Columbia River.
Having repeatedly attempted to land for the purpose Of
procuring water but without success they at last entered
Grays Harbor where. upon approaching the shore, thei
boat swamped the breakers and the three be-
longing the OF the Morrison drowned The three
survivors taken by the Indians and conveyed 10 Chin
nook Point, Opposite Fort George.
Here they kindly received and entertained By
Capt Scarborough of the schooner Csdborough,
ing trader To him they stated the facts respecting
oss Of their boat and the drowning of their three
comrades In Grays Hsrbor Soon after this Capt Scar
borough sailed the Straits Of Juan de Fuca and there
stated the to various individuals upon whose au
thority this account ID given.
The statement that the three men drowned belongng 10
the of the Morrison is said TO have been derived from
Mr. Douglass officer in the service Of the Hon. Hud
Bay Company. Other accounts however represent
uncertain whether the three belonged exclusively 10
vessel in part 10 both. In this particular there Is
discrepancy though all concur in The fact that three

This too presen, instance, will be enhanced and
aggravated BY thought that they died in the act Of es
Gaping from duty savage and inhospitao!e shore.
where their bodies driven land instead Of receiving
Christian burial, will probably room become the prey OF
voracious wild beasts.
