Deckload of Lumber VVashed
Away Bar Tug Unable to
Face the Storm. -
Presumably . with her machinery or -at
ee ting gear disabled, a two-masted
schooner Is riding out a fearful aea a
mile from the rocks upon which Is lo
cated the North Head lighthouse.
Her anchors dragged as tha flood
tide, aslsted by tha tremendous waves
rolling In from the sea, toased ber about
Ilka a mere shell and frequently broke
completely over her. Her ensign Is dis
played upside . down, denoting distress, ;
but the bar tugs have been unable to go
to ber assistance because of the bolster -ous
condition of the bar.
A mass of foam extends as far as the
eyo can eee, and the bar tug that stood'
out In response to a eall from North ,
Head was forced to return to abetter
and await aa abatement of tha storm,
ill l-ang of Wreck. f
The vessel is In grave danger of going
ashore, even though a late report thia
afternoon states that her anchors now
seem to be holding because of the high
tide. Early this morning it was thought .
that nothing could save her, aa the wind
was constantly bringing her closer to
the spit. . .
The deckload of ' lumber has been
washed overboard and the sails that had
been spread In bopes of keeping ber off
the beach have blown away
The vessel waa first discovered by
Julius' C Hayden, lookout - for the
weather bureau at North Head. Ha aaw
her dangerously close to the - rocks as
daylight, broke, and Immediately sent
word to the weather bureau here, and
also notified Astoria. He was unable
to make out the Identity of the schoon
er because of the rain and mist, al
though the word "San Francisco" waa
visible on the atern-plate. All of the
steam schooners plying out of this port
ball from San Francisco, and for that
reason the name of the home port la
of little significance.

that thus those on board can be saved
should the anohora give way and tha
schooner pile up on the beach.
A small steamer stood by tha disabled
veaael all morning but waa unable to
approach close enough to get a lino
aboard and ao finally proceeded north.
Possibly tha vessel is one bound from "
