing one
furvivor from the wreck of the steam schooner Francis IE.
JiCggott, which sank in a gale yesterday about sixty miles
with of the Columbia River. Alexander Fnrrcll is the
survivor brought on the Beaver. One other man, George
Pollinan; a member of the crew, was saved by the steamer
V. If. Buck. Boats are now searching for more. Carroll
was confined to his stateroom with exhaustion upon ar
rival here. When rescued he had been floating about
fiinco 3 p. m. Friday. Ho was picked up at 1:30 a. m. The
number of passengers and crew who lost their lives is es
timated to be seventy-two. The Beaver was not in sight
of or in contact with the lost vessel, but ran into her
wreckage at midnight. The F. IL Buck was at tho scene
and it was from one of her boats that Farrcll was put on
Iward the Beaver, A terrific gale was blowing yesterday
and while it was at its height tho Lcggett 's deck load
lifted suddenly and she turned over, going down soon
afterwards. Tho steamer Daisy Putnam, which arrived
hero just ahead of the Beaver, reported that she had sceu
ve or six vessels playing searchlights on i central point,
presumed to bo tho Leggett's wreckage, at two o'clock tins
morning. Tho Daisy Putnam had no wireless and could
ot learn what tho trouble was, but it was evident that a
March for possible survivors was still in progress,
"We left Gray's Harbor Wednesday ifiorning," and
Farrcll on the Beaver. "A gale blew up in the afternoon
ud the waves wero mountain high. Tho Lcggett began to
Pound heavily and the captain ordered that the dcckload
m jettisoned. Soon after this tho hatches wero swept
way and the hold began to fill. Tho passengers were or
dered into their cabins and many of them wero shut up
jvaeu the vessel went down. Only one life boat was
launched. Thirfv rwsnns wero in it, including four wo-
Jien. It capsized and sank the instant it struck tho water.
()nly six women in all wero on the vessel,"
The records of the lost vessel
were picked up three miles north

which Is about ninety-five miles
north of Coos Bay. It Is thought
that the vessel was loBt further
The only vessel near the scene of
