TEE STEAMER ALLIANCE.
Bun Down by The Steamer Danube.
Sank Near Sanvie's Island Monday Night.
The steamer Lurline arrived yes
terday morning with the passengers
of the steamer Alliance, and bringing
the startling news that that steamer
had been run into by the Danube at
nine o'clock the previous evening near
Postoffico bar.
Following is from yesterday's Ore
gonian: The steamer Alliance, owned by
the Portland & Coast Steamship
company, is high and dry on
the south end of Sauvie's Isl
and. There is a hole eight feet
long, four feet wide and six feet deep
in her starboard bow, the result of a
collision with the steamer Danube,
en route from Victoria, which oc
curred a quarter of a milo from the
breakwater of Willamette slough,
about 9 o'clock Monday night The
Alliance immediately began to fill
and sink, and was beached just in
time. The Danube was slightly dam
aged. The' Alliance, Captain Peterson in
command, sailed for Gray's harbor
with twenty-one passengers and a car
go of freight at eight o'clock that
evening.
At the time tho collision occurred
the Danube, the Alliance, and the
river Bteamers R. R. Thompson and
Lurline were all within a radius of
about 400 feet The Thompson had
just whistled and passed the Alliance,
and the Lurline was near by. Cap
tain Petersen was on the bridge of
the Alliance. Captain L. A. Bailey,
who was on board, says:
"After tho Thompson had passed us
I heard two whistles which I thought
were blown by her, so I left my room
abaft the pilot house, and reaching tho
deck, walked over to the starboard
side to ascertain the cause.
"I saw the red light of the Danube
not 100 feet ahead. The Alliance
was pursuing a northerly course in
bunch at one time."
the channel and the Danube was com
ing toward her at an angle of about
forty-five degrees. I do not know
whether the Alliance and Danube ex
changed Bignals.
"When it was seen that a collision
was inevitable the officers in charge of
the vessels gave orders to back, nnd
the steamers were backing when they
struck. I think the collision was
caused by a misunderstanding of the
signals, so many vessels being in a
Pilot Granville Reed who. had
charge of Jhe Danube at the time of
the collision said he would rather sub
mit his report to the inspectors of
hulls nnd boilers before saying any
thing on the subject, but afterward
made the following statement:
"The collision occurred about 855
o'clock, just as we were crossing what
is known to river captains as Post
office bar, in the Willamette river.
We were on our way up the river at
tho time meMioned, when suddenly I
saw several boats ahead. One boat
the nearest, showed a red light I
was getting ready to blow my whistle,
when the steamer, showing the red
light, blew one whistle; that I immed
iately answered with one whistle, at
the same time giving on order to port
our wheel."
"We ran along on our selected
courses for a space of time covering
probably two minutes, when the river
steamer R. R. Thompson, which
was one of the boats approaching,
blew two whistles, when the Alliance
also blew two whistles. I did not au
swer either of these whistles, for 1
did not know but what the Thompson
was signalling to pass the Alliance
and tho Alliance answering the
Thompson's whistles. The Alliance,
on blowing the last whistles immedi
ately showed me her green light, but
too late for me to starboard my nelm.
I gave orders to stop, and commenced
to back at full speed, when the col
lision occurred.
"We struck the Alliance abreast of
her foremast, cutting a deep hole in
her. She would have sunk if sho had
kept in the stream, but sho was
beached immediately. 1 backed ngnt
away from her and lowered my boats.
whioh I sent alongside of the Alliance
to take on her passengers, but the
Lurline, which it seems was coming
down tho river behind the Thompson,
arrived about the same time and took
off all the passengers, with the ex
ception of captain Uailejr and three
others, and proceeded on her way to
Astoria. Captain Bailey and the
three other gentlemen came aboard
the Danube, and wo brought them up
to this city with us.
"If the Alliance had kept on tho
course she first selected, the accident
would not have happened- Fortu
nately, no one was hurt, and the
Danube escaped with but one of her
bow plates broken."
Captain John Hill, of tho steamer
Danube, who overheard tho story
told by pilot Reed, was asked to give
his version of how the accident oc
curred. He said:
"You have Mr. Reed's story. He
has told you just how the accident
occurred and mine would only bo a
repetition of his: I corroborate him
in every particular.
The Alliance was built in this city
about five years ago, being origi
nally known as the Emma Hume,
and costing between 830,000 and
835,000. She will be raised and
repaired at once.

Thosa Prominent Physicians Astound the
Medical World of The Northwest, by
Their Wonderful Cures.
Two years" ago, the Drs. Darrin
visited Portland as strangers: In
that space of time they have effected
so many wonderful cures that their
name is known in every household on
the coast Their cures and operations
are so quick and miraculous that
some physicians of good standing
have even been willing to take their
oaths that they were impossible. Now,
the Doctors have had, scores of cases
from this vicinity and' throughout tho
whole northwest, that prove the truth
of their wonderful cures.
They submit the following card,
which can be referred to; and could
fill this page with home cures, it we
could spare the space:
