OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, THURSDAY, MAY ' 20. 1920. 11 ' THREE CHILDREN BARELY ESCAPE AS BOAT GOES DOVN Marsh'fiefd, May 20. Three little children and the captain of the boat narj-Qwly escaped drowning before reaching safety Wednesday when the gasoline passenger and freight boat Banshee sank after striking the railroad bridge over Coos bay. . The passengers were Caroline Philip. 13-year-old daughter of former County Commissioner Archie Philip, Lillian Kln nonan, 14. and her little brother, Willie Kinnonan, 12. Harry Walker was running the boat, which makes regular ' trips between Marshf ield and Larson inlet ranches. The boat was loaded 1 with cans of milk. When it came out of the Inlet Into the bay the tide was so swift that the engine could not hold the boat in the channel, and It " was driven with great force against one of the big piers of the rail road bridge. A large hole was broken in the bow and the boat immediately began to sink. v 'Captain Walker called to the children to climb off to the pier. Fortunately, the tide was low and " the children reached Che lower part of the pier, which is covered with water in high tide. Otherwise, they would not have had a chance to save themselves. Captain Walker and the three chil dren remained on the lower part of the pier for nearly two hours, when the launch MessenRer came down from one of the other inlets and picked them up. Most of the-cargo went down. The bridge Is at the point where the upper and lower bay come together, and is not in sight of the coast guard sta ' 'tion. The -Banshee, partially sub merged, was towed to Krusft, & Banks shipyard for repairs. "Lifer" Allowed To Visit Mother; She Gets Well Portsmouth, N. II, May 20.-I. N. S.) Joseph C.
