Oregonlan: The steamer Charles R. Spencer will probably not see any more service on the Columbia river this season. The boat Is hard aground on the Oregon shore near Rowena, a short distance below The Dalles, and there she is likely to remain for the next two months. ' Yesterday officers and crew abandoned her, leaving only a single watchman In charge. Nothing can be done toward getting the boat Into deep water until the river has fallen enough to permit the placing of ways under her, when she will have to be hauled some 1500 feet before she can be launched. When the steamer's hog-chains broke during the gale Thursday morning and she drifted helplessly toward the Ore gon side, she stranded about 60 feet from the shore. The action of the wind and waves has since forced her up to within a few feet of the bank, and at the same time shoaied the water along side of her. The boat might have been pulled off Wednesday, but now such a course is impossible, as the river has fallen rapidly. She must either He where she is until high water floats her next January, or be hauled off on skids when the river falls suffi clently for this purpose. The latter method will d6ubtless be adopted In getting her back into the channel. The crew, 17 In number, together with William Dunn, the mate, came down from Rowena yesterday on the Bailey Gatcert. Captain E. W. Spen cer, the owner, Captain William John son, the master, Purser Charles Spen cer and the engineer returned to this city by rail last night. Only the watch man was left to look after the strand' ed vessel. According to the state' ments of the crew, no promise was held out to them that their services would be required again in the near future, and one and all are now look Ing for other positions. They declare the boat is in bad shape and cannot be saved without a large outlay of money. The "hogging" of the steamer not only broke some of the steampipes, the ends of one being over a foot apart, but many of the dock planks are broken, some of the beams parted and the woodwork of the cabins badly wrenched. Both bow and stern rest on the sand, while the center of the boat is elevated about two feet. The break is where the boat was Spliced last year when Captain Spencer had her lengthened 30 feet. When trie Bailey Gatzert approached the disabled steamer on the up-trlp Wednesday afternoon, Captain Spencer requested that an effort be made to pull bis boat into deep water. The wind was blowlnlg almost a hurricane at the time and as the Gatzert had a full load of passengers, her master, Captain Sherman, declined to put in danger the lives of the people intrust ed to his care. Furthermore, he could not approach within 1,000 feet with skillful maneuvering to prevent the Gatzert from going aground and had she struck the sands, another catas trophe might have been the result. Captain Sherman, however, offered to lend what assistance he could on his return, It the wind was not so strong, but yesterday morning when he hailed the stranded boat, Captain Spencer saw nothing could be done and did not ask for help. Instead, he sent out several boatloads of his crew who were brought to this city. According to the opinion of steam boat men, Captain Johnson made a mistake in trying to buck the swells with the Spencer Instead of hugging the shore as other boats do in such weather. Captain Spencer's grievance against his skipper Is that he left the pilothouse when the hog-chalns broke and permitted the boat to drift ashore, where she is now fast As the first pipe to break was the whistle-pipe, and the break was immediately behind Captain "Bill's" back, he can perhaps be excused for wanting to get out of the pilothouse. At any rate, Captain Johnson Is now looking for another Job. The cabin boys say there was great excitement on the Spencer when the accident occurred. The pounding of the bow on the huge swells, the snap ping of chains and crashing of wood work almost threw some of the pas sengers Into hysterics. Women began to scream, men to shout and passengers of all degrees joined In a wild scram ble for life preservers. One very large woman tried to encase herself in a life preserver, which would only go half way around, and securing a sec ond one, vainly tried to fasten the two together. The steward and cablnboys eventually pacified the people, and al most before they knew it, the boat had struck the shore, where the water was comparatively quiet. After the steamer had drifted closer to the shore, the horses, 40 head of which were aboard, were landed and taken back to The Dalles, the Gatsert bringing them down yesterday. The freight was also put ashore and trans ferred to other boats. MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES WANTED Two housekeeping rooms, with sink and running wster. Ad 4ross T.
