but such things go heedless and
nothing short of a Tunerpl will em
pathize the fact sufficiently to have
any effect. ' Sunday morning about
i eleven o'clock five- young men of
Waldport went out to the bar buoy
in a small launch. The sea ' was
rather calm but the usual north
' west wind was gathering and by
. the time the launch was headed for
the bay the bar was rather choppy.
A laree amount of water was
shipped and the engine was put
out of commission. An anchor was
' immediately dropped but , failed
to hold against the strong wind
and ' the heavy current at the
mouth of the bay. The launch
drifted south and the anchor finally
held the launch in the trough of
. the sea just inside the outer line of
breakers. In this perilous positron
the launch remind Beveral hours,
the boys using their hats to bail out
the water. Shorty after two o'clock
the Anvil passed and stopped a
Bhort distance above the bar long
enough to ascertain that they could
not safely send a boat ' into the
breakers, and then went on. v Just
after this the cannery boat, in
charge of C - R. Dobbins, . crossed
out over the bar but found . it im
Dossible to reach the boys.- At
three o'clock those on shore were
' much relieved to see that the engine
on the little launch was aga n run
ning and by following the line of
' breakers ; to r the bar the launch
came in safely. Their rescue was
accomplished only by luck and as it
was five mothers spent hours of
agony and brothers and sisters
. wept at what wan thought' by ' the
watchers to be a certain fate for
-none of the boys are good swim
mers.'; '-And some of these boys who
went to the buoy just for'fun suc
ceeded in convincing their mothers
that they were at Yaquina John
Point when their engine broke and
that they drifted out to sea against
a strong rtod tide. .
