HOPE FOR NAVAL
TUG IS ABANDONED
VESSEL NOW 43 DAYS OVER.
DUE; HAD CREW
OF 42.
By United News
SAN FRANCISCO, May 18 "Miss-
ing believed lost. '
These three words sufflca to tell
flic probable tragic story of the dis
appearance of the naval tug Cones
toga In the Pacific and the 42 men
who went down to the sea in the
staunch little craft, who have naver
been heard of again.
Iiast vestige of hope for the saf
ety of tho crew was lost when
searchers reported the finding of an
overturned life boat, that had be
longed to tho Conestoga.
Out bomd from San Dieo for
Guam via San Francisco and Hono
lulu the Conestoga was last heard
from when she was some 600 miles
on tho way, battling with a fierce
tropical hurricane.
Since that day, early in April, no
word or sign to indicate tho fato of
the ship has been received. No other
vessel has reported COS calls
feigned "Conestoga."
A fleet of naval craft from the
base at ,1'earl Harbor, aided by a
squadron of seaplanes, searched the
ocean for a radius of 800 miles out
of Hawaii without getting any tan
gible clue to the missing ship,-
Lookouts on freight and passen
ger steamer? running in the south
l.avo not picked up any trace of her.
Tho men of tho crew are said to
be mostly from the eastern coast.
The commanding officer, Lieutenant
E. L. Judson, is believed to have
hailed from Boston, where it is re
ported be lived with his parents
prior to his entry into the navy.
The Conestoga is now forty three
days overdue. At a time of Iter dis
appearance the tug was towing a
barge loaded with naval stores. She
reported that the tow line parted
during the hurricane and that she
was trying to get anothor lino aboard
the barge.
The position of tho lifeboat found
by the Senator was given as latitude
28 degrees, IS minutes north, long!-
, tudo 125 degrees, 37 minutes west.

The Pageant Story
Day by Day
Discovering The Columbia.
In 1787 several Boston merchants
fitted out two small trading vessels,
tho Columbia, under Captain Kobort
Gray, and the Lady Washington under
Captain John Kendrlck, with cargoes
of trinkets, bright colored cloth and
blankets for trade with the Indians,
he ships came around Cape Horn and
up the Pacific coast to a point above
Vancouver island and the winter was
spent there. Their boats passed the
mouth of the Columbia river several
times, but it was not discovered. In
the spring of 1791 Captain Gray
again came to the Pacific coast. The
winter was spent near Vancouver if.-t
land and in May of the next spring
he ran southward. On May 7th, ho dis
covered Gray's harbor; and on May 11
ne sailed into the mouth of a great
river.
In honor of the good ship which had
served him so well, he named It "C
lumbla's river." His boat remained in
the river 10 days while the ship's men
filled the water casks with water;
others tarred and painted th3 ship;
and still others made and repairad
irons.
atanjfc Indians in their bark cancc3
were constantly about the vessel,
eager to trade with the sailors. Thus
in May, 1792, the Columbia river first
became the scene of commerce, con
ducted by civilized men.
Previous to this time, many at
tempts had been made by Spanish an 1
British navigators to discover tho
great western river of which rumors
from the Indians had told them Cap
tain George Vancouver and Caplu'ri
Cook, sailing under the British Hag,
passed the outlet many times without
discovering it. Upon hearing the ncw3
of Captain Gray'B exploit, Captalu
Vancouver sent Lieutenanf MioiirIi
ton to the Columbia river in October
of the same year. He explored it
about 100 miles inland and made light
of Captain Gray's discovery, claim
ing the honors for himself.
English, names were given Mt.
Hood, Mt. Ranier, Mt. St. Helens and
other points of geographical import
ance. Although these names have re
mained unchanged, the world has been
fair in- honoring the captain of the
Columbia and ranks his achievement
as one of the noteworthy events of
the history of the northwest.
