.-1 - PAGE SIX. ASTORIA, OREGON, FRIOA-", JANUARY 15, 1904. it -f - I ARRIVES HERE ONE DAY LATE British Ship Cromartyshire Fait? to Save Duty on a Big Car go of Coal. OFF THE HEADS YESTERDAY Duty Bwamc Effective at .Mll night anil the Consignee Loses 1541 by ure to Keavh Port. A three-masted shlp.tupposed to t the British chip Cromarthyshlre, ar rived oft the Heads at noon yesterday, and ts still Id the offing. - The vessel, if he really Is the Cromarthyshlre, comes from Newcastle, Australia, and brings cargo of coal. ' When she showed up at noon yesterday she was J 20 miles to the northwest, and it was Impossible to get her in before dark. The Cromarthyshlre had on board 2300 tona of coal, consigned to the Holmes Puel A Ice Company, of Port land. Just a year ago congress sus pended the coal duty for a period of one year, and at 13 o'clock last night the duty again became effective. Had the Cromarthyshlre succeeded in reach ing port yesterday she would have saved the duty of T cents per ton to the consignee, an Item of f 1541. Mr. Holmes, head of the Portland firm came down from Portland yesterl day. He was satisfied the ship out side faa the Cromarthyshlre, and neces sarily he was anxious that she should reach port before the law again be came effective. He made overtures to several masters to so outside last night and try and get the ship into port but none would risk It. The bar was not mm smooth as it night have been and "the night was dark. 80 the ship was compelled to beat around oft the river during the night, but it is quite likely she will gt In this morning. The Cromarthyshlre is a famous ship, and ha had more narrow escapes from total loss, perhaps, than any other vessel which ever crossed the Columbia Yar. She cas been wrecked several times and many of her men have been drowned, and once she was a party to the loss of 300 or 400 lives off the coast of Newfoundland. However, she lived through It all, and today Is the hand some, staunch ship she was 20 years ago, when the firm of Thomas taw A Co. put her into the water. She has made this port many times. Captain Nichol la the present master of the Cromarthyshlre. Ha formerly commanded the Sutherlandshlre, an other vessel well known at Astoria. .The Sutherlandshlre was In bis charge "when I he was lost In the Java sea, and at ;bat time tin, Nlebol and half the Crew were drowned. Mis. Nichol had been here with the captain In the 'Sutherlandshlre two years ago and was quire well known. Several years ago the Cromarthyshlre collided with the big French liner La Bourgoyne, oft Halifax harbor, and the scenes which followed the collision were the most terrible In the maritime history of yie western world. The French sailors fought the passengers In the mad effort for salvation, and those who were saved were sicked up by the ship. She was then In com mand of Captain Henderson, who had brought her to this port twice. A long legal fight followed the disaster, and in the end the Shire line was award ed handsome damages. After the suit was settled Captain Henderson was given command of the Largo Law, an other of the Shire carriers. Captain Reed assuming command of the Cro marthyshlre. The good ship was wrecked oft the coast of Africa and Captain Reed perished. The vessel was not a total loss, however.and Cap tain Nichol was sent out to repair her. Ke r-ut her In shape and today she Is one of '.he finest clippers that piles the peas. While the Cromarthyshlre ha missed the coal law by only one day, she has nevertheless made a spanking run from Newcastle, being 61 days out yesterday. She registers about 1400 tons and carries 2300 tons of coal. Last year she loaded at the sound. Four years ago she loaded here. In command of Captain Reed, but shortly after leav ing port encountered a gale, her cargo shifting. She put into San Francisco for repairs and from that port made a fine run home. That she failed to get in last night was a matter of regret to local shipping men, who entertain the most friendly feeling both for the stanch Shire ship and her genial mas ter, Captain Nichol. LUMIER CARRIERS ARRIVE. Four Vessels Reash Port Yssterday From California Points. Four lumber larrlen reached port yesterday from California points. The weather settled during the morning, and the Iteet that happened to reach the Heads was brought in without trouble. " The vessels arriving yesterday were the four-nutated bm-kenttne Katie Ftecklngvr and the schooner Viking. Henry Wilson and Zttmpa. The Katie Flecklmrer cornea from San Pedro, and registers 42S tons net. She will stop at St. Helens and there take on 50,000 feet of lumber, then proceeding to Portland to finish. - The Henry Wilson comes from Pan Francisco and will loud at Portland, while the Vlktng Is one of the Hume fleet, and will load at (he TVmgue Point mill. The Zampa aid not enter at the customs house dur ing the day, but it Is understood she will load at Portland. Three of the steam schooners which arrived this week are now loading lum ber at Portland. They are the Aurella. Prentiss and Q. C. Lindauer. The Undauer will be down the river to. day r :omorrow. as the finished yes terday. The schooner C. K. Coats arrived down the river yesterday from St. Hel ens and cleared for Sar. Pedro. She takes I0,m railroad ties, measuring something over 700.000 board feet. She goes to San Pedro. The Coats Joined the waiting lumber fleet In the lower harbor. TO INSTALL NEW GAS BUOY. Present Dofectiva Light at River t Mouth Will Be Replaced. A new gas buoy, to take the place of the one disabled at the mouth of the Columbia. Is about to be shipped from the east and will be here in a month. The new buoy Is of a special type and wHl probably overcome the disadvant ages suffered by former gas buoys at that point. The trouble heretofore has been that the old buoys would not stanl up under the strong ebb tide. but the new' one is of a different -type and la expected to be able to resist the cu-rent. It will have a whistle as well aa a flash light. The old buoy Is still holding on to Its anchor, but will be removed at soon as the weathef moderates. The lighthouse tender Mantanlta Is Mill waiting tor the gale to subside, eo she can proceed north. It Is the In tention of Captain C. 3. Calkins, the lighthouse inspjetor, to make the trip on her. After Inspecting Fuget sounu lights And buoys, the tender will go to Alaska to replace the buoys In Wrangel straits, and Captain Calkins will Inspect the four light stations In those waters. The tender Heather Is at Portland, wheremachlnlsts are Installing the steer ing engine, eam windlass,capstan.etc. The tender was turned over to the lighthouse board before she was fully completed .and this opportunity was tak?n to flnlth up the work. It will be about two weeks longer before the boat is ready for service. Marina Not. The morning report from the Heads yesterday showed the wind to havs moderated to 12 miles. The weather was thick, but the bar was not nearly ro rough as had been the cane the previous day. A new launch Is being built at the Booth cannery by A. Iverson for the Booth Packing Company. She I 56 feet in length and 11 feet wide, and will be completed In time for the com ing fishing season's work. The steamship Oregon departed yes terday for San Francisco, after hav ing been weatliCr bound for several days. She took a full cargo of freight nnd a large number of passengers. The Orfgon will continue on the San Francisco-Astoria run until repairs are made to the Columbia and Elder. Captain Campbell, chairman of the pilot board, said yesterday he was well satisfied with the present efficient pilot service at the mouth of the Columbia. Commissioner Farrell, of Portland, told Captain Campbell at the last meeting of the board that the people of Port land were likewise pleased, and that ro complaint was offered In the me t'opoll. When the Andorlilna reached the Co lumbia ahe was unable to get In promptly on time, and her master made much complaint after getting into the h..tu.. ..umlnffW fr.riretfill that the pilot mush guage their work according! to weather conditions, and that it is Impo.wlble for them to always be at the point whsve a vessel happens to show up. The Andorhlna's master also com plained that a shot wa fired across his bow from the lightship, but that there was any effort to sink hi ship will be seriously doubted . Big 8trik May Result.
