1--WE kept on pulling for the shore
and were rewarded by sighting land
about II o'clock noon. We redoubled
our efforts and pulled hard for shore,
but darkness overtaking US we were
afraid to try to land, owing to the
heavy breakers which might dash us
on the rocks. We rested on our own
oars until Tuesday morning, when we
again pulled for the shore, landing
about 80 o'clock.
The landing was very difficult
We had to watch our chance and take
a large wave which would reach
the shore before breathing At last
getting chance, we put out, landing
among the rocks.
GAS soon as We struck we abandoned
the boat and jumped in the water, the
wave washing us up high and dry on
the beach.
Strange to say, we escaped unin-
jured. We were entirely destitute,
and suffering greatly from want of
food, drink and exposure. The people
OF Florence supplied us with food and
clothing, for which we are unable to
sutfic iently thank them. We are now
in good enough condition to 20 on to
Portland. The boat we took on leav-
ing the Alaskan was life boat No. g."

EUGENE, Or, May 2O-Mr. Taylor,
the mail carrier between Eugene and
Florence, seventy miles distant, brings
news OF the safe arrival OF II OF the
crew OF the wrecked steamer Alaskan.
His account is meager and is as follows :
Alter leaving the ship the men were
tossej in fear ul manner by the great
storm, the sea for some hours break
ing over them an con.in tally wetting
them. They came near land at Cape
Perpetua, about IA miles north of
Law harbor, on Thursday noon,
bat were unable to land their boat on
account o. ROCKY the nature of the coast
at that point. After carefully consider
ing the matter, they concluded to try
to swim ashore. All were successful
except one poor fellow, who, after en-
during the horrible suffering OF two
nights and three days in the open
ocean, lost his life.
During the time they were out. all
they had to eat were six cans OF peaches.
Four Of the survivors are at the
house of a rancher near the cape, and
are quite i'll from the effects of
drinking salt water. They were only
stopped from drinking unlimited guam
titles by the force of others. Six of
the survivors are at Florence, destitute,
and are being kindly cared for by the
people OF that town.
Ell Ward, chief cook OF the ill-iated
steamer Alaskan, and one of the
eleven that lanlel at Florence early
Wednesday morning, arrivei in this
city a few moments ago. He was seen
at the Oregon d Cali ornia railroad
station, where party i being organ
izei for the purpose OF starting to the
relief of the men at Florence. He
said:
There were eleven persons in the
boat escaped in. They are:
Z. a. Carlson, seaman.
NJ. keleher, coal passer.
James Mckinley, or McGarry, coal
passer.
Mike McLain, oiler.
Edward sharpless, coal passer.
Harry Johnson, seaman.

the time We left the vessels side, but

After pulling about hall an hour we
passed another boat from the Alaskan
about 100 yards distant. 1t was
moonlight and we tried to keep in
sight OF it, but could not. This was
the last we saw Of the boat or any one
else from the steamer.

the number OF postoffices within her

money order offices for the sale OF
money orders and postal notes, seven
of the number being Offices where for

chased. In addition to the so SO
classed, there are twelve Offices where
postal notes only are sold. The same

other town to trade; lengthen your
face when stranger talks OF locating
in it; If man wants to buy your prop
erty, charge him two prices; if you can't
hog everything, judge everybody by
yourself, and accuse them Of doing it
