Th steamship Coata Rica entered
this port yesterday moral n early, it
hours behind Iter schedule, from San
Francisco, with a fair Urt of pasaen
Cera and her hold chock-full of
freight. Captain E. W. Maaoa re
ported a severe and serious night of
storm on Tuesday, off Hecata Head,
and which lasted her all th way to
the Columbia bar. He caught the full
benefit of the gale that awept this
coast and waa compelled to hear the
steamship to, for nearly aix hours. In
bringing her about to lay her In the
teeth of the hurricane, his port steer
ing gear gar way, and It took aO the
skill and endurance of First Officer
Johnson and a group of experienced
seamen to make the connections again
In such fashion that they intent be re
lied npon to see the vessel through
the stress and she reached .her dock
here with the Jury-gw they arranged.
She was boarded by a number of fierce
seas, the most of them breaking over
her port quarter and watt aft, flooding
the deck-house and the cabins below
and penetrating to the cargo aft. Her
after railings and stanchions were
smashed badly, all along the port side
nearly to mid -ships, and one of her
big Ufa-boats was sacrificed In the
team In the language of another of
her officers, she "roe Just 160 ' per
cant In his opinion of her as a sea
boat," and all hands, including 'the
passengers, speak In praise not only
of her behavior, but cf the coolness
and adroit seamanship displayed by
her officers and men In all capacities.
The Incident also had Its romantic
feature, since the good little steam
ship bore hither the bride of Purser
Frank Baker of the steamship Aztec;
who arrived here on Sunday from San
Francisco, having been compelled by
h exigencies of his business to leave
his bride of a few hours behind him
In the Bay City. Mr. Baker returned
from Portland on Tuesday night's
train to meet his wife and accompany
her to Portland on the liner and their
re-union yesterday morning at the O.
R. as X. pier, after the safe arrival
of the over-due packet, was not the
least Interesting feature of her dock-'
tog here.
Yesterday the business incident to
the closing of the Galena matter in
this port, was 'concluded. The crew
was paid oft. th men who had stood
by the ship and her master receiving
their full wagea, and the eighteen who
had refused to do the work of dis
mantling, being mulcted In the sum of
fines Imposed by the court of Inquiry
lately In session her, plus the pay
ing of their own board bills front the
date of such refusal to go to work.
Eight of the men are going ts aban
don the sea and take up with land
service, and made the necessary ar
rangements through th government
agents at this port to this end, yeter-
dy. One of the men, RUey, an A. IV.
has been missing from the city for
several dayv and it la rumored that
he has shipped oa board the schooner
Irene tor her voyage to San Pedro.
The captain of the Galea, will stay
by his vessel until the weather mod
rates and final decision Is reached by
her owners as to her future.
The officers of the steamer Telegraph
on her arrival here yesterday, depre
cated the statements of the Astoria
press that she waa about to be hauled
off the run, declaring the rumor to be
without any color of truth, and that
the boat will continue on the line
straight through the year. Well all
bands are glad to hear H. for ah and
her officers are popular In Astoria.
and the rumor aforesaid Is her and
now denied In tote.
An order was received at the office
of the Collector of Customs in this
city yesterday, mitigating the fine of
1104 heretofore imposed upon the mas
ter of the steamship Artec for failing
to report his ship in. on her prevtnn
voyage to the port, to the sum of US,
and the same has been duty settled.
Some steamer, no one can find out
t which It was, yesterday landed a
big load of dynamite at the O. R.
N. pier, destined for McOowan's, on
the north shore, where It will be used
In clearing the right of way of the

flora co. it will be trans-shipped on
the motor-boat Betty this morning,
The schooner Virginia arrived down
yesterday morning from Portland on
the hawsers of the Oklahoma, and Is
