'After battling against a fierce storm for
over twenty-four hours, the eteatner
Senator, of the Sa Francisco & Portland
Steamship Company, reached port at
12:30 o'clock this morning, more than
twenty-two hour late from Portland.
One man dead, several cabins wreck- '
ed, an exhausted crew and seventy-five
acasick passenger nerved as records of
the havoc of the gale agaiust which
the boat fought during all of Monday
night and part of Tuesday.
Xed Milander, aged 70, one of the
oldest seamen in tlie employ of the
company, was. killed while attemping
. to rescue two young women imprisoned
in a flooded cabin. The accident oc
curred Monday night while the Senator
was ploughing its way through heavy
neaa. The aged seaman was on watch
on the upper deck, when a heavv sea
broke over the craft, tearing down the
door of a cabin occupied by Mis Kath
erine Haxelgrove and Mis Emma
Struct (probably. Kluetsch).
The cabin of tlie young women wa
half filled with water, and their scream
brought Milander running to their aid.
Another sea tore an air funnel from the
deck, and it struck He seaman on the
head. lie was taken below, and died a
few hours after.
The ship's officer and crew hid a
hard fight between handling the boat
and giving euccor to the passengers,
many of whom are still invalided a

j wv that the behavior of the officer and
crew excellent throughout the try
ing ordeal, and that everything that
was possible we done for their comfort.
The rough sea mule comfort impos
sible. -The
death of Xed Milander ha caused
J deep regret among hi companion. It
! is taid that hi attempt to Rave the two
.'young women was heroic. The wave
were sweeping the deck from end to
lend a he started on hi perilous jour
' ney. As he n cured the calun from which
the two young women were calling-for
help another roller struck the hip and
swept over her. It struck a heavy iron
funnel, snapped it oft at the deck line,
and the heroic rescuer wa dealt a fatal
blow. Hi body was recovered by his
shipmates and brought to this port for
burial. This morning a subscription
wan started on the dock, all hi former
associates subscribing liberally to a
burial fund.
Tlie officer of the Senator were:
Captain II. H. Floyd. First Officer E. V.
Mason. Second Officer Johnson (lives at
42(1 Franklin avenue, in thi city). Pur
ser C. F. Haywood. Chief Steward Claud
Cooper, Stewardess Mr. Brown.
The Senator had nine first class and
six oeond-chis. passenger out of As
toria, but of the fifteen no record is
kept here, a it i kept in Portland, a
fashion of doing business that is not ap
preciated at a juncture of thi sort, and
which will be prolxably be remedied in
the future, since such information i
peculiarly pertinent and valuable when
a ship of her importance is in a stress,
or worse.
All Astoria will rejoice in tlie safety
of the ship and her people, and sJiare
the general regret incident to tlie vio
lent, but manly death of Mr. Milander,

Store. Where lhe New thing

sailorly qualities and sense of duty that
