The Fort Cord on.

We learn the following from gentle
man who was on the Sea Lion when
word was received by Capt Randall, at
Neah Bay: The Port Gordon left the
Tail of the Bank, Scotland, for Tacoma,
| Nov 3rd, 1858, loaded with railroad iron,
cement aud general merchandise. When
| the vessel struck on the morning OF the
nth of February, and when the men
reached the shore, first officer Smith sent
an Indian chief named Capt. Webb with
letter to Neah Bay, asking for assist
ance from the revenue cutter WOolcott,
but. as the wire was down between that
point and Port Townsend, it would not
have been possible to communicate with
the officers OF that vessel, and have them
reach the wreck in less than tnenty-four
hours. The Sea Lion was at Neah Bay,
however and was expecting the arrival
Of the Port Gordon The tug then started
for the relief of the men She was not
signalied by any of the officers or crew of
the Gordon, but from Neah Bay, where
word WIS brought By CAPT. Webb, who
walked, barefooted, thirty-five miles
from Quilente reservation, leaving there
Monday morning, and arriving at \ ah
Bay Tuesday at P. NJ. The Sea Lion
left at , - p. u, and made the run to
the reservation, 81 miles, in three hours.
On reaching there, small boat was sent |
towards the shore, but, when it was
about half way from the tug, it met a |
canoe containing party OF Indians, and |
from them learned that the sailors had |
gone away, but the first officer was ex-
pected to return during the night. As
the party was at Hob Point, IL miles be-
low, the tug steamed five miles from
shore, and anchored until ) A. NJ, when
she steamed pack, and, at : :05, met
canoe containing four Indians, who got
on board and piloted the tug to Hob
Point at S:15, and waited there for two
canoes that were seen coming towards
her The canoes contained First Officer
Smith and eleven seanIen OF the wrecked
ship. After steaming seven miles down
the coast 10 Destruction Island to see the
wreck, We found only ten fathoms of
water, and, Captain Randall deeming it
unsafe to go further, steamed up coast at
, 80, landing the Indian, Capt. Webb,
at Quilonte at II 80, and took on board
Mr.. III. c. Gould, surveyor.

''Tis useless to attempt to paint the

the Samoan
Trade.
TOO MUCH DISCRIMINATION.

San FRASCIsco, March ll.-In an H.
teryiew today, John D. Spreckles, Presi
dent OF the Oceanic Company whose
steamers ply between this city aad
Samoan Island. New Zealand and Aus
trslia, said: ~ do not expect our steam
ers TO run to Samoa and New Zealand
altar the end OF October. The c0lOsies
have taken q decided stand against
maintaining the liue any longer unless
the United States hears one half the to-
tai costs. The service may not cease en-
trely because the North German Llo!d d
Company are arranging TO secure 1t.
They are now running steamers from
Germany to Sidney and are anxious to
extend the service which would be part
OF their Samoan policy. The steamers
would stop at Samoa as ours now do
and the Germans would control this Pa
eifc trade. Without the aid accorded
10 foreign steamship lines We cannot
compete with them and would not at
,enut to do so. The North German
LIoyds receives an enormous subsidy
from the German government such as
We could never hope for" Spreckles
said they were now stopping at Tutuila,
the southern one OF the samoan group,
and dropped mail there to schooner
which took them to Apia, the scene of
the present dispute, seventy miles away.
He said our steamers do not call at
Apia, the capital of Samoa, bat could do
90 if our company was paid for the ex
trE coal required to make longer dis
tsnce on contract time. AS it Is, the
Uuitsd States do not offer any encour-
segment to have a direct connection
with the capital of Samoa although
American steamers pass near there and
The government could receive a weeks
later intelligence than is now possible
and avoid the necessity OF having the
the mails pass through the hands Of for
signers. Mr. Spreckles raid that the
United States was now paying the North
German Lloyd Company one S1.3O per
mile for carrying mails across the Allan
tic while the American vessels are re-
eeiving 81 Is per mile. He said that in
the South American trade the steamers
flying theAmerica flag get less than We
do. II our government extends the same
policy to Lloyd on the Pacific as 1t does
on the Atlantic we cannot compete.
German vessels also are exempt from
tonnage dues in our ports, whereas
American steamers pay at the rate of 80
essts per ton, and American vessels are
compelled to carry mails wherever the
postmaster-general may demerd. Mr..
Buckland, the agent of the Samoan gov
eminent, said Now Zealand vas anxious
TO join with the United States in main
taining an American line but unless
there WE cooperation they would ac-
