It Is current that few groundings would ever occur in the Columbia river were not the pilots and officers of. the towboats over worked." It is said that many times pilots on these river tugs have re mained at the wheel for auoh a stretch that they finally fell to tha floor from sheer exhaustion. One Is said to have stood his turn so long that "everything turned black" and he fell in a tranctf only to wake up and-find his tow hard aground '"among the trees" on the river bank, nundreda of 'yards out of the channel. , f The French bark Vlncennea. whloh waa stuck in ths mud Thursday while being towed up from Astoria by the Harvest Queen, got afloat laat night -at 11 o'clock after several hundred tons of hsr cargo had - been lightered on barges, and at noon today aha appeared in the harbor none the worae for her experience, except for the loas of time. In this case, It is said that the captain who acts In dual capacity aa pilot, had taken a nap and detailed the mate to take the. trick at the wheel. It ia said the man runnlnr as mate has no license to do so. but rather than anchor while ths chief rested" he .waa told to Uke the wheel. This mstter will probably be aifted down by the In spectors ahould litigation arise as a re sult of the Incident, which In Itself waa not of a very serious character Next week the government engineers will commence their annual survey of the channel from thla port to tha sea and then it will be known to a cer tainty whether or not these groundings are due to faulty navigation or condl- uona. rne survey wui be made rrom the government steamer Arago, . which returned a few days ago from Coos bay. A party of river pilots will also sound the channel from one of the Port of Portland tenders, so that whatever depth Is obtained ahould prove correct Superintendent Orovea of the Port of Portland dredges saya the channel- has 28 feet of water at present, which means 26 feet at low water. .. The O. R. A N. com D any has charge of the towing of all the deep-sea ves sels that come here, and to reduce ex penses one boat only is kept In commis sion unless It becomes absolutely nec essary to employ another. Therefore It often happens that the boat upon reach ing Portland with a tow, receives or ders to immediately start down with another. This gives ths officers and crew very little rest, the officers, how ever, getting the worst of the deal, be cause of the responsibility resting upon them. Coal Ships Sb Sonte.
