though the other world and this are

Two Men Drowned

From the As'orian we take the fol-
lowing particulars concerning the
drowning of two men down the river ::
"I.ast Thursday evening, between 5
and 6 o'clock a fishing boat left Astoria
for Chinook, carrying six persons--
Messrs Fred. Woolham, Of this city.
Henry Pierce, William Devins. Joseph
Bertrand, Col. II. K. Stevens and
Fowles. They had proceeded about
halt way across the bay when the
weather began 70 be pretty rough, and
the sail slipped out Of the hand of Fow.
les, who was steering the boat, and in
getting the sails bacl: again, through
bad steering, the boat capsized. A
woman saw tie boat from the territory
shore and gave the alarm, when Eben
Petit manned boat and immediately
started fur the rescue Of the party. but
the wind was then BLOWN. a gale and
the tide was again>t them, SO that it
was nearly three hours before the un-
fortunate men were reached. Fowles
drowned i'll a few minutes after the boa,
upset and Mr.. Stevens hung on for
an hour, then he WAS drowned. T!is

aud Bertrand in-ing to the boat still

condition when they were picked up
and taken to Chinook. Mr. Woodhau
returned to Astoria on Sunday. From
a letter VIC received from Mr.. Bertrand
we gam the principal points of their res
cue. Mr.. Bertrand says that Fowlcs
was intoxicated and would not let one
of the sober men Of the party toutch
