Murphy stumbled rer the stringer into tl Columbia and in an instant all was in confusion; lie sank and rose, the first and second times, and it was the lotked that he was making no effort -to save himself, whether from the fact that he did not know how to swim, or that he was ren dered helpless from his cups or from the deadly chill of the water. At this juncture, a bystander whose name the Astorian simply cannot ascer tain after dilligent inquiry, plunged in after the helpless nun and started for him in vigorous fashion, but had made but few strokes when he, too, was Stickea with cramps and called for aid. In tha instant someone came running from the cannery with a rope which was cast to the Ufa saver, who caught it and was hauled ashore more dead than alive, while poor Murphy drifted out and down with tha tide.

Dunham, of the fine and popular steamship Roanoke whose rudder and sternpost were torn out on her last trip from here to San Fran cisco, as she was crossing out over the bar at Eureka (a port of call), besides being wholly enoxerated by the federal inspectors, Edward and Fuller, upon their rigid examination into the mis chance that overtook him, was on Fri day last, in San Francisco, presented with a magnificent gold watch, bearing his monogram and an outline fac simile of the Roanoke, on its cases as a testimonial from the Underwriters' Agency for his careful and skillful AGAIN AND STILL AGAIN. Manaser C. II. Callander, of the Calleuder" Navigation Company, went to the stranded Hammond log roft in Young's Bay ymterday on tha noon flood, with the company's steamers Mel ville, Jordan and Vanguard, and made another (the fourth) vigorous effort to swing the monsler off the Young's Bay siiit into channel water. The tide wa very high yesterday and was attimcnt ed by a heavy sou'westor thai drove in a big additional volume Q taster. The fleet put in two good 1M3N haul ing on the inshore end of the raft and succeeded . in swinging it a radius of onefourth of the compass, but could not dislodge it from it bed on the spit. A new effort will be made today when even a heavier flood may serve a more successful issue. REPORTED IN TROUBLE. Tlie lively motor launch Elk, Captain Thomas Spencer, is reported in trouble on the north shore somewhere west of Fort Canby whither she went yesterday morning from Fort Stevens carrying the football team from the latter place to an engagement with the Fort Canbv team on the latter grounds yesterday afternoon. There was a heavy sea running and the launch was en to be rolling heavily among the fish trap opposite, or near, McGowan's. The people on board were seen passing from side to side in order to hold her on as even a keel as possible. Captain Spencer is a capable seaman and will probably tke good care of his boat and his people and will show up all right thi morning. He probably spent the night on the Washington shore rather than take any unncessary risks in crowing back at night. The Elk is staunch and, strong and her motor like ly gave out and will need repairing be fore she veutures homeward. THINGS WERE WET. On Saturday morning last about six ooooocooooooooooooooc Pa A.

J o'clock, John Jorgenson went on to the Callender pier to greet some of his friends and cronies on the steamer Mei ville. He gave the boat a cordial hail and was answered with as cord is 1 an invitation to "come aboard," which he at once prepared to do, via the upright ladder on the inner line of the dock at the Melville' berth. ' The tidy little tug bad swung pretty well away from the dock line while he was shining down the ladder and as he let go to spring on board, he lamb-d in the cold harbor waters and went out of sight of all mankind for an instant. When he reached the surface there were a doreii kindly hands and half as many ropes at hi ready service, and he was soon aboard and in the engine-room drying his soaked clothing and slowly reduc ing the high-grade chill which possessed him. Eager inquiry as to how he felt was answered by the sole and compre hensive word "wet." He says the lad der broke with him, but the boys say they couldn't find a flaw in the ladJer.H ton In the eour-e of a week, when she will load lumber for European delivery.

FLOTSAM AND JETSAM The British ship Owwncr came down on Sunday on the Okluhama's tow lines and is harbored in Young's Ilay, ready for her voyage to Australia. The Lurline came down at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon and got away on her up-trip at 7 p. m. She was bimy, but could have carried more. The British steamship Kirkh-e car goed for Japan , arrived down from Portland about noon yesterday and went to the lower harbor for anchor age. The Oklahama went back to I'ortlund on Sunday afternoon with the four master schoncr Forest Home and the three-masted schooner Bculah on her bows. " , The steamer Homer got down from Portland Sunday evening and laid at the O. R. 4 N. dock till yesterday morn ing when she went to fie lower harbor for a better chance to cross out if it should offer. The registered tide of 9.2 feet yester day noon was increased by at least ten inches of storm water. The harbor was all swelled up like a hearty Christ mas diner after after a generous tur key dinner. The steamship Senator, of the San Francisco-Portland line, came in yes. terday morning and docked at the O. K. A.N. piers for an hour, and then went on to the metropolis. North bound pas sengers were few this trip. DOING THEIR DUTY L W ATCH I FOR I 8 i nr. s iBIG SALE, I It is credibly reported here that the hip C. F.
