Alliance' Close 'Call STRIKES BQTTOM " WHILE GOING OUT Pufs Back to Coos Bay for Repairs and will Go on the . Beach Pr?m Friday's Dally. !lho steatnor Allianco which eailod for Portland Wednoiday oyonlng, returned yesterday in n lonkiug condition front iho effects to striking whllo crossing out over tho bar, Tho steamer started out (1:30 p, in. It was foggy, tho tido waa running out nnd It was nearly low water. Tho bar was supposed to boatnooth,buton ronchingn point hoyond the end of tho jotty, whoro tho bar could bo scou through tint Imro it waa u scovorori to liu ronuli mill broak Ing across tho channel, butit vvus then too Into to turn back. At (his point it Is uecotaary to koop oloso in to the lino ol tho submerged end of tho Jetty, which oxtonds eomo 600 feet boyond' tho oud of tho trostlo work which still stonde. , It waa too thick to distinguish the lino of tho jotty which usually servos as a guido, and the black buoy bolng gono it Was dlfllcnlt to got exact boarings. As tho lino of broakora oxtendod acrosa tho ehannol, thoy woro no guido and it is thought that tho steamer's course waa uida littlo too far to tho north. Tho rosuH wab that sho struck aetorn several tlmeB nnd nt (eaat oneo tho concussion was qulto heavy. Bomo ot tho pasBoug-' e.us uxprots tho opiuioa that the steamer struck ou tho submerged' snd Of thojetty, .

Here a lot cf her.'frelght was taken off; 8ho will be loaded down' by the bead nnd taken to the beauh nrar North Bend, where her item will be placed at far tip on the beach as posilble. It Is not kuowtt how long tho steatnor will be delayed, ' It Is extremely fortunate that the mishap waa not much worso. There were about 00 passengers aboard aud the conditions were all there for the worst dlsatter evoi witnesied at tho bar. ALLIIANCE Q0ES ON BIACH Her Injuries Thought to be Com paratively Slight From Saturday' Dally. Tho Alliance went down the bhy yes terday afternoon to go upon tbo beach at North Bond for examination and re pair of her Injuries. 8ho had been lightened by unloading part of her cargo, and trimmed down by the head by mov ing cargo to the bow and pumping out tho water tanks, Jiy thoao means tho stern was lightened considerably. Tho toilers and engines of the Al'lftnco are so far ft'l that her stern could only bo raleed to a limited rxtcnt by loading down tho how, but it is hoped that iho can now he hauled far enoueh up on tho beach so that hor injuries can bo got at. Captain Ilardwlck thinks that somo of tho oakum was started from tho srams near the sternpost and that this will bo found to bo tho extent of tho dnmrgo. It is evident that no bad leak exists, for tho stream thrown out by tho pumps was comparatively small. In fact, tho leakage would not havo inter feared with tho steamer continuing on hor way to I'ortlanJ but Captain Hard wick did not caro to take the chances on Its getting worse when off eomo part of tho coast where many lives as well as well as liis ship might bo lost. If it is found that tho working out of somo of tho calkins Is tho oxtont of the damage, tho repairs will take but a short tlmo, provided tbo voseel can be beached high enough to get al tho seams.
