II. Harrison on Iter way from Nehalem for this city. It seems the Swanmore ar rived otf tlie lightship about 3 o’clock Saturday afternoon and finding no tug or pilot stood off to tlie southward, a wind having sprung up from tlie north east. Early Sunday morning tlie wind died away, and tlie Swanmore found lierseif enveloped in a thick fog, and being unable to locate their bearings were completely lost until they were startled to bear a noise that always causes the sailors’ blood to run cold, tlie roaring of the breakers on tlie beach. The anchor was at once dropped and 35 fathoms of chain run out. Here they remained until 8:30, when a light off shore wind sprung up, and tlie ship’s anchor was slipped. They stood direct ly off shore for about eight miles, and the wind again failed them. Again tlie vessel drifted toward the breakers, and their dull, roaring sound was plainly audible, when a second breeze sprung up and tlie Swanmore was headed to- ward the open sea. By tliis time tile fog had lifted and tlie crew of the Swan more could easily distinguish tlie rugged and perpendicular clifl of Cape Falcon. At 3 o’clock they were nearly eight miles off shore, when they were again becalmed, and commenced drifting shore ward. Pilot Thomas Neill, who was on board the Harrison, gives the following particulars of tlie Swanmore’s escape: “ We crossed tlie Nehalem bar at 3 p. in. yesterday and found tlie fog thicker than it bus been outside for a long time past. Immediately after crossing, Cap- lain Schrader saw tlie topmasts of a large vessel looming up above the fog- bank, which entirely shut off from view tlie vessel itself. Captain Schrader head ed the Harrison for the vessel, which proved to be the Swanmore. She was about half a mile outside the breakers and drilling rapidly toward tlie beach. Her starboard anchor and chain were gone and distress signals were flying. Captain Schrader soon had the ship’s steel liawser made fast, and towed tlie imperiled vessel about 14 miles off shore, parting company with her at 11 :30 last night and promising to send a tug out as soon as lie reached tliis port.” When the Harrison arrived at tlie scene of tlie occurrence, the Swanmore'» boats were lowered, the crew’s clothes aboard, and everything ready to leave tlie ship as soon as slie struck. Fortun ately, the weather was calm and a light northeast wind blowing....To these cir cumstances and the Harrison’s timely appearance tlie Swanmore's safety is dne. Captain Schrader, of the Harrison, claims tliat no bargain was made; in fact, there was no time for striking liar- gain». On the other hand, Captain Greenbaum, of the Swanmore, claims that a bargain was made for $900.
