"We ran Into a sever southwest torm off Tillamook Head,1' said Cap tain Gruggel, "with which we battled, but were blown northward out of our coarse. The pitching of th lumber and .'pounding of ths waves opened the Oo loma's seams and Christmas morning J found who was leaking badly. I decid ed the only way to save the vessel was to Jettison the deckload, as the pumps -ould make no headway against the wa ter pouring Into the hold. The lumber was loosened and was carried overboard by the seas. "The schooner sank lower and lower, and with the decks awash, the entire ship's -company. Including my wife, the mate, the cook, four seamen and myself, nought refuge In the wheelhouse, where we huddled, momentarily expected the vessel to go down. She was kept afloat, however, or the lumber in the hold. - '-; . Wife Cheers Sailor. . f We were able to get a little canned tuff from- th ralley, but did not get any water.

"We steered and drifted alternately, Tioplng against hope, but. this morning, when wa found ourselves off Shoalwater bay, or what we thought It to be, and being driven landward, we gave our selves up for lost, but the Santa M6- .

The . only living thing aboard was a goat, the pitiful bleating of which we could hear for mint distance after being taken aboard.

Harriman are alarmed at the possibility of failure on the Dart of th congressional committee on claims to. anow even a portion or the remunera tion asked by the railroad king for work done by his road in curbing the Colorado river, where it broke Hs banks and threatened Imperial valley. The claim has been reduced to $1, 083.673.97, but there is no Indication of desire on the part of the legislators to take up the matter, although it mere ly needs authentication to Insure Its payment. President Roosevelt has told congress that he called on Harriman to do the work. Should the committee on claims fall to act soon there Is a possibility that tha claim will fail of passage. i The United States takes almost all of North China's wool, one of the most Important exports from that section of the empire.
