to me thatjtho laly tank. .1 kept tho
bar by me. When I climbed into tho
bolt it was filled iith water, to tho cap"
tain made ns all git "in the bottom so
ihit we wonld bo no weight on tho boat.
The water was then np to onr necks.
Just then Leslie Baker and a little 12
yeiroldboy named Gny Bent ' carre
Hosting over to non a mast that hud
boen lost ont of the life boat. We had
an oar and tho bcatiwnin made another
b' the mat, and with the assistance of
the oar I had caved we managed alter
14 honrs to reach the shore one halt
mile south of Port Orford. We could
not (03 a star, all night, and any
momnt we expected to be pitched on
the rocks. Jaetat the break of day
we saw two islands, and wo felt confi
dent that tho shore was not far away.
Bad '.t not beon for the captain a::d
tho chief officer not one of ns would
hive been saved. The were cool and
deliberate throughout it all,
The following sworn statements were
made before the coroner's jury:
First Officer Brnce Ship struck at
4:10 p. m. on Oct, 19. I was on the
bridge at time of strike. I stopped the
ship. Capt. Mclntryre came on the
bridge right after and called all hands
on deck to lower boats in case it was nee
pessary. Captain took ?charga of the
first boat leaving. The reason be did
so was at my request. I think the
captain did all in bis power to eave the
lives of the crew and paseengers.
John Druscoll, oiler Was on watch
when ship struck. I feft ship strike and
came on deck. It was 20 minutes after
ward before I got permission or orders
to go on deck. I do not know who it
was, but some one Seal led out, "all
bandBontof engine room," Whon I
came up out of engine room two boatB
were lowered and one hanging the davits
turnod over. I left tho ship on a raft.
There wan one raft and one we made
impromptu. Could Jnot tell how (one
after ship sUuch (ill I left htr. Ship
was afloat when we left her and pulled
away as we were afraid of the suction
when eho wnt down. Biionld think it
was one half hour after the strike. t
saw the raft we made after the ehip
went down, nnd sh was to the west
ward of us and wo were close to it one
time. When I caino on deck could see
more than 200 yards, Plnglno v as Btop
ped when we struck and started up
again afterwardr. It was after tho
boat left the ship, the mate ewld. "I
will try and get her in as close to shore
aa 1 can," Shu im.st havo rtin about
fifteen mlu'jteH toward shore. There
was two inon Kwwm from the raft we
made' to tho one wo were La.
Leslio Baker, pautungor When the
ehip Btruch 1 was in my berth. I came
ond'ck inuiiixluiuU. Loft tho ship on

body scorned to have charge. I helped

Tvy"1
one oar And wo tried to pick up nil 1 00
li'io bin. I ld not kno' ilcetiMd,

cnplalu did nil lit- coil hi to save lives.
Ho did no'i (to out Irom Port Oxford to
look for raft for I think ho was worn
ont. Ito was up all nltfht llrtt nlisht

F'rat I paw olhim was when I raw him
in the small boat. I saw auotticr bout

over when wo struck water. When 1
wine up I sot in the boat again. The

when the thin struck. Got down In
engine room 10 minutes later. Was
ro'a"l on a raft when I came on dt-ck.
Do uot know who was in command of
tire "hip. When I came up on d c
the KAti had left the ship nnd we hti'
to work KOttlng rafts rvndy and oyr
bord. Tho matueajd, "Boys, get the
rafts ready ; ah will yt down in a few
momenti." When I came up out of tl-
engine room the bodti wercpoue tnd
only one raft remained ami it would not
hold all the eople. so we had to make
another raft. The steamer did not blow
any whistles after she struck. The cap
tain co'tld not havo stayed lone, aa lie
was gone when I cime np out of the en
gine room. The mate had ship started
and tried to run for the beach.
The coroners jnry'called by E. W. Jen
sen acting enronor, tohold an inquest on
ho body of Chas. E. Ilnson, who di t
Ja the life raft, alter giving their find-
41154 ai to namo of decoased and cause
f death, add Uo following: "We the
indersigncd further find from the evi
lence that Capt. J. B. Mclntrye wat--riminally
negligent in his duties as t
master abandoning the wrecked steamer
oeoro eeeinj: to the safety of the
ja!engers and crew."

Early Closing Assured
Tiie clerks havo succeeded In yettlr k
all tiio merchants to auree lo close their
(stores after Oct. 31 at 0 p. in. txcptin
Saturdays. This is a wieo move on tllio
part of the merchants.
Six o.clock Is a reasonable hour, for
tho majority of working people find on
tho aveniKO, nine hours to bo lon
enough to contribute a day ; why should
not tho clerks? tholr work hlong nnd
tiresomoand is no snap, und why should
thoy not have tlmo for pleasure and oth
or work as well as behind W:e counter
continually?
We aik tho public to look at title mat-
ter iu a uew.lluht and help us make a
.uccessof the uudortiikint; at you all
know that you can all attend to your
husinots before 0 p. m. if you will make
an effort to do so,
Six o'clock closing is an established
custom in all up-to-date towns and there
is no reason why Murahflold should not
bo In lino,
Tho clerku havo worked hnrd to se
cure thii early closing und it is now up
to the merchants to see that this ruling
1b obeervod.
Things may not run as smoothly bb
expee'ed for the first week or two, nnd
it is hoped that tho nioicliuntd may
overlook any small friction that may
creep in at the start.
