senada Saturday night at 8 o'clock had
a narrow escape from disaster Sunday
near the Coronado islands and arrived
here today 24 hours late. High seas,
breaking the rudder chain and causing
the -rudder to swing around onto the
propeller, caused the accident.
Purser I Moyne, after going ashore
in a lifeboat, walked 15 miles for help.
The Victoria was towed into this port
today by a launch. It was the opinion
long the waterfront that the only thins
that saved the vessel from drifting
away from her light anchor and pound
ing to pieces against the beai h, was
the fact that the hiuh wind, generally
present in that locality, was lacking.1
