ROANOKE IN FROA SOUTH Life-saving Motor Boat a Succass Bankbum Ready for Sea Steam ship Crusader Reaches Port From Guaymas, Mexico. On Saturday night at about 10 O'clock the fine schooner Alloc Mc Donald, Captain Bender, from San Francisco, after making it In over the Columbia rtver bar under her own canvas, had the bad luck to go aground on the Clatsop Spit sands about mid way between the ocean end of the Jetty and the mainland. She Is still aground, but is In no Immediate dan ger, and the coid weather Is propitious for her so long as it lasts. The life saving crews from Fort Canby and Point Adams went to her assistance at once, but the driving seas made It Impossible for them to reach her at the high stage of water then prevail ing, but th y stood by her for full twenty-four hours. She pounded very heavily on Sunday night and slipped her "shoe" on account of it. the life savers reporting it high and dry ashore yesterday morning. She lies at a point almost identical with that on which the barkentine Arago ground ed and practically on the Grunt sein ing grounds. Captain Stuart f the Canby life saving station was in the city yesterday morning and r ports that his crew and that from Adams made an unsuccessful attempt yes terday morning a pas?; a running line from the McDonald to the bar tug Ta toosh for the purpose of serving a hauling cable, but the sea was too strong for the maneu.. e and it had to be abandoned; but th- effort was re newed at the noon tlood, but was again unsuccessful. However, it is thought all will go well today, and that she will be brought safely back to the channels, and then it is merely a matter of repairing her and loading her outward. Just as the city bells were herald ing the hour of 6 o'clock la t eve ning the fine steamship Roanoke, which crossed in at 4 p. rn., cast her lines on the Callender pier, after a fair trip up from San Pedro, San Francisco and Eureka. She had sev enty people in her saloon, eighteen of whom were billed for this city, to wlt: Edward Field, Mrs. R. Ander son, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Poole, Frank Poole, P.

The other fifty-two went on to Portland with her later In the night, after she had discharged a big grist of local freight here. A group of sea captains were talk ing yesterday morning on one of the city docks, about the grounding of the schooner Alice McDonald, and It was the unanimous opinion that there should be a system of range lights for the lower harbor to aid masters In finding their way to an anchorage after they have entered the harbor un plloted. They claimed If there had been a net of lights on the Washing ton and Oregon shores on Saturday night, the McDonald need not have gone ashore; and that the cost of maintaining such a set of lights would be a mere bagatelle In view of the immense advantage and saving it would be to the owners and captains generally.
