The Pacific Journal, published at n
waco. calls the Astorlan to task for
condemning Capt!n Stuart end bis
life-saving crew at Cape Disappoint
ment on account of the crew's actlna
at the time of the sinking of the barge
Wahkiakum. What Induced the Paelflo
Journal to A this is a mystery.
Charges have, been made against the
captain and his crew to the Astorlan,
but the Astorlan investigated the mat
ter and defended the ife-eaving crew.
It showed that the captain and his
crew had performed their duty to the
uppermost. Along these lines It may
be proper to state that the only edi
torial written on fhe Pacific coast In
a daily paper advocating the pension-
Ing of life-savers was published In the
Astorlan, and that since that editorial
was written the bill has successfully
passed one branch of congress and is
likely to pass the other. The Astorlan
has the highest regard for the life-oiv-
ers generally and went to trouble and
expense to defend Captain Stuart and
his brave crew, and the Ilwaco Jour
nal's false charge is very ungenerous.
