I, 3 . 1 VAfcE SIX; THE MORNING ASTORIAN, FftlDAY, MARCH 4, 1904. WILL GO TO SAN PEDRO Tug Dauntless Will Arrive Today to Take Disabled Steamer Grace Dollar South. HEAVY LOSS FROM DISASTER Wreck Iteport Estimates Dam age to Vessel at $1B,000-No Sign ot Missing Schooner W. F. Uarnis. The tug Dauntless will reach Astoria . today from San Francisco for the pur j,ce of towing the disabled steamer Grace Dollar to San Pedro. Captain Otaen has been Informed that he will be towed to the southern California port and has made preparations for the trip. "I presume the owners have fljxred It that they can save money by hav ing the vessel towed to San Pedro," said Captain Olsen yesterday to an As torian man. "The cost of discharging the cargo and reloading it, either here or at San Francisco, would be .uite heavy, and a considerable saving will doubtless be effected by towing the steamer to San Pedro, The tug will be here tomorrow, and It Is possible I may get away before the day Is over." Captain Olsen yesterday filed his twt rPDort at the customs house. It makes the following showing: Estimated value of the vessel.. J60.000 Value of the cargo .4.500 Estimated damage to the vessel. 15.000 Estimated loss of cargo 1.000 The disaster Is attributed to a brok en tail shaft Captain Olsen said he estimated the damage to the ship at $16,000, although It might exceed that figure or fall below It The. last time he brought the Grace Dollar Into port she had a broken shaft but he got out of the accident at a cost of only $50 and one day's delay here. The shaft was found to have had a flaw In It and the Vulcan Iron Works, of San Fran cisco, was compelled to furnish an other. The disaster to the Sequoia, which put Into Astoria In distress in command of Cartaln Olsen, entailed considerable loss to the owners. Just what the present predicament of the Grace Dollar will cost the cnptaln would not venture to say. He has con cluded, however, that when he next visits the Columbia he will not come In distress, and his many friends here hope his prediction may prove tiue. The matter of salvage has not yet been arranged between the Dollar line and the O. R. & N. Co. In view of the heroism displayed by Captain Reed, of the Wallula, It is probable the men on the tug will receive a share of the proceeds. safety of which there fe iiw great con rrn Her disappearance has been similar to that of the fll-fated Cudiow Forrest It will to remembered that at the time of her disappearance slip ping men ridiculed the Idea, that t.he u lout but she never again was seen. The Garros still has a chance, but there Is no denying the fact tfcat there ts ample cause for alarm. USED THE SOUTH CHANNEL. Captain England Tells How He Came Into Port Last Week. According to Captain England, of the British bark Thistle, whose sensational run into the harbor during the preval ence of the gales attracted much at tention, he did not come in through the north channel, as reported, but through the south channel. When his vessel reached Astoria he reported that all ' the outer bar buoys had been carried away, which statement was construed to mean that he had used the old chan nel to the north. This he emphatically denies. . v The Thistle's master likewise relates another conflicting story regarding this trip of his ship. When he came ashore the night of his arrival, he said he had been signalled by Captain Matthews from the pilot schooner to stand oft shore, and that a similar signal was displayed by the lightship. This state ment is denied by pilots, who aver the schooner was herself far oft the bar at the time the Thistle undertook her hazardous passage. The captain Is quite as positive as the pilots, and the lncldfnt affords an excellent opportun ity for discussion. Time Schedule For Howard.

The Magdalene's Cargo. The Oerman four-masted bark Mag dalene cleared yesterday for the United Kingdom, with a large wheat cargo. She takes this time 160,840 bushels of wheat valued at $122,500.

Modifications Made in Aerial Contest to Suit Santot-Dumont New York, March 3. Santos Dumont, the Brazilian aeronaut who has been here two months negotiating for cer tain modifications in the rules for the $100,000 airship contest to be held at the St Louis exposition, announces that he has been successful. He will leave shortly for St Leuls to look over the ground, literally, because he wishes to figure on the proper place to cr.me down should he make an ascension. Preparations also will be made for housing his machine to be known as Santos Dumont No. 7.- No Signs of the Garms. The long continued absence of the four-masted schooner W. F. Garms Is at last creating genuine anxiety in shipping circles, and the fear Is grow ing that the vessel may have been lost during the recent gales. It was more than two weeks ago that she bhowed up off the mouth of the river. At th't time the tug Wallula picked her up a -ta-tai nrith her for the harbor. mm " - but was forced to drop the scnooni on account of the storm. The Garms disappeared that afternoon and has Kft since been seen. She was driven north, .nt. had no accident befallen her, should have returned to the river easily In two days.
