MARINE LOVE STORY TOLD NVw San Fraadsco-Porland Steamer Line Shipi Coin., Coming and Due . .Captain Skiblie Inquiry Aragonia Down and Out Marine Notes. There is growing resentment in this j city ov. r the continued and wanton ef forts of the Portland press, to discredit the memU-r of the Columbia River liar Pilot's As-iation, of Astoria. Not a day passes but some stricture it laid upon them,, tlie principal charge Ning that th.-y will not find and bort a much water on the lar a the shipper of Portland thing, and profe to know, should be then. There are nine pilot in the ao-ia-tion. Not one of them but if quali ti.nl to take in and out, over thin Imr. any "hip whose draft will itiit her crowing it with any degree of safety. They know this !Ar as the Portland editors know their own column but the difference between the pilot and the Portland editor i that the former know only the Oiliuubla river bar a a business, while the Portland writer as sume to know both. That the Port lander are expert on the amount of water available on manr bar around that man's town land a meager amount at that) goes without saying, a they have chronicled many a wreck wrought by crossing them too often ami with too little water; but the further they go in the controversey about the big sand bar that lies athwart the gate to the Columbia, the plainer their aleo lute ignorance of it is. Xo one wishes there was a greater and hiore iermanent depth of water there than these same pilot. F.very foot of ships' draft and every ton of ship' register they can pilot either way across that barrier i good gold coin in their px k. ets as well a in the pocket of ship pers all over the state. Why should they decry the poibility of earning $.() a foot and four cent a ton, if they can make more a easily a they can make less ! The association is under heavy ex- pen-. It maintain qn office here, employs a secretary, and outfits and keep up one of the best pilot boats on the entire coast (of their own, not the state's) at heavy cost, and pay ten per cent. of their gross earning every year for tug- service. If greater footage and great er tonnage can be safely carried over the bar, why should it not 1 doner in abatement of these big item of con stant cost ? Are these nine men cowards f Ar? they afraid to attempt the crossing of ships of greater weight and draft T Their years of serviie, in all s-asons, in all weather, under manifttld con J ditions of tide and bur; their almost ierfect immunity from loss and dis aster; their practical knowledge of seamanship and constant employment, of it to the advantage of tlieir patrons; their certain knowledge of their im mense responsibilities as to human life and vast values of prosTty, n"gative the idea of cowardice. The pilot i in the same class as the railway engineer. and th trained fire fight -r, wlien it come to ersonal courage. So timid man would dare the known perils of toe profession; such daring would be proof-positive o( extraordinary inter- pedity such as would soon eijuip him for any known phase of the service. Well! Heing business men, trained pilots, fine seamen, expert and fear les, why should they be charged with mimify a business of which thew are masters, if it were possible and prudent to magnify it ! The truth is. these pilots are in toseftion of tlifl only actual and practicable knowledge of the bar, and knowing it as they do, conduct the business with a prudence and fore thought that redounds to the direct advantage of shipper and ship owners, and in as direct derogation of their own interest and profits, a sys tem that should command instant re spect, rather than ridicule, reproach or doubt. Love'i Younf Dream. , The Hamburg company that owns the icrman ship Tarpenbek, just arrived here under command of Captain ft. Hrauhn, one of the real young masters afloat, (32 years of age.) has been guilty of "butting in" on a genuine case of "Love's Young dream" and waking both parties thereto from their delirious rapture. It happened In thi When Captain Hrauhn was in thi sirt two year ago on one of the same company' ship, he was serving a first mute and aspiring to a captaincy, and the hand of a pretty fraulien Wk in Hamburg,, and could hardly wait the consumation of the voyage, so eager was he to see hi love again and hive) her with the 'good name of Ihauhn. That long cruie ended at last, and hi dearest wish wa fulfilled and the lit tle Herman girl a few short mouth ago became Mrs. Hrauhn, to the abound ing happiness of Isith. After the young couple had settled coaily down to housekeeping in or near Hamburg, the huland wa offered a pleasant and profitable situation in the government pilot service on the Ham burg lar, fr which, it seem, several month training were essential, and Hrauhn gladly availed himself of the op portunity fnr a life long and congenial post, and plunged assiduously into the studies necessary to equip him for the place. After a few weeks of joyful re search, he received word from his old employer begging him to accept the captaincy of the Tarcnbck, then, a they declared under charter for Port Ijs Angeles, California, with quick de spatch Isith way. Of course Hrauhn and hi young wife were pleased with the choice made and proud of the pro motion given him, and a the toyagf involved only a few months, in which he could prepare himself for hi chosen I culling as pilid, and get him home again J long before the dawn of his thirty I fourth vear should bar him from the t loi eminent nssieiiioi.tif lluv decided it were In-sI to take the captaincy, lie did so; packed hi trunk, hade hi young bride a fond adieu and sailed forth from Hamburg only to encounter almost endless callus and headwinds the entire voyage, and to find when he got (here, hi company had bamlsmrU'd him, thete was no charter nor charter party at Poit Um Angeles to grei-t him nor hi ship but only a dubious letter from his owners deprecating the fact and ordering him to Portland. Raging inwardly but like a gissl officer obeying outwardly to the letter, he sailed from the California port and wa again haf lied by ralins, headwind and gales all thway to the gateway of the Colum bia. He crossed in yesterday morning, and is now waiting towage to Portland. Hut he is mad.
