DAYS OFF MOUTH
'BY LACK OF PILOT
Captain "H. '& . Lund of the
SchfJDner Gamble Criticises
Failure to Provide Facilitfes.
MONETARY LOSS IS HEAVY
Port, Otherwise Says Visiting
Captain, Is as Good as Any in
the World." i . 'b
Portland Is hot only - as good a port
as any on the Pacific coast. It is as
good as any in the world. But when a
vessel Is delayed 2 J days trying to get
into the port because of inadequate
piloting facilities, it leaves a bad taste
in the captain's mouth. :
ffef the schooner Gamble, now in the
harbor unloading a cargo of 750 tons
of copra consigned to A. O. Andersen
A Co. She is at the Fifteenth street
municipal terminal. Tne copra was
brought from the Tonga islands.
The Gamble actually suffered the loss
of 22 solid days in trying to enter the
mouth of the river. And after she
finally got in she was two days towing
tip the river. An idea of how costly this
delay was can be gained from Captain
Lund's statement that if a tug had been
dispatched at & rate of $2000 to pick
him up the first day of arrival off the
mouth of the river he would have been
11000 ahead of the bargain.
Other Expenses Filed Us
Added to tha expense of the delay,
the Gamble lost three sails and suffered
other damage to her rigging during the
time she was beating back and forth
elf the river during the 22 days.
The Gamble arrived off the river on
January 27 after a rub. of little over 60
days from the Tonga islands, and nro-
eeeded to within three miles of .shore
in order to attract the attention of the
pilots. None showed up, so she had to
put back to sea. On five occasions dur
ing the remainder of the time the
Gamble came to within three to six
miles of shore, seeking pilot assistance,
and each time was compelled to put back
to avoid danger of going ashore. At
different times she was caught in bad
blows or . was becalmed. On one occa
sion it was so calm that the sails were
lowered and she wallowed in the trous-h
of the sea for a lenghty period, unable
to do anything. On another occasion
a severe blow damaged the rigging and
caused tne loss or tne three sails.
Heard Korth Head Breakers
Captain Lund says that nearly every
time he came inshore he sighted the port
tug oneonta. on. one occasion he was so
close in, he said, that could hear the
breakers. This was a time when he
went nearly within hailing distance of
North Head.
"I saw them towing In the barkentlne
James Tuft,? said Captain Lund, "but
they said they could not see me, though
they had been on the lookout for some
days. I'll admit that some days it was
SHIP
rao

rather hard' to - see ; on account of bad
weather, but then there, were some
mighty clear daysv - . - -
The Gamble finally was sighted and
towed in, arriving at Astoria February
18. two days after the Tuft had been
towed In. The Tuft also brought a cargo
of copra for Portland and to unloading
at the Fifteenth . street 3 munlcinal
terminal... . '
PQetlag faculties Biased 4
"We were towed In by the tux On-
eonta, said Captain Lund, "and after
taking us up the river a ways she met
an outgoing steamer. She then turned
us over to the tug John McCracken and (street and Sandy boulevard. Mrs. Sole
accompanied the steamer. Z learned that berg was waiting for a street car. As
the Oneonta, had to place a pilot aboard, ehe stepped from the curb the machine
the steamer and then accompany the ' struck her. Ir. W. L LaJdlaw attended

Cracken explained that he was out of
fuel oil.. He proceeded to Portland for
a new supply- and returned - the next
morning f or ua. , We were exactly two
days on the-way up
Captain Lund blames Inadequate pilot
ing facilities entirely as the cause of
the delay. .
The system In use now is rotten."
said Captain Lund frankly. "A pilot
schooner should be kept on duty outside
all the time. Tou can't expect t give
good service with one tug and that jict
M.!l0t and tug at the same
ume. The other port tug is tied up at
Astoria, I understand.-
Captain Is fort Booster
Captain Bund declares it is a shame
that adequate service Is not maintained
especially now. for since the mouth of
the river has been dredged the old han
dicap of vessels having to wait for a
favorable opportunity to enter ls en
tirely eliminated.
Aside from the bad taste in his mouth
as a result of the delay, Captain Lund
s a booster for Portland and the Co
lumbia river, although he has not been
here often In recent years. His last
voyage here was in 1907. He knows
what conditions were then and Is able
to compare them with present condi
tions. T understand now that there is more
water at the mouth of the Columbia
river than at San Francisco," he said.
"Portland, without any exaggeration, is
as good a port as any in the world. X
would Just as soon bring a shipment
into this port as any. with the im
provements It isn't like the olden daya
Pilot Tag Held In. Seserve
"Tou can sail In any time except
when you're not delayed by the pilots.
Future? Why, this port , has a great
future before it If you give service
there ls no need to worry. Despite the
pilot trouble I believe you can count me
as a oooster right now.
Since the pilot schooner Joseph Pu
litzer was taken off the station at the
mouth of the river, the port has relied
on the tugs Oneonta and Wallula to
meet incoming and outgoing vessels and
transport the pilots. On the ground that
business a present does not warrant
the operation of both tugs, the Wallula
was laid up several months ago but has
been held in reserve at moorings at As
toria. The Pulttser was recently loaned
to the city to operate in the fishing
trade off the Oregon coast and ls now
on that duty. Provision was made that
if she were needed she was to be re
turned within 10 days to the port com
mission. The tug John McCracken,
mentioned by Captain Lund, is one of
the dredga tenders but is used for tow
ing in emergency cases.
