That Opium Smugsler.

Concerning the reported appear.
ance of an opium smuggling vessel
at Yaquina, the Newport Ne5Ds says
In the last issue of this journal ap.
peared an item concerning a strange
craft, which had lately come into the
bay, and which was supposed by
many to be a smuggler. This opin,
ion is still entertained by q consider.
able number, while others scout al
the idea. The owner of the craft, who
gives his name as Duncan O'Donald,
returned from up the bay a few days
ago and called at the Neaos office,
and stoutly denies being connected
in any way with smuggling. In an
swer to questions he gave the
incidents of his trip as fol-
lows: His boat, which q sloop q
feet in length was purchased in the
Columbia river, where he fitted her
up and laid in a stock of provisions
with the intention of going to Alaska.
He then had partner, but owing to
the unusual roughweather they waited
for five weeks and made several
Intellectual attempts before he could
get over the bar. In the meantime
his partner thinking it too risky, de-
clined to go on so long trip. After
his partner left ODonald changed his
opinion about going to Alaska and de-
cided to sail for Gray's Harbor and
prospect for coal After finally get
ting clear of the Columbia river, he
sailed north, but was unable to enter
Gray's harbor and again changed his
course for Nehalem river, expecting
to prospect for coal on that stream,
but when the mouth of the river was
reached he was also unable to enter
there, and so continued his course
southwark and finally brought up at
this place. He is still here and is
quite anxious to sell his boat, which
is indeed a fine staunch little craft
and is offered for $500. He says he
is miner by profession and owns a
claim in Shasta county, Cal, where
he now wishes to go for the purpose
OF doing assessment work.
