Charles Anderson, seaman belonging 10
the steamer Emily, was swept from,the YES
sells deck while she was crossing the bar at
Coos Bay and Is believed to have been
drowned The Emily arrived in port yes
terday morning and Captain Robarts SAID
that very heavy sea was running on the
bar when the steamer crossed and she was
swept from stem to stern by the big waves.
All the doors on the starboard side were
smashed and the staterooms filed with
water. Anderson, who was standing ait.
was caught by one of the seas and swept
over the side in the twinkling of an eye. A
lifebuoy and liferaft were thrown TO him as
quickly as possible, but he was too far away
to reach them, and the last seen of him he
was swimming toward the shore. No boat
could live in the terrible sea. 80 the crew OF
the vessel were forced 10 leave him to his
fate. Captain Robarts whistled for the life
boat, but he could not say whether the boat
was got out or not Anderson was a native
of Sweden and was IS years OF age and
single.

about given up as lost. She was laden with
a cargo of anthracite coal for Balfour,
Guthrie & Co., and the last heard oil her

latitude - deg. north, longitude 20 deg.
men is that she was caught in heavy gale
in the vicinity of Cape Horn and f0undered,
owing to the shifting OF her cargo, which is
a very slippery one. The kind Of coal she
carried is not liable to take fire, but many
ship has been lost by the cargo shifting and
throwing the vessel on her beam ends, leav-
ing her completely at the mercy OF the sea.
There is q possible chance that Captain
johnson. after trying in vain to weather
Cape Horn, may have squared away for the
H. Af rAax rnA n
reach San Francisco by that route. but even
had he done SO he should have been in port
ere this, il no accident had overtaken his
