Mine Story of a SMpwrectm
The Blaci Sea,
MEN PEOZEH AT TfTF.TR POSTS.
Only Pour On . of a Grew of Twenty-
Pive Survive the Vessel's
Decks Burst Open.
Special br The Uxitkd Paas&M
PmiiADEiirinA, Dec. 11. There
reached this city yesterday through a
private channel, a thrilling story ot
the loss of. the British ship West
bourne in the Black sea. It is no
ordinary tale of shipwreck, but
relates extreme sufferings, and unus
ual and extraordinary misfortunes of
the vessel's crew. Of twenty-livo men,
four are all that survive the ill starred
voyage and the four are miserable
wrecks of humanity, lying prostrated
by snfleriug in the Odessa hospital,
under care of the British consul.
The Westbournc. an ordinary
inmip
steamship, left Thcodosia,
winch is the ancient name ot daliu, in
the south east of Crimea, Nov. 21,
laden with linseed bound to Dnnkerk,
thence to Philadelphia with a general
cargo.
On the eve of her departure a gale
peculiar to the Black sea alone arose
accompanied by a rapidly falling ther
mometer. Tho weather grew so in
tensely cold that men were frozeu to
death in a life-like posture, at the
wheel, or wherever their duties called
them.
Everj- sea that swept over tho vessel
frozo to her, making her sluggi3li and
so heavy that she refused to ride the
waves and became; unmanageable.
When water gained an entrance to the
hold the cargo begau to swell and
burst open the decks foro and aft as
though powder had exploded in her.
About midnight, although but a few
no. down. Almnhv tho enrnse.t of
number of the seamen were visible
about the deck standing up against
the hand rails just as erect as though
in full vigor. They were frozen hard
as iron.
With. all the crew that still holdfast
to their Kvc3 Captain Bennington put
out in a small boat and headed back
to Theodosia, distant then some 50
miles. During the early morning the
men died oft one by one until on
reaching Theodosia the following
night, the number had been reduced
to eighE. Subsequently four men died
while undergoing medical .treatment,
leaving but four survivore.
Captain Bennington, the command
er of the West bourne is well known
to Philadelphia shipping men. He is
completely prostrated by his suffer
ings in the open boat and by the
death of his brother, tho ship's chief
officer, who perished of the awful cold
before his eyes.
MARINE NEWS AND N.0TKS.
The British ship Iron Cross came
down from Portland yesterday and
will complete cargo here. ,
It is probable that the Harvest
Queen will bo put on as a night boat
some time in the near future.
Tho British bark Parthia, yester
day received tho balance of her cargo
of lionr, and -will soon be ready to de
part The steamer Cosmqpolts i3 due
here this evening from the Sound, on
her way to Portland with a cargo of
coal.
The British ship Cabul , 1697 tons,
from ATarila, and the British ship
lirunnelU 1637 tons, from San Diego,
are added to the list of vessels on tho
way to the Columbia river. This raises
the tonnage to 51,075.
The steamer Geueral Canby broke
a craank pin on the trip to Hwaco
yesterday and wa3 towed back to this
city by the steamer Geo. U. Mendell.
The steamer Suomi will take the
Canbtfs place while repairs on tho
latter arc being made.
The lighthouse tender, the steamer
Manzanita, Capt. Bichardson, which
returned frpm Gray's Harbor and
Shoalwater bay on Wednesday even
ing, unloaded some old buoys at tho
buoy depot yesterday. This morning
she starts up tho river for Portland,
but will probably be two days on tho
way, as supplies will bo distributed
among the forty stake light stations
along tho river. In Portland new car
pets and furnituro will probably bo
received, and then the steamer will re
turn to thi3 city.
In regard to the now and fast
steamer now being built in Portland
for service on the Sound, tho Uregon
ian says that the work on tho Victor
ian is being pushed forward as rap
idly as possible, though it will yet bo
two or three months before sho is ready
for her trial trip. Sho is lying at tho
Willamette Iron works' dock, where
her machinery is being put into place.
The boilers, bedplates, condensers and
housings of tho engine aro already set
and there is yet to be put in the cylin
ders, shafts, crank shafts and steam
pipes. One cylinder is now aboard
and tho other twq are lying on the
dock. The machinery is of the most
massive description, being about the
size of that of the ocean steamers ply
ing between hero and San Francisco.
Tho propeller, which is twelve feet in
diameter, will make two revolutions
per second, and when her very narrow
beam is considered, there is every rea
'son to believe that she will show re
markablo speed. The woodwork is
being put in as rapidly as possible
and will be completed as soon as the
machinery is in place.

Washington, Dee. 11. Airs. Moss,
who was murdered at Port Angeles,
Wash., a few days ago, was well known
in Washington, though not as Mrs.
Moss. Her life was one of evil,
though through it all sho possessed
ability that made her what sho was;
and finally resulted in her being
killed.
Her namo was Betty Steward, and
her father was a respectable citizen
of Norfolk, but bad stories were told
about her mother, and when she was
big enough Betty entered on a life of
shame, bhe was a pretty girl, with
splendid blondo hair and grey eyes,
which, when sho was young, were as
bright as stare.
At one time she took to tho theatri
cal profession and graced the variety
stage for several seasons, her stage
namo being Spray Arlington. Once
while sho was in bathing with a gay
party a jealous lover cut a long gash
in her left cheek with a pocket knife.
About three 'years ago Betty met
Charles A.Alossra young Washing
tonian of some means. They became
infatuated with "each other and to
gether came to Washington to live.
Betty became an inmate of a house
here and was known as "Carrie Tomp
kins." She lived there some time
when her lover decided to engage in
business out west. Ho invested his
capital in a mill stock about three
miles, out o Port Angeles, Washing
ton. He built up a profitable busi
ness and his mistress became a model
of constancy. Two weeks ago Mr:
Moss decided to come to Washington.
He came back the latter part of last
week and last night ho received a tel
egram announcing tho death of his
wife, as the Washington state author
ities supposed her to be.

The Safe Wrecked, But ffo "Boodle"
Obtained the Pire Depart
ment Called On.
The "safe blowers" that have oper
ated so extensively in the South Bend
country have evidently returned to
this city, for early this morning one
of the most dastardly and desperate
attempts at safe robbing that ever
happened in th3 city occurred in
Parker & Hanson's store. .
About 2:20 o clock a loud explosion
occurred. The noise came from Sec
ond street and an excited individual
turned in a fire alarm. There was no
occasion for the alarm, but there was
for detectives.
Chief of Police Barry was on the
scene almost simultaneously -with The
Astoiuan reporter. He found that
the doors of the safe in the office of
the firm, which is at least 100 feet from
the front entrance on Second street,
had been blown off.
Investigation by the officers "dis
closed that the burglars had scuttled
up through the floor and charged the
safe with gunpowder. Tho shot they
placed in over the combination was a
very heavy one, for the safe doors
were not only blown off their hinges,
but the lock and combination also
were broken, and the safe doora were
thrown clear across the office, a dis
tance of several feet. The walls of
the office were bulged out and the
glass blown out of tho window, while
the door was blown off its hinges.
When Chief of Police Barry over
hauled the debris he found that the
money compartment of the safe was
intact, but that books and papers to a
large extent, together with the outer
safe doors had been scattered about
tho room. The outer doors showed
the drill holes made by the thieves
and the thoroughness of tho work.
Tho intention of the men was to break
the safe, but they were evidently ama
teurs for the simple reason that they
overcharged the safe and made an ex
plosion that alarmed the entire city
and called out the fire department.
As stated, the work was evidently
done by tho men who have been oper
ating across the river and who have
been with one or two exceptions very
successful.
Chief Barry knows the men referred
to and the chances are that the crim
inals will be behind the bars within
the next twenty-four hours.
The firemen who first entered the
store were almost overcome by the
fumes of the powder, which filled the
building from one end to the other.
Officer Beasley sustained a severe
injury to hi3 right arm, in trying to
get into the store through the glass
front door. Dr. Estes dressed his
arm and removed the glas3 splinter.
Upon further examination by Offi
cer Kirby burglars' tools were found
near a scaffolding which had been put
up at the side of the building. While
there a Chinaman informed the officer
that he saw two men running away
from the building immediately after
the explosion.
The till in the counter was rifled of
S15 or 16 and little small change to
the amount five or six dollars. The
thieves in their haste left two coats
and some other articles behind that
may assist in their apprehension.
Tho latest investigation showed
that the men probably got into the
store first and then cut the hole in
the floor for convenient escape, but as
the heavy doors were blown across
tho hole, they went out of the win
dow without stopping to plunder the
safe, which represents the principal
damage.
