The barkentine Planter, from
Port Gamble, lumber laden for Ho-
nolulu, on Nov. 18th, when thirty
miles off Cape Flattery encountered
fierce gale which swept from the
north. Near midnight the deck
lashings parted, and before the
crew could secure them the cargo
shifted, listing the Planter till the
gunwale was almost under. In
this condition the vessel plunged
before the storm all night, the crew
making desperate efforts to keep
her aAoat. The morning dawned
somewhat calmer and the barken-
tine put about with all the canvas
the captain dared give her. She
succeeded in passing Cape Flattery
when she vas sighted from Car
manah Point and a telegram sent
to Port Townsend, the tugs Lorne
and Wanderer racing to her assist
ance The Lorne reached her first
and brought her into Victoria on
the Goth. She is now in the harbor
kwith ten feet of water in her hold,
her starboard taf'rail at the waters
edge and her tophamper straining
badly. The crew refused to sleep
in her hold for fear of going over.
She will be repaired at Victoria.
