The Alliance mad from two and a half to four and a half knots an hour oil her staggering journey up the coast and at last came in contact with the bar tug Tatoosh, an account of whR-h was given at length in these columns yesterday morning. There was no discomfort, nor lack of anything that usually prevail on board ship during the stress she underwent, ami her passengers were simply lavish in thewr praise of Captain Olsen for m pluck, forbearance ami courtesy, and particularly for the masterly manner In which lie handled hi ship during the en tire voyage. He was cool ami collected, and even at the moment of critical peril off the bar at Coos when she shipped the fearful sea that maimed her, maintain ed the poise and quality of an able and conscientious officer, treating everyone with consateration and we forethought 1 in whk-h stout course of action all his officers and men sought to keep pact with the man on the bridge.
