Some ?ood Work by the Life Savins Service- (Spec;a! eoirespondenceoITmiAsTOiuAXw IiiWaco, Dee. 5th. The Oysterville mail stage brought in word this morning that there was a large three-masted schooner aBhore on the beach about two miles above the turn off from the beach to the Oysterville wagon road. The weath er was cold and stormy, ana the re port that there were several men clingiujr to the vessel's rigging aroused our people to the rescue. All telephone connections were cut off and the quickest way to carry the alarm to the Cape life crew was by the steamer Canby, just in. Her captain put about and ran down to the Fort, and soon had the crew aboard, with their beach wagon and apparatus. It was 12:15 when the news reached tho Cape, and at 1:10 the crew left Il waco, with the apparatus in tow of the mail stage, with two other teams to help carry the crew and others. IT WAS IXAKD GOIN'Cl Owiug to high tides and numerous gates to be opened on the prairie roads, but we got there in four hours. distance twenty-two miles, to find that the orlh Cove life crew had ar rived about 3 r. m., had succeeded admirably in sending their shot line over the vessel, had rigged their life line, three hundred ynrds long, and rescued seven men from tho rigging. The Cape crew joined in and helped hanl in tho other two men. The cap tain was the last man to leave tho ship, and brought with him a sex tant With tho exception of the male who saved a camphor wood client and a bag of clothing, there were no per sonal effects saved. A large the on the beach gave warmth to the wet and chilled crew, and most all tho population of Oysterville wero on hand to help. It was cold and bleak and gloomy, but there was great re joicing over tho life crews' work. Just as darkness set in all weuded thpir way to Oysterville, about threo miles away, where everybody was made comfortable and dry. A DETAILED ACCOUT. OrsTr.r.viijiiE, Dec. 0. Tho wrecked vessel is tho barken tine Grace Roberts, Capt M. Larsen. She left San Francisco Nov. 29; was off Shoalwater bay bar on Saturday afternoon; low wator and breaking heavy; stood off and experienced very heavy weather; barometer fell to 29.10 on Sunday; weather thick: breaking heavy in twenty fathoms of water; in endeavoring to tack under short sail tho breakers took charge and carried her in shore, where she struck, about six miles south of Shoalwater bay. New sails blew out of her and noth ing could bo done to save tho ship. During Snnday evening they re mained in the cabin until midnight, when they wero FOBCED TO TAKE TO THE KIGGIKO, Where they remained until the after noon. Tho Grace Roberts is twenty years old and owned by S. P. Peterson, of San Francisco, and others, and partly insured. Her cargo consisted of 20 tons of hay and 20 tons rol merchan dise, consigned to A. M. Simpson, South Bend, on which there is no in surance. Both life crews remained in Oyster ville over night and depart early this morning for their stations. Captain John Brown has the honor of saving, with his crew's assistance, the lives of nine men. Capt Al. Harris has the honor of making a noble ef fort to accomplish as much, but dis tance prevented. This morning the crow constructed a raft ont of the spanker boom nnd other spars and endeavored to reach shore, but tho tide swept the raft out to sea; so that plan was abandoned. There will be very little saved from the vessel. Your correspondent will gat through to Astoria this afternoon. (Capt. Al. Harris, tho crew from the Cape, and the rescued officers nnd crew of the wrecked vessel arrived at Cape Hancock yesterday afternoon.) Complaints of Sailors In Portland. Sailors in Portland aro making bit ter complaints about the manner in which they claim to be fleeced by the lodging-house keepers there. The man alleges that the lodging house keepers get their boarders drunk as soon as possible, and while in that condition lend them money and obtain their signatures to ac knowledgements of indebtedness. In this manner tho men are made prac tically the slaves of the boarding house keepers, who then compel them to ship on whatever vessel pays the highest rale to crow shippers. Alia, 3.
