DISASTERS AT SEA.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. IL On
Wednesday night the steamer Argo
arrived from Coos bay and reported
a stormy passage. At the same time
she left, the steamer Maggie Ro's
and Arcata started, but nothing was
heard of the Ross today. The Arcata
has not yet been heard from.
The Maggie Ross has been coast
ing for years, and is well known In
shipping circles. She has cargo
Of lumber for San Francisco, ana
left Coos bay on Sunday last. The
wind was blowing gale from the
southwark, and the vessel probably
felt the full force of the storm, be-
ing driven out of her course. She
was owned by o. Greenwald, OF
Port Townsend, and was consigned
to the Golden Gate LAUNDERING Co,
Mrs. Annenson, wife of the stewart,
lives in this city, and was overcome
at the report Of her husbands
death. 1t is believed he was killed
by the falling smokestack.
O. II. Greenw wald, president of the
Golden Gate Lumber company, said
this afternoon. "My opinion Is that
the Maggie Ross got caught in the
trough of of the sea and the waves
washed over her, carrying away the
captain and crew, houses, smoke
stacks, boats, and that the men were
drowned in the raging waters. The
crew numbered fourteen all told.
Captain Marshall was skillful sea.
man and handled vessel very cue,
cessfully. Besides him, there were
Chief Officer Taylor, Chief Engineer
b. w. McAnnery, and ii. G. An
messy, the cook. Then there was the
second mate, another engineer, two
firemen, five hands before the mast,
and a cabin boy. The Maggie Ross
was steamer of about 200 tons
with a carrying capacity Of 500 tons,
She was fully loaded at the time.
This is not the first experience of
the Maggie Ross, Once before she
was stuck on Coos bay bar and had
TO jettison a considerable portion Of
her cargo. Another time she was
towed In from the sea by the steamer
Emily, in disabled condition.
The missing steamer Arcata ar
rived late yesterday afternoon.
