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.

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.

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. it is now hopod that North Bend and our othor neighboring towns will follow suit; CLuukh HEARST BOOM REVIVED ". p, A- Williairf R.
