THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, 8ATURDAY BVENINO, OCTOBER 18, t0. WAS NEARLY LOST ON WAY OOT - - i The One Thing That Withstood the San Francisco Fire French Bark La Tour d'Auvergne Report Narrow Escape Off Cap Horn. FRENCH WINDJAMMERS REACH PORT EN MASSE I Bark Europe Arrives Usual Closely Followed by a Quintette of Sailing Vessel La Perueee Among trie Latest Arrivals. The French bark La Tour d' Auvergne arrived up this morning and dropped anchor In the lower harbor, thereby completing one of the roughest voyages ever recorded from Europe to this pert of the world. For weeks the big wind Jammer was at the mercy of the seas, and yards of canvas were torn from her ticks until It was finally feared that she would have to drift about under bare poles liueklly, conditions became more favorable after the veeeel rounded Che Horn, and aba menaced to make her destination without asslstanoe. Many tlmee the seas reared up so terrifically that those on board the Frenchman thought she would crush under their ponderous weight, but she managed to shake them off and emerged without being strained or damaged The cargo consists of about 18,000 bar- role of cement and a lot of general mer chandise brought out from Antwerp. The cement Is owned by Meyer, Wilson and company, to which firm the tner c handles is Uso consigned. , The berk will probably remain in the Stream until Monday, when she will be ehlfted to Columbia .dock No. 1, where the cargo will be discharged. Next week the harbor will be crowded with French cargo vessels, half a dosen having arrived .n the Columbia during the past few days. Among the veasels now at Astoria ready to proceed up the river are the barks Europe snd Le Pe ru SSe, both i of which nave Just arrived there. The Europe crossed in last night and the Le Perueee crossed In shortly before noon today after having played abou" the mouth of the river for a cou ple of days Both bring cement snd miscellaneous freight from Europe. An other French bark crossed in about noon, but her name had not been learned late this afternoon. She is now being brought to the anchorage In the bay by tbe bar tug. A peculiar coincidence In connection with t!.u arrival of the bark Europe Is the fact that when aha put la an appear ance off the river she wes closely fol lowed by five other windjammers. This has har-nened. every time the Eurone haa arrived here and she has been here half a dosen tlmee. Last year about this time she dropped Into the river with five sailing vessels eloee in her wake and so yesterday when It was reported that a big-fleet wes outslds, the water front fraternity naturally put one of the unidentified vessels dews for the Europe. The prediction proved true, for late In the sfternoon the big windjam mer was brought into tbe bay. TO LOAD WHEAT HERB Bark Bayard The Northwestern Warehouse com pany today chartered the French bark Bayard to load wheat at this port for Europe. She Is now on the way to the Columbia river with a cargo of coal Sad general merchandise from Swan sea, having left that port June It. The Bayard should arrive .here during the latter part ef this month so as to be In time for November loading. Other vessels due to arrive here soon are the British ship Oweenee and the French bark Empereur Menelik, both from Ant werp. It wae reported this morning that the BHtlah ship Wanertree left Taleahuano for thle port October S In ballast. HAS DREAMS OF COLD P S wet Bleh Quick. B. B. Debackee, a Frenchman, came to Portland yesterdsy to go to the Klondike to dig gold with both hands.

A millionaire he would be even if It did take him from horns and friends for a few years Debackee arrived here Thursday night on the French bark Jacobean, which arrived from Dunkirk. France, after a tedious and sensational voyage of lit days. He had signed on la the capacity of some sort of a petty officer, and so the trip, while long, was not very ex pensive except for the lose of time. "I go to se Klondike." ssld Mr. De backee. who, by the way. speaks. English only in small chunks, "and dig se gold." From his gestures It was evident that ho Intended to scoop it up In sacks and then return to civilisation to lead a life of luxury, ease and happiness. Mr Debackee is as polite aa the aver age Parisian and soon gained the friend ship of the number of waterfront men who had occasion to visit the ehlp. He will probably decide to remain In Port land in st sad, however, upon leerning that the Klondike rush is a thing of the peat and that good wages can be earned right hers at home.
