A STEAMER STRANDED

the Umpqua Bar.

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-

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.'
Fatal Fire In Chicago.
Chicago, Nov. 22. A. disastrous fire
broke out at Van Buren and Market
streets this morning in a building owned
by Kuh' Nathan & Fisher. Several per
sons' were injured. Nellie Turner and
Kittie Landgraf jumped from a fourth
story windjw and were internally in
jured. 'They wiil probably cie. Harry
Neil jumped from a fomth story, was in
ternally inj-.ired, and may die. The first
and second floors were occupied be Stein
& Beirs, clothing ; the third end fourth
by Henry Newman, clothing; the fifth
by the Amazon Clothing Company ; the
sixth by Follows & Company, collars
and cuffs; the seventh by Townsend &
Gale, clothing and dry goods, and the
National.Thread Company. The build
ing will probably be a total loss. They
cost $150,000 and were insured for $120
003. The totul loss will doubtless reach
half a million dollars.
A few minutes before 1 o'clock the sec
ond and third floors fell, carrying with
them the first, on which Lieutenant Mc
Donald and four fireiren wero working.
They were buried in the basement and
it is believed were killed.
Their names are: Patrick McDonald,
Martin Down, John Prendergast, David
McNally, Martin Sherrick. Kittie Land
graf, who jumped from the fourth story
window, is also dead.
