IN THE BREAK ERS,
British Bark's Narrow Escape from
Disaster.

ASTORIA. Or, Nov. 19.-The British
bark Swanmore. 1871 tons, in ballast, q
days from San Francisco, arrived at
l 80 this afternoon. Captain Green
baum has an interesting story to tell of
the narrow escape OF mis- vessel from 60
ing ashore near Cape Falcon or False
Tillamook, early yesterday morning.
The Swanmore arrived off the lightship
about O'Clock Saturday afternoon, and,
finding no tug or pilot, stood off to the
southwark, wind having sprung up
from the northeast.
Early Sunday morning the wind died
away and the Swanmore found herself
enveloped in thick fog, aud, being un.
able to locate her bearings, was COM
pletely lost until the crew were startled
to hear noise that always causes the
sailors blood to run cold-the roaring OF
the breakers on the beach. The anchor
was at once dropped and 30 fsthoms of
chain run out. Here they remained
until 80. when light. otf-shore wind
sprung up and the bark's anchor was
slipped. They stood directly off shore
for about eight miles and the wind
again failed them. Again the vessel
driited toward the breakers, and their
dull, roaring sound was plainly audible,
when a second breeze sprung up and the
Swanmore was headed toward the open
sea.
By this time the fog had lifted and the
crew of the Swanmore could easily dis
tinguish the rugged and perpendicular
cliff of Cape Falcon. At O'Clock they
were nearly eight miles off shore, when
they were again becalmed and com.
menced drifting shoreward. Nearer and
nearer the treacherous land swell car.
ried them, until the bark passed over
the first line of breakers, directly off
the worst part of the rugged headland.
She was drifting slowly ashore snd the
boats were already filled with the ef-
fects of the crew. ready the moment the
vessel struck to clear away and attempt
to get to shore through the surf.
Assistance was at hand, however, for
the little steam coaster Harrison loomed
up to the south. They hao evidently
treas, fer they were bearing down on her
under full head of steam. They
were inside the second line OF
tumbling breakers and dangerously near
the third when the Harrison managed

breakers was desiening, and the swell
Waa running shorewards with terrible
force, and when the line was pulled
taut, and the little steamer started with
her heavy tow, her bits were nearly
torn from her deck. 1t was long and
hard struggle at first, but the Harrison
finally got the bark free from the break
ers, and towing her fully 10 miles off
shore, dropped her. This morning she
was opposite the mouth of the river and
was picked up by tug and brought in
side. Captain Schrader, of the Harr-
son, claims that no bargain was made
in fact, there wsa no time tor etflEing

Greenbaum, OF the SYCAMORE, claims
that a bargain was made for the sum OF
$500.

AUSTRALIAN GOLD FIELDS.

valuable htnts to american Miners
Conoernisg Them.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Very timely,
in view of the great rush OF prospectors
from all quarters of the globe to the
newly discovered gold mines OF Aus
tralia, is an exhaustive report to
the state department, just published,
from United States Consul- G ensrsl
Marratta at Melbourne. He has been
besieged with letters of inquiry from
residents OF California, Colorado,
Nevada and other western mining
states, asking his advice about going to
Australia, and takes this method of
answering inquiries.
The report is very instructive and
goes 30 far into details "a to induce set
of very practical suggestions drawn up
by the Australian minister OF miues, for
the guidance OF people unused to digs
ging for gold, showing where and how it
is to be looked for, anc to aid those
miners who want to get little gold Tor
subsistence as quickly as possible In
easily worked ground. But the kernel
OF the report is in the following para
graph:
There is a good oppoi itunity for min-
ers from the United States we'll versed
in the best methods of obtaining gold,
but it is absolutely necessary that
they come we'll provided with
both funds and experience. with
sufficient OF the former to last them at
least six months, irrespective of what

quite old.fashioned. II some of our

cry and appliances would send repre-

PrTTsBURG. Nov. 19.-Sixtsen cars of
coal broke through the bridge over
Brush creek at Larimer station this
evening, and six or seven miners are
supposed to be buried under the wreck.
The train was on its way down the Lari-

lengths of the bridge car broke down,
and when it reached the siding it tore
its way through, letting the cars down

the trainmen escaped, but the miners,
who vera ON the cars going to their
homes, were carried down and are now
buried under the debris As yet none
of the names of the men have been dis
covered.
1t is certain that five men have been
killed as that number left the mine
when the train started, and this number
are missing from their homes tonight.
Owing to the fact that all the men work
