How the Glcnmorag's bell ar
rived at Champoeg auditorium,
and when, remains something of
a mystery. Perhaps those who
dismantled the ship for junk
passed the bell along as a dona
tion to' commenmorate the acti
vity of some steamboat captain
who towed barges of the Glen
morag s iron to Portland for
smelting. Besides its clear, sweet
tone, the tarnished brass bell car
ries an Inscription that Informs
the paserby that the Glenmorag
was built at Glasgow in 1876.

OREGON SEA STORY
Bell of Glenmorag Strikes
Time for Old River Skippers
By BEN MAXWELL
Veteran steamboatmen who annually attend the reunion of
their association at Champoeg hear the brass bell attached to
the ceiling joists strike the bells of the watch. Only a few among
the older of tht veterans know
where that ships bell with Its
marvelous tones came from,
On the afternoon of March 19,
1896, Captain Archibald Currie
of the British ship, Glenmorag
anxiously paced his quarter
deck and cursed the fog that
for two days had hovered about
his ship like a sinister pall
He had sailed from the Peru
vian port of Callao 50 days be
fore with 800 tons of ballast for
the Columbia river. No glimpse
of the sun had allowed him to
get his bearings and he was now
sailing in dangerous waters by
dead reckoning. Once be thought
he heard the distant roar of
breakers. But the fog that
baffled vision also muffled
sound. Then he doubted, but now
he allowed himself to hope that
he was well offshore.
Disaster at 7 Bells
Seven bells sounded for the
afternoon watch. A landsman's
clock would have indicated 3:30
Scarcely had the Glenmorag's
bell ceased to reverberate when
the ship stopped rolling. Follow
ed the sickening sensation of lost
motion as the iron hull of the
Glenmorag plowed deeper Into
those treacherous sands that
shoal the shore off Oysterville.
William Begg, an ordinary sea
man, and others were ordered to
lower a boat and make for the
shore. Before the boat could
clear the ship it was shattered
ngainst the quarter. Two men
were fatally crushed and all
were injured. And how unnec
essary it all was Pegg recalled in
later years. When the tide
ebbed all could have walked
shore, barely wetting their feet.
When Begg recovered from his
Injuries he was placed aboard
the Glenmorag as watchman and
salvagers went about trying to
refloat the stranded ship. Once
they almost had her into deep
water wnen a hawser snapped
and she again drifted upon the
beach. More than $30,000 had
been spent In the attempt to get
her back to sea. That was enough.
R. C. Allen, the British owner
who valued his vesel at $144,000,
sold her for Junk.
Blasted for Salvage
Portland wreckers appeared
with dynamite and proceeded to
blast the Glenmorag apart for the
metal she contained. A British
vice-consul claimed the figure
head, a delicately carved image
of Ceres, Roman goddess of an
abundant harvest. But it was too
large and heavy for easy trans
portation. Begg, who married
the girl who cared for his injur
ies when he first came ashore,
accepted Ocean Park as his home,
and the figurehead of his ship
was passed along to him as his
rightful legacy. For many years
