CAFTAIX WIXANT IS DROWNED Caught by a Heary Sea and Swept Orcrboard Crew and rug Pass enger Sared. Portland, Not. 22. The stearntr Bandorille, owned by Edward II. Hab- inhorat. of this citv, became 'disabled while crossing over the Umpqua river bar yesterday morning, and, drifting in to the breakers. stranded on the bar. Her commander, J. J. Winant, was caught by :i eea, swept overboard and drowned No other lives were lost, the crew, nine in number, and one passenger, being rescued by the life-saving crew. The Bandorille left Portland a month ago tor San Francisco and way ; ports, heavily loaded, and was due to arrive back about December 10. From her be ing wrecked at Umpqua, it is evident Captain Winant had been offered con siderable way freight, and was steaming back and forth between Yaquina, Ump qua and Coos bay. Tha steamer pissed in over the Umpqua bar on Tuesday and tied up at Gardiner, a town seven miles above the mouth of the river, the same day. Wednesday afternoon Captain Winant started for eea, but, finding the' bar breaking heavily, abandoned the at tempt and returned to the dock at Gardiner. Yosterday morning, the weather hav ing moderated somewhat, another at tempt was made to put the Bandorille over the bar. although a tremendous sea was running. No bar pilot on the Pacific coast was better fitted for the undertaking than Captain Winant, and he had perfect confidence in the stanchness of hia vee- , t i i i i . ii , eei, ior twice ne nau Btrucs on me -jars of the northwest coast with the Bando rille and got over without the steamer showing a sign of strain or making a drop of water. One instance waa 18 months ago when he took the Bandorille into the Siualaw daring a southwest galo. Right in the middle of the bar the steamer raised on the ciest of a mount ainous sea and dropping into the trough etruck oa the "hog back" with a force I that shattered the glass, in the cabin windows. The next oncoming sea lifted her forward and dropped her again on the bottom. This-was repeated three times, when the lead showed the ship to be in deep water. As Captain Winant expressed it, in relating the incident: "We just walked over the Siuslaw bar." With this confidence in his ship aud his owu ability Captain Winant yester day morning headed the Bandorille into the tumbling seas of the Umpqua bar. Oae lowering wave after another the 6teamer rode in safety and the crew were congratulating themselves that a few moments more would carry them into the safety of the open ocean, when suddenly the wheel waa wrenched from the hands of the quartermaster steering, and before the man could recover the s pokes had spun hardover to uort allow ing the steamer to fall off into the trough of the sea. The starboard rudder chain had parted leaving the Bandorille helpless rolling in the awful muck of the breaking bar. : Sea after sea broke over the doomed steamer aa she drifted toward the line of breakers on the south shore, but Cap tain Wiuaut held to hia post on the bridge and it was tins devotion to duty that cost him his life. Taking every ad vantage of the steamer's drift he kept the engines going ahead or astern in a vain effort to get into deep water. After a half hour of terrible pounding from, the seas, during which Captain Winant waa submerged time and again, the Bandorille struck the beach a half Highest of all in Leavening Power. mile south of "the entrance to the river. - Numbed with cold and exhausted from his efforts in clinging to the bridge, Cap tain Winant descended to the deck to lock after the safely of his crew aud passengers. The breakers wore piling over the steamer in great masses of wat er, and he ordered all hands to the lee, side of the cabin, where at least they would be safe from being washed oveir board. Captain Winant then attempted to make bis way forward that he might see what progress the life-saving crew, who, he knew by this time, had started to the rescue, weie making. Reaching the bend of the pilot-house, the gallant seaman was forced to let go his hold of the lee bulwarks nod leap across the gangway, to grasp the rail fastened to the cabin. In attempting this he slipped on the careened and sea washed deck. Towering over the ship wa3 a foam crested mountain of water in an instant to pour its fearful force on the wreck. That instant was to short for Captain Winant to recover himself, and in the surging flood of thrt breaking eea he was carried overboard. Rescue was impossible'. The lifeboat was a mile to leeward, coming, it is true, but before the heroic crew could reach the wreck the captain of the Bandorille was making his peace with the pilot above.'
