NARRpTTLY AVOIDED Grain Carrier Crosses Out Bound tot ' Europe but Meets Contrary Winds qd Drifts Back and Into Some Trouble." ',. ' Tha British ship Port Patrick, .which collided with Columbia river lightship No. 60 yesterday, has gone to aea while the lightship, partly disabled, Is' being to-wed Into Astoria for repairs. There la little probability of the Port Patrick returning, and her going to sea la taken to mean that her damages were not of a serious nature. The Port Patrick was seen last night until darkness hid her from view stand ing out to sea under small canvas. Lookout Kelliher at North Head failed to find a trace of her this morning and he believes she is now on her way towards Europe. The lightship is expected to reach Astoria early this afternoon. Captain Peter Olson sent word yesterday to Captain p. J. Werllch, lighthouse In spector of this district, notifying htm that his vessel had been damaged In a collision with the British ship Port Patrick. He remained outside over night, however, and 'this morning the tug Tatoosb. was sent out after him. According to Captain Olson's report tha Fort Patrick was towed out yester day shortly before noon. Pilot Mo Vlckar left her when well oWtside aa the vessel put offshore and to the southwest In a strong southeast wind. Later In the. day she came back In the vicinity oFthe lightship, about six miles off the mouth of the river, and in maneuvering about hit her a glancing blow about midships on the port side. The lightship's bulwarks, covering boards, house And lifeboat were amaahrA and the smokestack, fore try sail and mast were carried away. It was announced this morning that a gas buoy will probably mark the en trance to tne river wnuo uw hiiihihii Is being repaired, or until one . of the relief vessels can be sent to the po sition. . . Captain Stuart and his lifesavlng crew from Cape Disappointment went to the lightship laat night and remained on board over night, bo as. to be on hand in case of anything serious hap pening. .
