PILOT HAS
BAD MEMORY
Or Else Portland Papers Misquote
Man of the Gold Medal-
Slow Trip Down. v
STORY OF TRANSPORT TRUE
She Loses Anchor And Chiiin
and Narrowly Escapes
Stranding On a
Sandbank. '
If the Portland papers did not err lit
quoting pilot Billy Patterson, that gen
tleman "has misrepresented things In
connection with the passage down the
river of the government transport blx.
It will be recalled that Portland made
much ado about this vessel. She had
been engaged to carry government sup
plies to the Philippines, and, after
much wire-pulling,' the merchants of
the Oregon metropolis induced the de
partment to give them an opportunity
to furnish some of the cargo. The Dix
came to Portland, loaded 3000 or 4000
tons of oats and then left down the
river. Portland's gold medal pilot was
in charge. '
x The Dix experienced the usual diffi
culty in coming down the river, as later
developments have shown. Upon her
arrival down after a trip occupying 30
... hours it was stated she had lost an an
chor and considerable chain. . This
story was published in Astoria and
promptly denied at Portland. The
Portland papers asked Billy Patterson
about it, and Billy was quoted as hav
ing said no such accident occurred.
The yarn waa pronounced to have been
merely an Astoria knock at Portland's
25-foot channel (for SO minutes at ex
treme high water.)
Notwithstanding Captain Patterson's
statement to the contrary, the Dix real
ly did lose an anchor and a very con
siderable amount of chain. The
amount of chain which - was lost was
g9 fathoms. Captain Salte, of the
wrecking barge O. K., has been given
Ihe contract for recovering the lost
property and is now making prepara
tions to commence upon the work. In
. view of this fact, U. would seem that
Captain Patterson had made a mistake.
The circumstances connected with
the loss of the anchor and long piece of
chain are also interesting. It appears
that Captain Patterson did not find the
channel in such fine shape as has been
said. The Dix was running along nice
ly when suddenly it was discovered
that the vessel was approaching a
shoal. Seeing that the transport must
surely run aground. Captain Patterson
ordered the anchor thrown over. The
weight of the big hulk, being thrown
upon the chain, snapped it, but not un
til the speed of the transport had been
reduced and the accident avoided. It
was a close call for the Dix, and In
no other way could she have been pre
vented from hitting the bottom. Had
she run aground it Is" difficult to tell
Just when she would haw been floated.
Th transport is still weather bound
in the lower harbor as the result of her
long trip down the river. Had she
made a reasonably fair trip over the
98-mile waterway she could have got
to sea Thursday morning, but, as It
was, she did not arrive down until the
weather had grown stormy. Since then
the bar has been rather too rough for
her to attempt to leave the harbor.
Already thrve days have been lout, at
great expense and inconvenience to the
government, particularly at tins lime.
when the wardepartment Is showing
unusual activity because of the possi
bilities that may arise as the result of
the far eastern complication, and the
unfortunate circumstance is bound to
gflve the Columbia river a black eye
Above all things, the government de
mauds prompt dispatch, and in case of
the Dix much trouble was experienced
in getting her to Portland because, of
delays occurring In the past, for the
very san e reason that is now prevent
ing the Dix from putting to sea. The
transport could have gone out without
the slightest difficulty on Thursday had
she arrived down during the morning;
The indications are for a continued
spell of heavy weather and consequent
detention of the government vessel.

New York. Feb. 20. Barefooted and
otherwise scantily attired, a man who
the polios think is Thomas Doherty,
AFLOAT of Philadelphia, did a war dance In
the snow In front of the statue of Gen
eral Slocum In Brooklyn yesterday aft
ernoon. As he danced he took coins out
of his pockets and begun throwing them
around among a crowd of boys that
gathered. Drivers to Prospect park
drew rein to watch the strange antics
of the man.
A patrolman coming from the Grand
avenue station reached the spot after
the stranger had thrown off his over
coat and coat, and It looked as If he
wanted to go to bed In the snow. He
was taken to the station house In the
wagon, and AmbulanceSurgeon Ingalla
was called. He took the queer patient
to the Kings county hospital where he
waa placed under observation, There
he seemed unable to give any coherent
account of his movements and Identity
Although well dressed, and looking a
though he might occupy some impor

he waa a mechanic. He said that his
name was "Tom and that he lived In
Philadelphia.
The man's clothing consisted of
black diagonal suit black overcoat of
some heavy material, patent leather
shoes and a derby hat. .
; The escapade of Thursday night,
wherein an indignant husband was said
to have chased a man Into the river,
has caused much comment around the
city, and the Incident haa been gener
ally discussed. In the past men have
been known to climb telegraph poles.
but the spectacle of a man Jumping
Into the Icy river to elude a pursuer
with a gun In his hand and blood In
bis eye is a novelty that has set wag
ging the tongues of the gossips.
It appears that the story first print
ed of the affair was slightly erroneous.
The meeting of the three parties In.
volved occurred near the corner of
Seventeenth and Exchange streets, and
proved unexpected all around. The
party of the second part (the alleged
swimmer) seemed very much fright
ened upon the approach of the husband
and sought safety In flight. As he
ran he stumbled and fell ami the him

gaining his feet, fled again. The bus
band followed and the chase continued
down Sevtnteenth street to Commercial
and then west on Commercial.
