For sev eral hours she drifted helplessly and periously near the rocks. The lifeboat, commanded by. Captain Hennig, put out. At this time the Oakland displayed distress signals and once more the tug Ranger went to her assistance, towing her this time into the bay, where she was beached in a badly leaking condi tion. There are several large holes in hr stern. rona. Several attempts have been made to reach the Corona by the Hum boldt bay llfesaving station, buf all were futile.
