NEW YOKK. June Hi. The steam'
er-William O'Brien was today rev
vealed as one of the four American
vessels that have mysteriously disap
peared during the last several months.
This vessel started on a trip two
months ago when tho captain had a
dispute with the engineer, put hue!:
to port and got a new engineer.
The ship then sailed and has never
been, heard of since.
The grim side ot the story was re
vealed by tho department of com
merce, which announced today that
several bodies have been washed
ashoro noar Cape Hattcras, and that
the bodies may bo thoso of members
of the crews of the missing ships.

WASHINGTON, Juno 21 Four de
partments' of tho federal government
today took up tho search for three
nursing 'American ships.
"Crews' whereabouts never report
ed."
The mystery of tho disappearance
of tho vessels was the more tcin
tnllzlng because it all happened a
.short distance from Washington
off? Cape Hatteras. On a calm sftt
spd in clear weather the ships dis
appeared, their crews going with
them.
A fourth ship, a schooner, ran
ashoro in the vicinity of tho cape,
all sails set, her cargo untouched.
A lorio squawllng parrot was aboard
the schooner.
The parrot and a bottle containing
a hastily scribbled note were the
sole relics of the schooner the

HIGHWAY ENGINEERS TO SOLVE
DIFFICULT PROBLEM WITH
DEEP CUT.
Cape Horn, the last barrier on the
Columbia Hiver highway, between Pen
dleton and Par land, is proving one of
tho toughest engineering nuts the
state highway department has had to
crack In tho construction of the cntiic
distance of the highway from Pendle
ton to Astoria, ("ape Horn stands high
over the highway, about 10 miles cast
of The Dalles. 1
Tho tracks of the O.AV. H. k. N. com
pany run directly parallel with thr
highway at this point, thus making
blasting operations exceedingly dan
gerous. Highway engineers first want
ed to make a cut through tho niottii
tain, through which the highway
would pass. To make such a cut, how
ever, considerable blasting would bo
necessary and the railroad company
protested against this method of pro
cedure.
'It was then decided to construct a
tunnel beneath the cape at this point.
A tunnel shaft was started, but it was
soon found that the rock was not solid
enough to pcimit tunneling. Another
tunnel, at another spot on tho moun
tain, was started, with the same in
sults. And finally, after seeing that It wa-
Impossible, tho railroad company has
givon permission to the highway en
gineers to make a cut instead of tun
neling, according to Jay E. Peck, en
gineer in charge of the work.
Workmen arc now engaged In the
construction of this cut, which will be
approximately 1G0 feet deep. Several
large blasts havo already been set off,
hut oxtrcmo caution has been taken
and no damage has thus far been
done.
It is anticipated that at least an
other month will bo required to com
plete the cut sufficiently to permit
travel.
