Aground on Yaquina Bar

A dispatch dated Newport, Sept.
20, says: The Steamer Ond went
ashore on the middle grounds this
morning. The fog and smoke for sew
eral days has been very thick, and the
steamer was running short of fuel.
The captain, becoming afraid of south
erly weather, tried to get in but
missed the channel. The government
tug has taken her crew of. Water in
the hold was three feet deep. There
is some hopes of getting her off at
high water, as the water is smooth.
The steamer went ashore about 10 A.
NJ. She was inside the bar, but ow-
ing to dense fog that drifted by, she
lost her course with the above results.
Her cargo is of brick and hardware.
She has drifted to the south beach,
and is lying easy. The government
tug has hold of her, and it Is likely
will get her off tonight.
